Ravi, formerly a member of the idol group VIXX, shared updates on his recent activities after being found guilty of violating the Military Service Act and completing his service as a support personnel.

On the 1st, Ravi posted several photos of himself.

In the photos, Ravi is seen working inside a room.

Fans responded to Ravi's post, which was uploaded without any comment, with supportive replies.

Earlier, on March 27, Ravi began with, "Hello, this is Ravi. It's been a while since I last said hello," and stated, "I was serving as a support personnel since October 2022 when I became subject to a trial related to violations of the Military Service Act, and my service was suspended due to this process. Following the disposition and instructions from the Military Manpower Administration, I fulfilled the remaining service period and was released from duty as of December 13, 2025."

He continued, "During this process, I reflected on myself and realized I should have pushed myself harder. I felt deeply ashamed for making excuses based on my personal circumstances and environment, seeking understanding. I came to realize that my cowardly choices could have caused pain and harm to others." He added, "I sincerely apologize once again to those who were hurt by my wrongful actions, and I will continuously learn and discipline myself to become a better person."

According to the Prosecution Service, Ravi was indicted without detention for conspiring with broker Gu Mo to pretend to be a fake epileptic patient, obtain a false medical certificate, and attempt to secure an exemption from military service. It was investigated that Ravi received an "epilepsy scenario" from Gu, acted as if he had fainted, and underwent hospital examinations. Although the attending physician diagnosed that "no symptoms were confirmed," Ravi ignored this and demanded a prescription, thereby obtaining a recommendation for drug treatment.

In 2021, when Ravi submitted a medical certificate to the Military Manpower Administration indicating suspicion of epilepsy, Gu sent a message saying, "Good, you're exempt from the army."

At the time, during the first trial held on April 11, Ravi admitted to all facts alleged by the Prosecution Service. Having been classified as a supplementary service personnel in Grade 4, Ravi had been fulfilling alternative service as a support personnel since October of last year.

Subsequently, the first-instance court found Ravi guilty of the charges, sentencing him to one year in prison, suspended for two years, and 120 hours of social service. The court stated, "Ravi meticulously planned with broker Gu Mo to attempt to evade military service by feigning epilepsy symptoms despite having none, and obstructed the duties of public officials through deception, indicating poor character." However, the court also noted, "Considering that this is a first offense, Ravi has admitted to his wrongdoing and shown remorse, and appears likely to undergo a new military service evaluation and fulfill his military obligations, all circumstances are taken into account."

Having avoided a prison sentence, Ravi expressed his intention not to appeal the first-instance verdict; however, the Prosecution Service filed an appeal citing reasons such as inappropriate sentencing. At that time, the Prosecution Service had sought a two-year prison sentence for Ravi.

Subsequently, the second-instance court also upheld the original verdict, sentencing Ravi to one year in prison, suspended for two years.
