Seoul Probes Social Service Misconduct Following Song Min-ho Scandal



The Seoul Metropolitan Government has stepped up to the controversy over Song Min-ho's poor service of the group WINNER.

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon said on the 24th that `a celebrity who recently worked as a social service worker has been controversial about his negligence in service. I ordered an emergency survey on the service status of social service personnel targeting the Seoul Metropolitan Government and its affiliated organizations" he said.

Mayor Oh said, `Some negligence in service should never cause social deprivation and increase antipathy toward military service obligations. We will take stern measures according to the results of the investigation and actively recommend the Military Manpower Administration to improve the system for fair military service obligations if necessary."




Song Min-ho was embroiled in a suspicion of poor service on the 17th. A media outlet raised suspicions that Song Min-ho is not going to work properly after enjoying a trip to Hawaii in October, and that commuting records are handwritten, so it can be manipulated at the discretion of the person in charge.

In response, Song Min-ho's agency YG Entertainment explained, `The reason for sick leave is the extension of the treatment received before service, and all other vacations were used in accordance with the regulations.'

However, social service personnel who served with Song Min-ho opened their mouths and caused a stir. They claimed that Song Min-ho went to work at 10 a.m. instead of 9 a.m., which was set as an excuse for medicine, and that he was excluded from receiving civil complaints, which is his main task because people know his voice because he is a celebrity, and that he went home for lunch after half-lying with AirPods and playing games. In addition, suspicions were raised that Song Min-ho enjoyed the preferential treatment of parking a supercar in a narrow parking space and being provided with a single space even after moving to work due to panic disorder and adaptation problems with a new person in charge.




Accordingly, the Military Manpower Administration and the police are investigating related suspicions.
