News of Song Mino’s exclusion from basic military training has emerged as he attended his younger sister’s wedding. The reason for this exclusion has not been revealed, but netizens speculate that it may be related to Song Mino’s previous confession about his panic disorder and bipolar disorder.
On the 28th (local time), Song Mino attended his sister Song Dana’s wedding in San Francisco, USA. In photos captured by acquaintances and shared publicly, Song Mino held Song Dana’s hand, walking down the aisle in place of their father.
Following this, netizens engaged in heated discussions about Song Mino’s trip to the US while serving as a social service worker. In particular, his unconventional hairstyle raised questions. Some argued that his hairstyle would have been impossible if he had gone through basic military training.
YG Entertainment, his agency, stated on the 29th to ExpoSports News, “It is true that Song Mino has left the country after going through the proper procedures. He has been classified as exempted from basic military training after undergoing evaluation by the Military Manpower Administration.”
According to the explanation, Song Mino received a congratulatory leave as a social service worker and traveled to the US, and his hairstyle was permitted as he was excluded from basic military training.
The reason for Song Mino’s exclusion from basic military training has not been disclosed. However, under the Military Service Act, individuals with conditions such as depression or mental illnesses that receive a grade 4 supplementary reserve judgment or are deemed unsuitable for training due to physical ailments are exempted from basic military training. Based on this, netizens speculate about the reasons for Song Mino’s exclusion.
Previously, Song Mino appeared on Channel A’s “Dr. Oh’s Golden Clinic” with Oh Eun-young and opened up about his panic disorder and bipolar disorder. Starting from the end of 2017, Song Mino began visiting hospitals, confessing, “I ended up going to the hospital before collapsing and dying.” Particularly, Song Mino expressed his sorrow as the symptoms began after he achieved success through variety shows like “New Journey to the West” and “Kang’s Kitchen,” as well as his solo song “Fiancé.”
At the time, Song Mino shared his severe pain, saying, “Even ordinary daily activities like watching TV or eating can be difficult at times,” and “When talking to a friend and hearing that they finished work and are going to watch a movie, I wonder how that’s even possible.”
Meanwhile, Song Dana, Mino’s younger sister, debuted as a member of the girl group New F.O. and recently appeared in the Coupang Play original series “Office Romance.”
