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.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
