Song Min-ho, a member of the group WINNER, who is under suspicion of inadequate service while serving as a social service agent, has reportedly acknowledged the allegations during a police investigation.
A police official stated at a regular press briefing held on the 31st at the Cheongsa in Migeun-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, that "he generally acknowledged the part about leaving the work site during working hours."
The police official also mentioned, "We have summoned Mr. Song for questioning three times and conducted searches and communication investigations," adding, "We will determine the presence of charges based on the secured materials."
Song Min-ho served as a social service agent from March 2023 and was discharged on December 23 of the previous year. However, he has been embroiled in allegations of inadequate service, including not properly reporting to work before his discharge.
His agency, YG Entertainment, explained, "The reason for his sick leave is an extension of treatment he was receiving before his service, and all other leaves were used in accordance with regulations," but the suspicions continued.
The police received a request for investigation from the Military Manpower Administration regarding Song Min-ho's alleged violation of the Military Service Act on December 23 of the previous year and are currently investigating. They have conducted questioning three times since January of last year.
