The prosecution said Thursday it is investigating popular singer Rain on suspicion of breaking military rules when he served as an “entertainment soldier.”
According to Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, an unidentified citizen filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police against the singer, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon. The police referred the case to the prosecution in August.
“We are currently investigating the case and Jung can be summoned if needed,” an official from the prosecution office said.
“Though he was discharged, the statute of limitations is still in effect, so he can be punished if illegalities were found during his service,” she added, refusing to disclose further details.
Jung, discharged from his service in July, was disciplined in January for frequently taking leaves and breaking military dress code, while dating top actress Kim Tae-hee.
That prompted some to question whether entertainment soldiers like Jung were given preferential treatment compared to other soldiers.
During his service, he was punished for violating the Military Criminal Act, but he now faces the prosecutors’ investigation as a civilian.
In June, there was a separate scandal that a number of entertainment soldiers visited a massage parlor to buy sex, which was followed by the abolishment of the entertainment soldier system.
But, it was later confirmed the top hallyu star was not involved in the scandal and he was released from his service as scheduled.
