Ravi attended a hearing on allegations of military conscription fraud, on April 11, 2023. Ravi was also sentenced to 2 years in prison. Ravi is suspected of falsifying his medical history when enlisting for military service using the services of a broker. In the medical history, it was stated that he had epilepsy in order to avoid military service as an active duty soldier.
Seoul's southern district court ruled Ravi violated the Military Service Act. The prosecutor asked the court to sentence Ravi to two years in prison. Not alone, rapper Nafla, who is under the auspices of his management GROOVL1N, was also found to have violated the same law. He allegedly lied about his depression diagnosis and was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison.
Regarding this news, Jellyfish Entertainment, as Ravi's old management as well as the management that takes care of VIXX's activities, released an official statement. Management emphasized that Ravi decided to leave VIXX. "We thank the fans who have supported VIXX. We want to inform Ravi that he has decided to leave VIXX," said Jellyfish Entertainment.
"After discussions between Ravi and the agency, it was decided that starting today Ravi will withdraw from VIXX. We apologize for making fans who support VIXX disappointed," he concluded. Previously, Ravi underwent military service in public service before the cheating case was exposed.
Initially, this became an uproar after the police arrested a group of brokers on suspicion of helping famous people avoid or reduce the effects of their mandatory military service.The service is managed by a former military official named Mr. Goo, using the knowledge he gained from serving in the military.
He set up an office in the Gangnam area of Seoul and informs people about how to avoid or reduce their mandatory military service. Mr. Goo is known to work with a number of experts, such as partnering with neurologists to diagnose individuals with epilepsy to help them get released or receive reduced military service.
