Rapper Ravi (Kim Won-sik, 30 years old) was tried for violating the Military Service Act after making a fake disease to avoid military service.
The prosecution demanded two years of conscription for Ravi on charges of military service corruption. Ravi arranged with the agency’s representative and received a false medical certificate for epilepsy. He is suspected of attempting to exempt him from military service by submitting this medical certificate to the Military Manpower Administration.
Ravi is also a Korean rapper, but has appeared regularly on entertainment shows such as ‘2 Days and 1 Night’. There has been a friendly and bright image in the meantime because it meets with viewers every week. However, all the images that have been accumulated at one moment have been lost due to the military service corruption scandal.
Ravi said he admitted all the allegations and reflected on them. I will live with a heart of atonement for the rest of my life.” In Korea, men must go to the army. Those who do not go to the military are only those who suffer from serious diseases.
Therefore, military service corruption against Korean male celebrities is a very sensitive matter. However, there have been continuous military service irregularities among celebrities and their children.
