WINNER - MINO
Police have launched an investigation into WINNER member MINO’s alleged dereliction of military duty, police said Thursday.
The case was filed with the Mapo Police Station by a netizen on Wednesday after media reported that MINO manipulated his attendance record to abuse his military leave.
Local media outlet Dispatch reported Tuesday morning that the rapper and singer took advantage of his relationship with a government official to abuse his military leave. The government official mentioned in the report holds a high-ranking position at the community facility where MINO is serving his military duty as a social service officer.
His agency, YG Entertainment, denied the rumor later in the day, saying, “MINO has taken leave in accordance with military regulations, especially sick leave for his medical treatment.“
MINO had revealed on shows such as “Dr. Oh’s Golden Clinic” (2021-2024) that he was suffering from mental health issues.
The WINNER member began his military service on March 24 and is scheduled to be discharged on December 23. Social service workers who violate military regulations may face extended military service.
The Military Manpower Administration launched an investigation into the allegation on Tuesday.
