Personal life

Military service

On October 7, 2022, Ravi's agency announced that he will enlist for his mandatory military service on October 27. After completing basic training he will complete his service as a social worker.[70]

Suspicion of involvement in the 2022 epilepsy military service corruption case

On January 12, 2023, two military service exemption brokers that were questioned by prosecutors were arrested and charged. It was confirmed from the investigation that Ravi's name is one of the clients who have been consulted. Ravi's agency, which at first could not be contacted, later announced that it was only appropriate to give a statement after they find out the details, since the investigation is related to the duty of defense of the country.[71][72]

After that, investigators found the documents of Ravi's military service examination on the mobile phone of Mr. Gu, one of the illegal military brokers.[73]

On February 10, 2023, the agency confirmed that Ravi has never been summoned by the prosecutor for conscription evasion. If there is a request for an investigation, Ravi is willing to cooperate fully.[74]

On March 2, 2023, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor's Office requested an arrest warrant for Ravi. On March 7, 2023, the judge in charge of the case dismissed the arrest warrant because of the unlikeliness of Ravi fleeing or destroying evidence.[75]

On March 13, 2023, a press conference held by the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor's Office and the Military Personnel Bureau confirmed that 137 people (109 people, 5 government officials, 21 accomplices, and two military recruiters) including Ravi himself, has been charged for violating the Military Service Act.[76]

On April 11, 2023, the court found Ravi guilty of violating the Military Service Act., while Ravi admitted to all the allegations and apologized, with the prosecution asking for him to be sentenced to 2 years in prison.[77]

On July 25, 2023, it was reported that the Seoul South District Court's military corruption trial was scheduled to hear nine people, including harasser Nafla, for violating the Military Service Act. August 10, the court, which completed the pleadings on July 20, is scheduled to give a verdict on them on August 10 after completing the trial of all the defendants through an additional date. As the charges of these nine people differed, the court proceeded sequentially from recognizing the prosecution's facts to seeking prosecution.[78]

On August 10, 2023, Judge Kim Jung-ki of the Seoul Southern District Court's Criminal Division 7 on Tuesday afternoon sentenced Ravi, with respect to his conviction, to one year in prison, suspended for two years, and ordered him to perform 120 hours of community service.[79]
