Actor Gong Yoo, who shows his sincere acting by perfectly digesting each role based on his solid acting skills, decorated the cover of the October issue of 'Marie Claire'.

Gong Yoo in the published pictorial revealed a unique personality and free side.

Actor Gong Yoo, who celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut this year, answered in the interview that followed, 'After the age of 20 and 30, the power that leads me as an actor is changing.' “In the past, I was worried about what my role would look like and how I should act, but now that concern has been reversed. Rather, I think more about how I can influence this work and how my role will affect other characters and deliver energy. When choosing a work, in the past, I only looked at my character, but now I am more interested in what kind of story the producers want to tell through this work and what topics they want to raise.” he said.

In response to a question about the YouTube video 'Public SEA Drifting', which became a hot topic after appearing in person recently, he said, "Without planning, composition, or script, I just turn on the camera in the morning and shoot according to the flow of consciousness. I want to show myself as I am.” He also talked about his desire to communicate with fans in a natural, unadorned way.

WINNER's Song Min Ho is facing criticism after photos of him partying and traveling surfaced during his military social service period, where he cited social anxiety, panic disorder, and bipolar disorder as reasons for medical leave.

According to officials from the Mapo Resident Welfare Facility, Song Min Ho was assigned to a role limiting public interaction due to his conditions. A supervisor shared with Dispatch, "Song Min Ho has a fear of crowded places, so we placed him in a low-visibility area."

However, Dispatch revealed photos suggesting otherwise. The rapper was seen enjoying camping trips and parties in Gangwon-do, including a DJ party at a popular café in Goseong in August 2023. At the time, Song Min Ho was reportedly working for the Mapo Facility Management Corporation.

In the photos, Song Min Ho sported long hair, wore shorts, and appeared shirtless, showing off his tattoos. Notable ink included "Proper Posture" on his left shoulder blade, "Clear Mind" on his right, and "PLAY BOY" across his waist.

A partygoer told Dispatch, "He was drinking and smoking, fully enjoying the party. There were no signs of anxiety or discomfort."

This isn't the first time questions have been raised about Song Min Ho's social anxiety. Reports revealed he joined a running crew during his service and even completed a 20km marathon.

A member of the crew emailed Dispatch, saying, "We run together regularly. He’s been working hard on his fitness and lost a lot of weight."

An official from the welfare facility added, "He’s preparing for his return by losing weight and building his physique through personal training."

Despite these efforts, Song Min Ho is now under investigation for alleged incomplete service. On December 23, the Military Manpower Administration referred the case to the Mapo Police Station.

Authorities plan to review evidence, including CCTV footage, entry logs, game data, and testimonies, to determine whether he neglected his duties.

As fans and the public weigh in, Song Min Ho’s medical leave and his social activities continue to spark heated debate.
