Song Min-ho, a member of the group WINNER, left service for a total of 102 days amid suspicions of poor service, and the manager is suspected of participating.

According to the JoongAng Ilbo on the 11th, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office stated in the indictment, "Song Min-ho was absent without permission for a total of 102 days while working as a social service worker at the facility management corporation and resident convenience facilities in Mapo-gu, leaving the service without justifiable reasons."

The service period of social service personnel is 1 year and 9 months, and the total number of days to go to work except weekends and holidays is about 430 days. Song Min-ho left the period equivalent to about 4 minutes 1 without permission.

Song Min-ho's service period was from March 24, 2023 to December 23, 2024. He is said to have been away for more days as he approached his discharge date. According to the criminal list prepared by the prosecution, Song Min-ho had only one day off from service between March and May 2023, but it increased to 14 days in November 2024, a month before he was discharged from the military.

In particular, he left for a total of 19 days in July 2024. The day he had to work was 23 days, but it turned out that he only worked four days.

In addition, the prosecution believed that manager A also participated in Song Min-ho's departure from work. If Song Min-ho refused to go to work due to overslept or fatigue, A allowed it, and reportedly wrote a false document as if he had gone to work normally.

It is known that even specific circumstances of the conspiracy have been revealed. In May 2023, A informed Song Min-ho in advance that he was not going to work, saying, "I don't go to work tomorrow because I have an education, so I'll see you on May 31st." Since then, the prosecution stated in the indictment that A also wrote a daily service situation book like Song Min-ho went to work.

Song Min-ho is suspected of working poorly ahead of the cancellation of the call-up in 2024. Frequent sick leave and unfaithful attendance became a problem. YG Entertainment said at the time, "Song Min-ho's sick leave was an extension of the treatment he had received before his service, and all other vacations were used in accordance with the regulations." It is known that Song Min-ho has been receiving treatment for panic disorder and bipolar disorder.

In the end, Song Min-ho was indicted without detention late last year on charges of violating the Military Service Act. The first trial date was scheduled to be held on March 24, but Song Min-ho's side submitted an application to postpone the trial date on the 5th. The trial date will be held on April 21.
