Dispatch Reveals WINNER Mino’s Shirtless Party Pics, Questioning His “Sick Leave”
In another exclusive report, Dispatch questioned WINNER Mino (Song Minho)’s excuses for taking sick leave from his alternative military duty.
Previously, Mino was suspected of manipulating his service attendance—though YG Entertainment refuted that all sick leave was used according to regulations.
According to Dispatch, a person in charge at the Mapo Resident Convenience Facility did in fact allow Mino’s sick leave, said to be for symptoms of social anxiety, panic, and bipolar disorders.
One representative of the social service program also told Dispatch, “Mino is afraid of crowded places and was placed in a location where he wouldn’t be too noticed.”
However, Dispatch reported that it obtained photos that show a “different situation.”
In the said photos, Mino was seen traveling around areas such as Gangwon province’s Goseong and Yangyang, enjoying camping and parties. In August 2023, the idol attended a DJ party at a popular café in Goseong. At the time, he was serving his alternative military duty as part of the parking management team of the Mapo Facility Management Corporation.
Dispatch noted that the party Mino attended was obviously socially engaging—pointing out his comfortably shirtless visual and his long hair, which he had maintained after his service. One party attendee is said to have told Dispatch, “Mino drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes, and enjoyed the party.”
There was no sign of social anxiety or panic disorder, according to Dispatch.
Dispatch also questioned Mino’s other hobbies, too. Dispatch reported that the idol has been working on his physique with a “run crew” ahead of his discharge. According to Dispatch, a member of the said crew emailed, “We run marathons together,” and “Recently, he even challenged himself to complete a 20km run. He’s also lost a lot of weight.”
That all said, Dispatch asked, “Could it be selective social anxiety disorder?”
Meanwhile, Mino’s case has been handed over to the police. On December 23, the Military Manpower Administration referred the case to the Mapo Police Station for investigation where the idol is currently under investigation as a suspect.
The police are expected to examine the possibility of inadequate service based on CCTV footage, entry/exit information, game logs, communication location tracking, and statements from facility staff.
