SONG MINHO
Singer SONG MINHO completed his military service as a social worker, but he has recently been criticized due to the controversy over his poor work. In response, the Military Manpower Administration plans to introduce an electronic system to carefully manage attendance and attendance.
SONG MINHO served as a social worker from March 2023 to the 23rd of last month. He worked at Mapo Facilities Management Corporation and Mapo Residents’ Convenience Facilities.
However, internal reports continued to indicate that SONG MINHO did not keep his travel time, did not work normally, and neglected his work by frequently taking vacations, annual leave, and sick leave.
Regarding the controversy, YG Entertainment, his agency, explained, “The reason for the sick leave is to extend the salary he received before serving, and he used all other leave in accordance with the regulations.“
In response, the Military Manpower Administration announced that if SONG MINHO‘s service attitude is confirmed by a police investigation, his discharge provision should be canceled and he should return to work for the duration equal to the problem.
The police said, “After analyzing (data such as CCTV), we will summon SONG MINHO for investigation.“
In addition, the Military Personnel Administration announced this year’s major business promotion plan on January 21, strengthening the confirmation of social service personnel’s commuting to prevent SONG MINHO‘s case from happening again. It is introducing a procedure for electronic travel confirmation.
It is known that the facilities where SONG MINHO worked are handwritten to write the status of commuting in the public interest and can be falsified at their discretion. It is also surprising that the management of the military service of the computer center was done by hand.
In addition, the Military Manpower Administration will improve the system, including the placement of service institutions reflecting the specialties and professions of social service personnel, the allocation of appropriate tasks, the expansion of education programs focused on employment and entrepreneurship by supporting self-development, the selection of designated enterprises in advanced strategies, and the preferential assignment of personnel.
“Military service is a measure of fairness in our society,” said Kim Jong Chul, head of the Military Manpower Administration.
“In 2025, we will carefully prepare for the changing social and security environment and actively promote a system for the future of young people through various policies in which the value of military service is respected.”
