Has Seungri escaped K-pop storm? Reports say he has been called up for military duty

Even as two other K-pop artists - Jung Joon-young and Choi Jong-hoon, now face possible jail terms, the ex-BigBang singer has yet to face court charges.

The prosecutors are seeking a seven-year prison term for Jung for allegedly gang-raping women as well as filming and distributing videos of his sexual activities.Choi, who is suspected of having taken part in a gang rape with Jung and others in 2016, could be jailed for up to five-years. Some observers feel that Seungri has dodged punishment because he has not committed any major wrong-doing and that his alleged offences pale against those of Jung and Choi.

But given that almost a year has elapsed since the K-pop storm broke and that Jung and Choi could be bringing the controversy to a close with their sentencing set for Nov 29, the public, weary of the never-ending reports, might be happy to settle for a lighter punishment for Seungri.Astute netizens have noted that reports of Seungri being called up for military duty suggest that the prosecutors could be easing up on him - at least for now - and let him fulfil other responsibilities.
