According to the legal community yesterday (30th), the Seoul Western District Court Criminal Division 10 (Judge Song Jun-kyu) will hold the first trial for Son Minho, who is suspected of violating the Military Service Act, and Mr. A, the head of the Mapo residents' benefit facility, on March 24. The Seoul Western District Prosecutor's Office indicted Son Minho at home on December 30 last year on suspicion of violating the Military Service Act. Mr. A, who is suspected of assisting Son Minho's service neglect, is also being tried. Son Minho served as a social service worker from March 2023 to December 2024.
