He was sentenced to 2 years on probation along with community service for 120 hours on charges of violation of the Military Service Act. If he commits another crime within the probation period he will be imprisoned for one year. According to the judge, the defendant conspired with the military service broker called Mr. Gu for pretending to be diagnosed with false epilepsy, and used deception as a way to interfere with the execution of official duties, so the crime is not good.
However they further added that Kim Won Sik (RAVI) is a first-time offender with no history of punishment, and he was deeply reflecting on his mistakes, and if he was convicted he would fulfill his military service again depending on his grade. Prosecution revealed that the singer had followed a plan made by Mr. Gu, he pretended to faint to get medically examined. Later in 2021, he submitted a report claiming to have an epilepsy diagnosis which helped him get 4th-grade service. Rapper Nafla was also sentenced to 1 year in prison for faking depression to get away from the service. Nafla was given a public service position at the Seocho-gu office and was revealed to have not been at work for 141 days, he did not work for days to prove that he was unfit and his depression is worsening.
