• Song Min Ho Faces Backlash Over Shirtless Party Pics While on Medical Leave—Fans Ask, "Where’s the Social Anxiety?"

    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.
