RAVI, a former member of boy band VIXX, has made his musical comeback four years after being embroiled in a military service evasion scandal.

On 22 June, he dropped the digital single «녘» (Nyeok). It marks his first new music since «Outdated Dance», released in October 2022.

The track explores a range of emotions and life moments from RAVI’s unique perspective, blending rich lyrics with a calm yet powerful rap delivery over a lyrical melody.

The title can be translated as “turning point”, “direction”, “threshold”, or “twilight” – a poetic Korean word denoting a point of transition.

The idol’s career came to a halt in early 2023 when he was implicated in a scheme to evade military service through document forgery, using so‑called “brokers”.

The court sentenced him to one year in prison, suspended for two years. RAVI subsequently enlisted and completed his service, being discharged on 13 December 2025. In March, he posted a public apology on social media.

«Going through this process, I felt tremendous shame for using my personal circumstances and surroundings as an excuse to seek understanding, when I should have reflected and tried harder. I realised that cowardly acts can cause pain and harm to others. I once again apologise to those who were hurt by my wrongdoings, and I will continue to learn and discipline myself to become a better person in the future»
