(CNN)South Korea's Premier League star Son Heung-min is one game away from avoiding national service. The 26-year-old Tottenham forward can skip military conscription if his South Korea side win the Asian Games final against either Saudi Arabia or Japan Saturday. South Korea beat Vietnam 3-1 in the semifinal at the Pakan Sari Stadium outside Jakarta Thursday to set up the life-changing finale. Any South Korean athletes who win Olympic medals or Asian Games titles are exempt from the usual mandatory military service.
