Ravi, a former member of the idol group VIXX, personally told about his status as a member of the military service law after he was convicted of violating the military service law.

Ravi said on the 27th, "Hello, I'm Ravi. Greetings after a long time," he said, adding, "I have been working as a social service worker since October 2022 and have been tried in connection with the violation of the military service law, and the process has led to a suspension of my service. Since then, according to the disposition and instructions of the Military Manpower Administration, the remaining period of service has been fulfilled and has been canceled as of December 13, 2025."

"I felt ashamed of myself for wanting understanding using my personal situation and environment as an excuse when I had to look back and push myself through this process, and I realized that a cowardly choice could hurt and damage others," he said. "I apologize again to those who were hurt by my wrong actions, and I will continue to learn and strengthen myself to live a better person in the future."

According to the prosecution, Ravi was indicted without detention on charges of conspiring with a military service broker, Gu, pretending to be a fake epilepsy patient, receiving a false medical certificate, and attempting to exempt him from military service. Ravi acted as if he fainted after receiving a "epilepsy scenario" from Koo and underwent a hospital examination, according to the investigation. The doctor in charge diagnosed that "symptoms are not confirmed," but it was found that he ignored it and asked for a drug prescription to receive opinions on drug treatment.

When Ravi submitted a medical certificate to the Military Manpower Administration in 2021, he sent a message saying, "Good, it's military exemption."

At that time, Ravi acknowledged all the prosecution's charges at the first trial held on April 11. Ravi, who was diagnosed with Grade 4 supplementary service, has been performing alternative service as a social service agent since October last year.

Afterwards, the first trial court found Rabi guilty and ordered a year in prison, two years of probation, and 120 hours of community service, and ruled, "Ravi tried to evade military service as a way to pretend that he had no symptoms of epilepsy by carefully planning with broker Koo, and interfered with the work of public officials as a hierarchy. However, the court said, "We take into account all circumstances, including the fact that he is a first-time offender and acknowledges and reflects on his wrongdoings, and that he is expected to fulfill his military service obligations by being judged to serve in the military again."

Ravi, who escaped prison, accepted the first trial's ruling and expressed his intention not to appeal, but the prosecution filed an appeal for unfair sentencing. At the time, the prosecution demanded two years in prison for Ravi.

The second trial court then maintained the original ruling, which sentenced Ravi to one year in prison and two years of probation.
