Those celebs better hope that their names are never revealed because it will be over for them.

Tbh it didn’t even cross my mind that there would be administrative brokers for this but it makes sense. It’s just wild.
My faves have fulfilled/will fulfill military conscription so I can breathe a sigh of relief. It actually wouldn't take that much work to figure out a list of celebrities that didn't fulfill it.
I think military conscription in Korea will be abolished in our lifetime. Maybe in 10 years.
But the current presidential administration in Korea is conservative and I believe they'll put even more restrictions to ensure mandatory enlistment is fulfilled, at least in the next few years.
One thing I did hear when he first took office was that the age system was going away and they'd use the international system across the board. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Oh god if anyone is revealed it's over for their career
Can someone make a list of which celebrities, artists and athletes were exempted? I only know Son Heung Min was exempted, but it's actually legit so he's not included in this shady list.

i have a suspicion that some celebs weren't exempted but given public service by faking medical history.

This was common to us it's the reason chaebols get exempted money talks. As for the celebs? Yes they are burned forever. We don't take kindly to cheating. This was one of the reasons exemptions and whole BTS exemption got soo much flak because in the past celebrities and idols got favoritism in the military that's where the whole its a vacation came from. But thing's changed alot and Isn't as corrupt as it used to be. This whistleblower coming out brings out the past and most people here in Korea will be very unforgiving of the people mentioned regardless of who they might be
Turned out to be VIXX's Ravi. The #1 story on Naver currently.

/Photo = Reporter Kang Min-seok msphoto94@It is said that Ravi of the boy group VIXX was involved in a corruption scandal to avoid military service using a false diagnosis of epilepsy.
The Kyunghyang Shinmun reported on the 12th that a group of brokers who were arrested for evading military service advertised their performance saying that a famous idol rapper was exempted from military service through him.
According to this media, it was revealed that one party of brokers was falsely diagnosed with epilepsy at a designated hospital, and then, based on this, received a military service exemption or military service grade adjustment. In the process, a situation was also discovered in which the broker's daily party took over 100 million won from the client.
It is known that among the clients who have been exempted from military service through them are celebrities, children of the legal profession, and famous idol rappers. In particular, it was revealed that the brokers used the case of rapper A, who was a former idol, as a means of publicity. During the consultation process, the broker was reported to have said, "Mr. A also received the 4th grade through me."
Mr. A was designated as Ravi. Ravi got off from KBS 2TV's entertainment program '1 Night 2 Days' in May of last year, entered the training center in October of that year, and has been performing alternative military service as a social worker. Ravi's agency, Groovlin, is currently silent and does not receive contact from reporters.

[Sports Chosun.com Reporter Lee Joo-joo] Vicks Ravi is under suspicion that he was exempted from military service through a military service broker.
On the 12th, the Kyunghyang Shinmun reported that a group of brokers who were arrested for evading military service advertised that they had lowered the body ratings of celebrities and children of the legal profession. This group of brokers is accused of taking over 100 million won by falsifying symptoms such as epilepsy and getting a military service exemption or military service grade adjustment. Among the 100 or so clients who were exempted from military service through them, celebrities such as sports players, children of high-ranking officials, and famous idol rappers were included. In particular, they are known to have promoted the case of Mr. A, saying, "The rapper, Mr. A, also received the 4th grade through me."
As a result, suspicion that Mr. A was Ravi arose. Ravi got off from KBS2's '2 Days & 1 Night' last year to enlist in the military, and enlisted as a social worker in October of the same year for health reasons.
Amidst the controversy, Ravi's agency, Groovlin, has not been able to contact him.
Yikes. That's basically it for his career isn't it

is it proven?
agency out of contact???
will the agency get in trouble along with him?
He has his own agency
He has his own agency
he owns it?
is it proven?
I should have clarified I meant if it's proven.
I figure the Korean public won't be merciful on him since they take this matter seriously.
he owns it?
Yes. He's founder and co-Ceo
I mean, you’d be hard pressed to find a country with mandatory military services, where the wealthy don’t find a way to game the system, so this isn’t unique to SK or a crazy amount of corruption lol.
I think idols just do it less, because they are super public figures versus a CEO’s son that no one has heard of.
Another thing someone pointed out, was idols tend to do public service for their military service (probably at a higher rate than normal people). It’s possible this could be seen as a sign of corruption also, but im saying this without actual proof on rates, just from what i see.
NGL, I was kinda confused when Ravi got public service because he's never seemed to have any issues that would mean he can't fulfil regular service. But then again I don't follow him closely and only know like two songs tbh.
It really is going to be over for a lot of idols if their names are released and it's confirmed...
Yet that boy who got into some soccer team wasn’t allowed to get exemption. Didn’t know it was easy in Singapore otherwise.

It is almost impossible to exempt here unless you are disabled or would be serving long term in jail at young age but very easy to get what we call a down pes here, Pes A-B is combat fit while C and E is combat unfit duties, this is what I meant.. Even our national Olympics winner are not exempted from serving military..

I know lol. I live in Singapore too. My friend had spine issues so he was not able to serve in combat fit but I didn’t know some faked it haha
So he did serve, but falsified papers to say he had epilepsy? Just trying to figure out what exactly happened. Isn't public service still considered serving? I mean it's still fraud, but it's not exactly the same as having been "exempted" right? Or am I confused and public service is not considered military service?

Yeah I am confused as well lol.. I was wondering how they get ''exempted'' without serving since I believe SK is really strict in this..
I think this is very common. He's just unlucky If true, because he got caught.
what was Baekhyun's diagnosis?
Hypothyroidism.
