On the 31st, the first trial of the appeals court will proceed against RAVI and Nafla, who were charged with violating the military service law. On the 10th of last month, a hearing was held by Judge Kim Jeong-ki of the Seoul Southern District Court Criminal Justice 7Exclusive.
In the first trial, RAVI was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years, and 120 hours of community service, and Nafla was sentenced to one year in prison.
In December last year, RAVI conspired with a military broker named Ku to create fake epilepsy patients.
He was put on trial on suspicion of evading the meaning of military service by doing something like this. RAVI, who was determined to be a grade 4 substitute, has been performing substitute service as a social service worker since October last year.
In the first trial, the prosecution asked RAVI to be sentenced to two years in prison, but the trial court at the time said, ``Kim Won-sik (RAVI) is a first-time offender with no prior punishment and has deeply regretted his mistake, so we decided to sentence him to guilty.

Since February 2021, Nafla has been working as a social service worker at the Seocho District Office while colluding with representatives Kim and Koo.
However, he was suspected of faking worsening symptoms of depression in an attempt to obtain a judgment of unfitness for service. Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of two years and six months in prison for Nafla, who did not arrive to work for 141 days during the course of his service, but the trial
The court said, ``While in detention for more than five months, we took into consideration the fact that he acknowledged his mistakes and was remorseful, that he had grown up in the United States for a long time and felt pressure to serve in the military, and that he had been instructed by his military service broker, Mr. Koo.''
He was sentenced to one year in prison for this reason. RAVI subsequently announced their intention to accept the first instance judgment and not appeal, but the prosecution filed an appeal on grounds such as the unfairness of the sentence.
Nafla, who appealed for good behavior several times during the first trial and submitted a statement of remorse, appealed for a reduced sentence, and the prosecution also filed a counter-appeal.
They will appear in court again on the 31st of next month, about two months after the first trial was announced. 2
It will be interesting to see what kind of decision the trial chamber will make at the trial.
