WINNER’s Song Mino Receives Suspended Sentence Over Service Violations

Song Mino of K-pop group WINNER received a suspended prison sentence on Thursday after repeatedly leaving his alternative military service post without authorization. The Seoul Western District Court found the 33-year-old rapper guilty of violating the Military Service Act and ordered a one-year prison term, suspended for two years.

The sentence does not require Song to serve the prison term immediately. He will not serve the one-year term unless the suspension is revoked during the two-year period. The court’s ruling therefore makes the prison sentence conditional for that period, according to the information provided in the report.

The case concerns Song’s alternative military service and unauthorized absences from his assigned post. The report also begins to identify a supervisor who oversaw Song’s service, but the available text does not provide further details about that person or the supervisor’s role in the case. No additional ruling or details are included in the source text.
