Song Mino of the group Winner is known to have been classified as exempt from basic military education.

On May 30, his agency YG Entertainment said, "Song Mino was screened by the Military Manpower Administration and classified as an exemption from basic military education".

Song Mino has been serving as an alternative social worker since March 24. Meanwhile, Song Mino drew attention by attending the wedding of his younger sister Song Dan-ah in San Francisco on May 29 (local time).

In response, the agency said, "Song Mino left through formal procedures to attend his younger sister Song Dan-ah's wedding".

What drew attention was Song Mino's long hair. It was reported that he had entered military service since March 24, but he kept his long hair, which raised doubts. In response, it was belatedly reported that Song Mino was serving as a social service worker without receiving basic military training.
