Seungri Sent Mandatory Military Service Notice During Court Trial
Well it looks like that if Seungri some how gets off from all the charges he is filing the ROK government is ready to still get him by making him do his mandatory military service:
Seungri, a former member of K-pop boy band BIGBANG, has been sent a notification of his mandatory military service, while he has been on trial on charges of gambling and arranging prostitution, the military manpower agency said Tuesday.
Last month, the prosecution indicted the scandal-ridden celebrity without physical detention on charges of gambling overseas and breaching the foreign exchange transaction act, as well as the act on the punishment of arranging commercial sex acts.
“As the investigation into singer Seungri finished, we’ve sent the notice to have him serve the due duty,” the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) said in a release.
If he is allowed to postpone military service repeatedly because of his trial under way at a civilian court, he could eventually end up evading the service as the legal age limit for the service could pass, the agency said.

On February 4, the Military Manpower Administration said they had notified Seungri of his mandatory military service as the criminal investigation was concluded and he had already turned 30 ( Korean age ) and needed to meet the legal age limit for serving. Their statement said they were “concerned a protracted trial in civilian courts” might restrict the military obligation and the case against him would be referred to a military court for trial.
