Seungri on March 9 officially appeared at the 6th Infantry Recruit Training Center in Cheorwon County, Gangwon Province after 2 months from appearing in court. Seungri gets great attention with a completely new look with shaved hair before entering the 5-month training course and then 2 years of military service.According to information from South Korean media, Seungri appeared quite quietly and did not answer any questions from the reporter on the way to the training center. The former BIGBANG member also bent 90 degrees, bowed to fans and the media before officially enlisting. It is known that Seungri will perform his duties as an ordinary soldier.
The enlistment came after prosecutors indicted him without detention in late January on charges of gambling overseas, arranging prostitution and breaching the foreign exchange transaction law.
He is accused of habitually gambling in Las Vegas from 2013 to 2015, breaching the foreign exchange transaction act to secure gambling funds and arranging sex services for foreign acquaintances in 2015.
Prosecutors requested a pretrial detention warrant for him last May and January, but a Seoul court rejected them each time.
Seungri ceased all entertainment activities in March last year after Burning Sun, a nightclub he was affiliated with, was investigated on allegations of drug use and sexual abuse.
Following the conscription, his case will be transferred to the military court.
