WINNER's Kang Seung-yoon Honored in Military, Song Min-ho Faces Service Scandal



The fate of the group WINNER was mixed.

Kang Seung-yoon will be discharged from the active duty on the 19th.

Kang joined the army on June 20, 2023, and began his active military service with the 6th Infantry Division. Kang Seung-yoon, the only active member of WINNER to join the military, finished his exemplary military career by winning the Excellence Award and early advancement in the writing contest and the reading appreciation contest, starting with receiving the commendation of outstanding trainees at the training center.




This is a distinctly different move from Song Min-ho, who was embroiled in controversy over poor service while working as a social service worker.

Song Min-ho is suspected of not going to work at Mapo Residents' Convenience Facility, where he works, even after traveling to Hawaii for five nights and six days in October. There are also allegations that he manipulated his work by using a system that manually records commuting to work and signing autographs at once.




YG Entertainment, the agency, explained that `Sick leave was for treatment purposes and other vacations were used in accordance with regulations.' However, public opinion toward Song Min-ho rapidly deteriorated due to rumors of a romantic relationship with actor Park Joo-hyun.

The Military Manpower Administration began to find out the facts, and the police also received a complaint to investigate Song Min-ho's alleged violation of the Military Service Act. L, the head of the facility who is suspected of providing Song Min-ho's convenience, was also investigated.




Nevertheless, Song Min-ho remains silent. He reportedly took sick leave on the 18th and did not go to work as the controversy arose on the 17th.
