Korean pop star Mino, a member of the band WINNER, may face an additional 102 days of military service following a suspended prison sentence for violating the country's Military Service Act. The Military Manpower Administration stated that Mino will serve the days he was absent without permission if the court's final ruling is implemented.
On Thursday, Seoul Western District Court sentenced Mino, whose legal name is Song Min-ho, to one year in prison, with the sentence suspended for two years, after finding him guilty of the violation. The court's ruling is from the first trial and has not been finalized yet. Mino's absence from duty was found to be 102 days out of approximately 430 required workdays.
Prosecutors claimed that the 10-month prison term, also suspended for two years, was handed to the official who supervised Mino's service during the trial. If the final ruling is upheld, Mino's total military service time could increase by 102 days.
