WINNER’s Song Mino Completes Military Service
Song Mino, a member of the popular K-pop group WINNER, has officially completed his mandatory military service. His discharge took place on December 23 at the Mapo Community Service Center in Seoul, as reported by OSEN.
Military Training and Service Details
Mino began his conscription on March 24, 2023, at the Army New Training Center, where he underwent basic military training. Following this, he transitioned to community service, opting for an alternative form of service due to health considerations that affected his ability to participate in conventional military duties.
Controversy and Clarifications
Recently, Mino encountered allegations regarding possible manipulation of his service attendance records. These claims were allayed when officials confirmed that the singer had faced challenges fulfilling his obligations, which were primarily health-related. This clarification followed public scrutiny after a lengthy vacation in Hawaii at the end of October, during which concerns arose about his absence from work.
In a statement addressing these concerns, YG Entertainment, Mino’s management company, explained,
“The reason for the sick leave is an extension of the treatment he was receiving before his service. All other vacation days, etc. were used in accordance with all regulations.”
Kang Seung Yoon: A Standout in Uniform
While Mino navigated his service issues, fellow WINNER member Kang Seung Yoon also completed his military service after enlisting in June 2023. Notably, Kang served as the only member of the group in the armed forces. Throughout his tenure, he received numerous accolades, including commendations for exceptional service in various capacities, recognition as an outstanding recruit, and an early promotion to corporal.
The Journey of WINNER Members
With Mino’s recent discharge, all members of WINNER have successfully fulfilled their compulsory military service obligations. This milestone marks a significant moment for the group as they prepare for future activities together.
