MC Mong to accept court of appeals' decision

It seems that MC Mong's military draft evasion case has finally come to a close. After a long, tedious battle in the courts, the singer has decided to accept the decision made by the court of appeals, and has given up �appealing a second time. MC Mong's agency told Star News on November 23rd, "We have decided to accept the court of appeals' decision, and have made the final decision of not appealing to the Supreme Court. MC Mong had until the 23rd to submit an appeal to the Supreme Court, however, he has decided to humbly accept the decision." With this news, the verdict from the court of appeal (which is the same as the original one he received) will uphold his sentence of 6 months jail sentence suspended up to 1 year and 120 hours of community service. - To recap: Back in April, the court's verdict found MC Mong 'not-guilty' of violating Korea's military service law, for it couldn't be proven that his teeth was extracted for the purpose of evading his military draft. However, the court found him guilty on obstruction of justice charges for delaying his military enlistment without a valid reason. MC Mong was sentenced to a suspended six-month prison term, a year of probation, and 120 hours of community service. The drama continued in the court of appeals, as MC Mong's representatives argued that he was unfairly judged on his obstruction of justice charges, and therefore requested an appeal. The prosecution was also unhappy with the court's verdict, as they believed that he�was intentionally trying to evade mandatory military service. Since they could not accept the court's decision of 'not guilty' for those charges, they had requested an appeal as well. Last week, the court of appeals reached a verdict, which was the same as the original one the singer had received. Rather than fighting the decision once more with a second round of appeals, MC Mong has decided to accept the court's decision, and has thus brought this case to a close after a year.
