South Korean rapper Ravi has left K-pop boy band Vixx after being charged with dodging the country’s mandatory military service by faking epilepsy.Ravi, 30, was previously investigated for getting a military broker to help him fake symptoms of epilepsy during a military examination. He was then allowed to fulfil his obligation in social service in lieu of military service.
“I was assigned to social service due to a past illness and was postponing it for work activities. I then reached a point where it was difficult to postpone my military service any longer,” he wrote in Korean, according to various media outlets. He said he then made the foolish decision to avoid military service. He apologised to those with epilepsy who were hurt by his actions and to his long-time fans.
