On November 22, his agency Blossom Entertainment stated, “Lee Seo Won received a notice of enlistment on November 12, and his trial date [for the fourth hearing] was originally scheduled for November 22. In order to enlist after his trial, [Lee Seo Won] had submitted questions to the Military Manpower Administration, but we received a final notice that according to current laws, attendance at trials does not fall under reasons for postponing one’s military enlistment. Due to this, he enlisted on November 20.”

The agency continued, “[Lee Seo Won] plans to sincerely attend his trial through the military court with the status of a soldier.”

Lee Seo Won had originally been slated to appear at his fourth hearing at the Seoul Eastern District Court on November 22 after pleading guilty to charges of sexual harassment and criminal threats made against him. However, due to the reasons above, he did not appear at the hearing.

The court stated, “We’re told that Lee Seo Won enlisted on November 20. He must receive his military assignment so [his case] can be transferred to the military courts.” The courts have postponed his fourth hearing to be held on January of 2019.

In May, Lee Seo Won was previously charged with sexually harassing a female celebrity and threatening her with a weapon when she rejected his advances.

Dang, that's a really short timeframe for enlistment notice. I wonder if he got more notifications more than a week out and his agency and him were trying to fight it? If not, it explains some idols and actors suddenly enlisting in the middle of projects.

Also idk what this guy did, but I hope if he's guilty, that he gets the book thrown at him and that enlistment doesn't prevent him from being prosecuted.

"attend his trial through the military court with the status of a soldier" this is interesting because makes me assume that there is some kind of loop hole that he plans to use to his advantage. but then again he is a man so he would avoid any kind of culpability anyway.

wow all these male celebrities like this guy and onew are really using their military service as a way to revamp their image and get the public to forget about their crimes. i don't get why men complain about military service when it's a way to escape culpability and you get to hold it over people's heads as though you're the only one who's faced hardships in life. plus using the being drunk defense gets them out of a lot of trouble. men have it made in korea
