VIXX's Ravi is on trial for military service corruption.
According to the legal community on the 11th, Judge Kim Jeong-gi of Criminal Division 7 of the Seoul Southern District Court will hold the first trial on the 11th for a total of eight people, including Ravi and Nafla, on charges of violating the Military Service Act.
Ravi is accused of receiving a reduction in military service by submitting false epilepsy certificates to the Military Manpower Administration through brokers Mr. Gu and Mr. Kim.
In 2012, Ravi was diagnosed with a level 3 physical condition due to bronchial asthma. Afterwards, in 2019, he received a grade 4 through a second physical examination. Immediately after meeting Mr. Koo, in March 2021, he attempted to obtain a level 5 exemption due to false epilepsy. During this process, Ravi acted like fainting and made a false report to 119.
Nafla is also accused of conspiring with broker Mr. Koo to get him declared ‘unfit for service.’ It was revealed that Nafla never went to work for 141 days out of the 1 year and 9 months of mandatory service. However, attendance records, work status, etc. were manipulated.
In addition, professional volleyball player Cho Jae-seong, professional soccer player Kim Seung-jun, and actor Song Deok-ho (Kim Jeong-hyun) are also on trial for the same charges.
