“Guilty of military fraud” RAVI (formerVIXX), a letter read out at the first appeals court hearing today (31st)... “Every day of reflection, I am ashamed of myself.”

Former member VIXX's RAVI, who was convicted in the first trial for military fraud, expressed remorse at the first appeals court hearing on the 31st, saying, ``I'm ashamed of myself.''
On the same day, the Criminal Appeals Division 2-3 of the Seoul Southern District Court held the first trial date for the appeals trial against RAVI and nine other people who were indicted on suspicion of violating the Military Service Act.
. Previously, in the first instance, the court sentenced RAVI to one year in prison, two years of suspended sentence, and 120 hours of community service. After the first instance verdict, prosecutors argued that the sentence was unfair given the seriousness of the crime.
An appeal was filed. RAVI accepted the result of the first instance and did not file a letter of appeal. RAVI's lawyer said in the first appeals court trial that day, ``The defendant admits that he made a mistake during the investigation stage and regrets it.''
He did not appeal against the sentence," and added, "It appears that the prosecution's grounds for appeal were fully considered in the first trial and were reflected in the sentencing."
On the same day, during his closing argument, RAVI took out a letter he had personally written and read it, saying, ``My foolish choice.''
I spend every day reflecting and feeling sorry for the people who were harmed by this incident." He said, ``I want to make the people who love me proud in society, so I will do my best.''
"I think I have done my best," he said, adding, "I am ashamed that in the midst of such efforts, I ended up joining the cowardly practices."
He also said, ``While experiencing this incident, I reflected on my attitude in life.''
If so, I will never forget my mistakes and become a better person." RAVI is suspected of colluding with a military service broker, Mr. Gu, to pretend to be a fake epilepsy patient to avoid the meaning of military service.
It is. In 2021, he received a scenario from Mr. Koo, acted as if he had fainted, underwent a hospital examination, and in June of the same year had a military medical certificate indicating that he had epilepsy suspected be issued to the Military Manpower Administration.
