Squid game tattoo and Korean culture

https://screenrant.com/squid-game-season-2-kang-dae-ho-marine-backstory-explainer/

I’ve watched a few promotional videos by the Netflix cast of Squid Game Season 2 and noticed the speculation about one character’s backstory as an ex service person with Korean marines.

Is there a specific culture in Korea that would explain why a person may try to pretend to be a marine? Especially by putting on a tattoo?

I’ve lived for some years in Taiwan, where there’s no reason so far visible why someone might conjure up a service history, since the law there conscripts able-bodied men anyway.
