Amy,

re:This same word of caution may also apply to people who were born in the US, but whose parents (or even grandparents) came from somewhere else. Many countries have laws conferring citizenship on the basis of the citizenship of one's parents or grandparents (even the US has a limited law of this kind). I personally knew someone, some years ago, who got into trouble in South Korea because his father was born in Korea. Even though my friend was born in the US and had never claimed or believed himself to be a Korean citizen, he had to cut short his visit to his ancestral homeland in order to avoid being drafted into the South Korean army.


Even if this was true - it can only happen if this person was traveling on a Korean passport. I personally know a guy with dual US and French citizenship and when he went to France on his French passport at 19 years old he was tagged for duty or renounce his French citizenship. A phone call to Dad in the USA and off he went to the military for a year.
