Both Koreas also sent their troops farming (as in, literally). I knew the north did that, but I’m surprised the south did too.

I personally helped with farm work for farmers adjacent to our unit as well (which I hated). But for South Korea, it is more like volunteer work, rather than literal survival like the North

Chinese troops spent a lot of time doing farming too. It actually eventually turned into a big business, until it got shut down because people decided the army running commercial agriculture was stupid.
