[Asia Economy Reporter Park Ji-hwan] The Military Manpower Administration announced on the 4th that it has sent an enlistment notice to Seungri (real name Lee Seung-hyun, 30), a former member of the group Big Bang, who was indicted on charges of overseas gambling worth billions of won and mediating prostitution.

The Military Manpower Administration stated, "We have consistently expressed the position that enlistment notices will be issued following the same procedures as ordinary citizens once the investigation is concluded," adding, "This is because prolonged trials in civilian courts could disrupt the imposition of military service obligations."

The Administration emphasized, "If Seungri enlists, jurisdiction over the trial will be transferred to a military court according to relevant laws," and added, "We will actively cooperate with the prosecution to ensure a fair judgment and will facilitate the trial by considering the progress of civilian court rulings on related cases."

Specific details regarding Seungri's enlistment date or assigned unit were not disclosed as they pertain to personal military service information.
