MMA said on March 20 that it has decided to accept a request by SEUNGRI to delay his enlistment amid ongoing police probe into allegations surrounding him.
SEUNGRI's conscription, which was originally scheduled for March 25, will be postponed by three months.
The administration added, "After the postponement period expires (after three months), there will be a new decision on whether to carry out the enlistment procedure or to delay it based on the conscription law."
SEUNGRI's case was classified as an "unavoidable reason", as the probe extends to suspicions that SEUNGRI arranged sexual escort services to potential investors of his business.
