On December 19, the overseer of the Mapo Resident Convenience Facility, where Song Mino serves as a public service worker, provided insights into the singer’s health. The official stated, “He’s unable to carry out normal activities. His body is heavily subdued, almost as if under the influence of medication, and there are cycles where his symptoms worsen. March and April were challenging, with October through December being especially critical.”
Background on Song Mino’s Health Issues
Song Mino has been candid about his battles with panic disorder and bipolar disorder, which led to him being categorized as a Grade 4 reservist. Consequently, he has been assigned to alternative service as a public service worker. However, his situation has drawn increased scrutiny in light of recent developments.
Public Concerns Amid Health Claims
Despite the official’s remarks, public skepticism has surged. Notably, it came to light that Song Mino took a six-day trip to Hawaii in October, raising questions about the severity of his claimed condition during that time. These revelations stand in stark contrast to the assertion that his mental health issues significantly deteriorated in October.
Contradictions in Recent Activities
Further fueling the controversy, critics point to Song Mino’s active engagement in the entertainment industry prior to his enlistment. He released albums, held concerts, and participated in popular shows like “New Journey to the West.” Observers argue that if his condition was indeed as severe during the months of March through April and October through December, it would not have permitted him to take part in these projects, creating a contradiction regarding his health status.
Rumors and Investigations
Compounding the situation, rumors of a two-year relationship with actress Park Ju-hyun, beginning in 2022, have surfaced, adding another layer to the public discourse surrounding Song Mino.
Investigative Efforts
In response to the growing controversy, both the Military Manpower Administration and local police have initiated investigations. A representative confirmed that officials from the Military Manpower Administration visited the facility to gather relevant evidence, including CCTV footage and attendance logs. Additionally, the police have requested that the footage be preserved for further review. Song Mino has been directed to submit documentation to clarify allegations concerning negligence and falsification of attendance records.
Current Status
As of now, Song Mino is on medical leave, with his discharge from service scheduled for December 23.
