Song Mino: 3 Years, 102 Days — The Full Story

Song Min-ho, formerly of WINNER, debuted, had the hits, served twenty-one months as a social service agent, and was then convicted of skipping a hundred and two days of it. In October 2026 he got a suspended sentence and posted a hand-written apology. This is the whole story in order: who he is, how Korea's service system works, what happened in 2023 and 2024, the trial, the verdict, the aftermath, what happens next, and why this hits so hard in Korea.
