Regarding the suspicion of WINNER's Son Mino's violation of military service law, the service manager A, who was put on trial, denied the conspiracy allegations. On the 21st, a trial was held at the Seoul Western District Court Criminal Division 10 regarding A, who is suspected of violating military service law. A was indicted for allegedly processing false attendance records while serving as Son Mino's social service agent. On this day, while A's side acknowledged that there were some issues in the attendance processing, they revealed their position that they did not conspire with Son Mino to create false commuting records or divide roles to commit the crime. Additionally, A's side expressed a desire to request Son Mino as a witness to the court. The court stated that after the application was accepted, it would consider its adoption. The next trial is scheduled for July 14. Son Mino is suspected of habitual absenteeism without permission during his service period from March 2023 to December 2024 at the Mapo District Facility Management Corporation and resident benefit facilities. The Seoul Western District Prosecutor's Office stated in the indictment that Son Mino was absent without permission for a total of 102 days and left service without a valid reason. The prosecution has determined that Son Mino did not perform substantial service. They particularly believe that false attendance records were created to conceal the unauthorized absences and are seeking a sentence of 1 year and 6 months in prison for Son Mino. A's side continues to deny any facts of conspiracy with Son Mino in this trial following the initial hearing.
