I’m a Korean American who has never lived in Korea, but I need to start my national military service. How can I increase my chances of getting into KATUSA?

In January I have to start my national military service. I was born in the United States and have never once lived in Korea. I am a dual citizen so my parents want me to serve my two years. I’m really worried that military service in a foreign country is going to be really hard for me.

I’ve heard about KATUSA and I feel like it would be the best fit for me. I do understand that it is completely based on luck, but I want to take any measures or steps that I need to take to increase my chances of getting in. I’m kind of desperate here for answers, and just the thought of leaving my family, friends, and university behind for two years is terrifying. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: For those telling me to withdrawal my Korean citizenship and not go, I appreciate your concern. However, that option is out of the table because my parents own property in South Korea and me not having Korean citizenship complicates the inheritance process. Also, I am a college student. I am still financially dependent on my parents.
