Former WINNER Member Song Min Ho to Face Trial Over Military Service Act Violations
For several months, former WINNER member Song Min Ho has been under intense public scrutiny due to allegations of violating South Korea's Military Service Act. The case, which has been under investigation for an extended period, has now taken a significant turn with the announcement that the K-pop idol will soon face an official trial for the charges against him.
Song Min Ho to Face Trial for Breaching the Military Service Act
According to reports from Naver, the idol is scheduled to attend his first hearing at the Seoul Western District Court on charges of violating South Korea's Military Service Act. The initial trial hearing is set for April 21 of this month. The report indicates that along with Song Min Ho, another officer from his unit, who was responsible for supervising his service, has also been called and charged for the trial. Both individuals have been indicted without detention on identical charges.
Min Ho is facing allegations of breaching his mandatory military service obligations. Reports suggest he has been accused of leaving his workplace on multiple occasions without proper justification. Additionally, he has been charged with neglecting the duties assigned to him during his service period. The idol served as a public service worker from March 2023 to December 2024 in the Mapo District of Seoul.
It has also been alleged that the other officer facing charges neglected their supervisory responsibilities over Song Min Ho. Furthermore, reports claim this officer was fully aware of the idol's discrepancies and violations during his time at the facility.
