The attorney of former VIXX member Ravi appealed to the court for leniency and requested consideration of his client's career.

On April 11, the first trial of the nine people involved in the case of violating the Military Service Act, including Ravi and Nafla, was held in the 7th Criminal Division of the Seoul Southern District Court.

Ravi and Nafla conspired with a broker in 2021 and submitted a false diagnosis to the Military Manpower Administration to evade military service. Prosecutors are asking that Ravi and Nafla be sentenced to two years in prison and two years and six months in prison, respectively.

Ravi's legal representative stated, "Ravi is not only just a celebrity but is also responsible for a company and its employees. So he made the wrong choice thinking he must take care of them. He is self-reflecting and feeling deeply ashamed."

The lawyer added, "For some people, their youth in their 20s is the pinnacle of their life. It is unfortunate that there are some careers that end after that period. I ask the court to take this into consideration and ask the court to make a decision also considering that the defendant is deeply self-reflecting."

Meanwhile, Ravi enlisted in October of last year and served as a social worker. Prosecutors believe that Ravi signed a contract worth 50 million KRW (~37,791 USD) with a military service broker even though he has no health problems, pretended to have epilepsy, and received an alternative service decision.

Ravi has admitted to all charges. In his closing argument, he said, "While undergoing trial until now, I desperately realized how great my fault was and how many people I had hurt. I apologize to the patients and their families. I will not forget this time for the rest of my life and live with a heart of atonement."
