WINNER’s Song Mino has admitted to leaving his assigned workplace while serving as a public service worker, sparking controversy over his alternative service.

On March 31, the National Police Agency held a press conference in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, where an official stated, “We have summoned the individual (Song Mino) three times for questioning, conducted a search and seizure, and reviewed communication records. Based on this, we will determine whether he is guilty.”

The official also confirmed, “(Song Mino) has largely admitted to leaving his worksite during duty hours.”

Song Mino started his alternative service on March 24, 2023, and was officially discharged on December 23, 2023.

However, just before his discharge, suspicions arose that he had frequently been absent from his assigned workplace. Due to these claims, the Military Manpower Administration requested an investigation.

The Seoul Mapo Police Station, which is handling the case, booked Song Mino for violating the Military Service Act and summoned him for questioning on January 23 and February 15. Initially, he denied the allegations, insisting that he had fulfilled his duties properly.

Now, police are wrapping up their investigation, reviewing CCTV footage from the Mapo-gu community facility where he worked and collecting witness statements.

Depending on the findings, the Military Manpower Administration may cancel his discharge and require him to serve additional time to make up for the period in question.

Actor Jung Hae In is finding himself in a very awkward situation over his social media following, and even his good friend Lee Jong Suk has shared his thoughts on the matter!

Recently, Jung Hae In's personal social media account has been flooded with requests from fans to unfollow actor Kim Soo Hyun, who is facing serious personal issues and a legal dispute.

This controversy started after Kim Soo Hyun was edited out of the MBC variety show Good Day, and the public began questioning whether continuing to follow him on social media was a sign of support.

The situation became more complicated when fellow "88s" group member Im Si Wan unfollowed everyone on his list except his agency.

Fans quickly pressured Jung Hae In to do the same, but many felt this demand was unfair.

What really made headlines, though, was Lee Jong Suk’s unexpected reaction to the whole situation. Lee Jong Suk, who is close to Jung Hae In, seemed taken aback by the pressure his friend was under.

He was quoted saying, “It’s just a follow. People need to stop overreacting. Jung Hae In is his own person, and his choices should be respected.” His words have left fans in shock, especially since Lee Jong Suk is usually more private.

While Jung Hae In has done nothing wrong, he’s now caught in the middle of a social media frenzy. Should he unfollow Kim Soo Hyun just to please the public, or should he stand his ground and stay true to his friendships?

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how he will handle this situation, especially with Lee Jong Suk’s support behind him.
