[Mr. Gu Mo, a military service broker: The same is true for the son who is in ○○○ (large law firm) or △△△ (large law firm), and if you have some business there, please ask if your son is not in the army.]

The military service broker's rant about not leaving the army due to epilepsy was found to be true after an investigation by the Joint Investigation Team.

Lawyers from large law firms, oriental doctors, and other influential members of society paid as much as 1 million won to solicit their son's exemption from military service.

The faces of those who were exempted also covered all walks of life.

In addition to professional volleyball player Cho Jae-sung, he has been identified in the sports world such as professional football, golf, horseback riding, and badminton, as well as doctors, medical students, movie star Song Deok-ho, rappers Ravi and Napla.

1 people, including parents, sons, and accomplices, two military service brokers totaling more than 130.16 billion won, and five officials from the Military Affairs Administration and the district office were brought to trial.

Military Affairs Agency and district officials were found to have falsified rapper Napla's attendance records as a social welfare agent.

They allegedly falsified Napla's records as if he had been at work for 16 days even though he had never been at work, and that he participated in attempts to release him early by pretending that he had taken frequent early leave and sick leave due to mental illness such as depression.

The Military Affairs Agency has said it will investigate all those who have been exempt from active duty for the past seven years because of epilepsy.

We also decided to strengthen the criteria for judging, such as using blood tests to determine whether they actually took drugs to identify fake patients.

Prosecutors said they would continue to investigate military misconduct, saying they would thoroughly maintain the prosecution so that punishment commensurate with their responsibilities could be meted out.
