The term **"chaebong hyung"** is a derogatory South Korean internet slang phrase used to refer to men who have not completed mandatory military service by age 35. It loosely translates to "human garbage" and carries a strong negative connotation. The term combines **"chaebong"** (a pejorative implying worthlessness or trash) with **"hyung"** (a term used by males to address an older male, meaning "older brother").
Men labeled as "chaebong hyung" are often stigmatized in South Korean society, where military service is seen as a rite of passage and a marker of masculinity. They may face social ridicule, are perceived as less desirable for marriage, and are sometimes relegated to low-paying jobs, such as in sanitation or food service, due to societal prejudice. The term is frequently used in online forums and media to mock or criticize such individuals, often tying their lack of service to a perceived failure to fulfill societal expectations.[](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hyung)[](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chaebong%2Bhyung)
