On the 24th, a report from buyer A, who did not receive a painting of Song Min-ho, who purchased it two years ago, was released on JTBC 's Case Team Leader'.
Mr. A purchased a giraffe painting called 'I thought' for 25 million won at Song Min-ho's first private exhibition in December 2022.
The work was scheduled to be delivered in February 2023 after the exhibition ended, but the delivery schedule continued to be delayed.
Citing overseas exhibition schedules, the gallery conducted the exhibition after the curator in charge negotiated sales, and received a call that he did not want to sell the paintings on display due to issues such as overseas exhibitions. I decided to give you a similar painting that the artist has newly worked on."
The work is already known to have been reserved by Song Min-ho's fellow female singer. However, Song Min-ho argued that it was a mistake by the gallery, saying that the gallery received a reservation for sale without the artist's consent.
In the end, the case ended up in a civil suit. The court ruled in favor of A. However, the ruling said "Hand over the picture to Mr. A, and if it is impossible to deliver, pay the deposit."
The painting became more expensive than it was at that time, and A wanted only the painting, but he could not accept the ruling that "Pay the deposit".
Accordingly, A prepared for the second trial. Mr. A tried to apply for a second trial claiming 40 million won in alimony due to mental pain and financial damage, which cost tens of millions of won in civil lawsuits, including attorneys' fees, because of Song Min-ho's painting.
However, the buyer said that the settlement claim was not recognized in the second trial and that he is currently considering an appeal. The gallery said "The buyer is asking too much" countered.
On the same day, Song Min-ho was also questioned by police over his poor service.
According to the police, the Mapo Police Station in Seoul summoned Song Min-ho for questioning on charges of violating the Military Service Act the previous day. In a four-hour survey, Song Min-ho said, `I served normallyIt is said to have stated to the effect that "
The police are investigating after receiving an investigation request from the Military Manpower Administration on the 23rd of last month for Song Min-ho's alleged violation of the Military Service Act. In addition, on the 27th of last month, a search and seizure of a resident convenience facility in Mapo-gu, where Song Min-ho worked, secured closed-circuit (CC) TV video data.
Accordingly, the police are analyzing Song Min-ho's commuting time based on the data obtained.
Meanwhile, Song Min-ho joined the military as a social service worker in March last year and was canceled on the 23rd of last month. However, when it was reported that he did not work properly during this period, he was embroiled in a controversy over poor service.
YG Entertainment, the agency, explained that `Sick leave was for treatment purposes and other vacations were used in accordance with regulations,' and the person in charge of Song Min-ho's workplace also explained that `Song Min-ho was classified as a target for early discharge due to panic disorder and depression, but he had a strong will to endure to engage in entertainment activities" wrapped around it. However, as further revelations continued regarding Song Min-ho's activities, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon ordered a full investigation, and the Military Manpower Administration asked the police to investigate.
