On Thursday December 26, 2024, the Mapo Police Station announced that they would soon summon Mino (Song Min Ho) on suspicion of violating the Military Service Act, following a request from the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) to investigate the matter.
Unfortunately, Mino's summons date has not been scheduled. Regarding this, an official from the MMA stated, “We have requested a police investigation into Song Mino for violating the Military Service Act. After conducting an internal review, we have determined that some matters require further confirmation by the police.”
As the controversy grew, Seoul Mayor Oh Se Hoon said on December 24, 2024, "I have ordered an 'emergency comprehensive investigation into the status of social service workers' targeting the Seoul Metropolitan Government and its affiliated organizations.
I will take strong action based on the results of the investigation, and if necessary, I will propose improvements to the Military Manpower Administration to ensure fair military service obligations." The police are currently reviewing the details of the MMA's request to determine whether the Winner member violated the Military Service Act.
If the negligence charges are confirmed, his discharge may be revoked, and he will be asked to serve additional punishment to account for the period in question. As is known, Mino began his alternative service in Mapo-gu, Seoul on March 24 last year. He was finally discharged from military duty on December 23, 2024.
About a week before his discharge, on December 17, 2024, suspicions arose that Mino's attendance and attitude were messy. It was confirmed that he had taken sick leave and was absent from work from the 17th, when the controversy arose, to the 23rd, the day the idol was discharged.
Regarding this, Mino's agency, YG Entertainment, stated to Newsen on December 17, 2024, "It is difficult to confirm detailed information regarding the artist's duties. However, we would like to inform you that the reason for the sick leave is an extension of the treatment he received prior to his duties, and that all other vacation days, etc. have been used according to regulations."
A day before Mino was discharged from the military, he was again dragged into negative accusations related to his military service. This time, YouTuber and reporter Lee Jin Ho accused the idol of receiving special treatment regarding parking and the distance to his military service.
Mino's controversy then received various comments from netizens. Of course, fans are waiting for the latest news on the case, and continue to give their support to Mino. On the other hand, netizens have launched harsh criticism at the 1993 idol.
