Song Mino Accused of Receiving Preferential Treatment: Work Location Altered to 14-Minute Walk, Flexible Parking Arrangements, and 10 AM Start Time

Recent allegations have emerged concerning Song Mino, suggesting that his workplace has been relocated to a site significantly closer to his residence, alongside receiving privileged parking accommodations.

On December 23, former entertainment reporter and YouTuber Lee Jin-ho released a video titled “Is Song Mino a Celestial Being? I Visited His Workplace Where He Reportedly Drives a Supercar to Work.”

In the video, Lee Jin-ho begins by discussing Song Mino‘s distinctive long hair. He points out that the regulatory standards for public service personnel have evolved. Previously, strict guidelines mandated that hairstyles should not cover eyebrows, ears, or shirt collars, and prohibited excessive modifications that might be deemed displeasing. The current guidelines have softened, now merely stating that an individual’s appearance and attire must be “neat.” However, Lee notes that there exists a considerable gap between the “neat appearance” standard and Song Mino’s current look.

Diving deeper into the topic, Lee Jin-ho examines the so-called “invisible benefits” associated with Song Mino’s job reassignment.

He elaborates, stating, “Public service employees sometimes receive placements closer to their homes, which could explain why Song Mino’s initial assignment was at the Seoul Mapo Facility Management Corporation, situated just 2.1 kilometers away from his residence. However, in a surprising move earlier this year, his worksite changed to the Mapo Resident Convenience Facility, which is even nearer.”

Lee Jin-ho points out, “There is a provision for public service workers to request a reassignment, but this option isn’t readily available to everyone.” He further adds, “Reports indicate that Song Mino was initially considered unsuitable for public service, with recommendations for discharge. Nevertheless, he expressed a desire to fulfill his obligations, which led to his subsequent reassignment—allegedly due to difficulties with his initial supervisor and psychological stress he experienced.”

Highlighting this unusual circumstance, Lee Jin-ho notes, “The first workplace required a 22-minute commute via public transport, while the new location is just a single bus stop away, meaning it’s only a 14-minute walk from his home.”

Lee Jin-ho also drew attention to Song Mino’s parking privileges, saying, “Even though he resides merely 2 to 3 minutes away, Song Mino drives to work and parks at a facility that has only 26 parking spaces available — excluding spots designated for compact cars. Staff at the location have noted a persistent shortage of parking. However, he manages to arrive daily at 10 AM and find a parking spot. One must question: if he were an ordinary citizen rather than a celebrity, would he be able to secure a preferable worksite, enjoy such leniencies regarding his appearance, and dominate limited parking spaces for 7 to 8 hours each day?” Such discrepancies prompt significant inquiries into preferential treatment.”
