WINNER’s Mino faces 102-day return to military service after avoiding jail over duty-dodging scandal

WINNER member Mino, whose real name is Song Min-ho, faces an additional 102 days of mandatory military service following his original discharge last year. The scandal stems from his repeated unauthorised absences during his previous service period. Mino, 33, could be called back to duty after his suspended prison sentence for violating South Korea's Military Service Act became final.

The Military Manpower Administration (MMA) is reviewing his case following the court's final ruling. Mino had served as a social service worker in Seoul's Mapo district from March 2023 to December 2024, but was found to have missed 102 days of work. This accounts for nearly a quarter of the required 430 working days. Authorities are now investigating the circumstances surrounding his attendance during his service.
