Dispatch Accuses Song Mino (Winner) Of Neglecting Duties During Military Service, Receiving Special Treatment From Superiors
🔻 According to Dispatch’s investigation:
① Song Mino was transferred to the Mapo Residential Convenience Facility in March 2024.
② Mr. L, Song Mino’s superior, brought Song Mino along after being assigned to this facility.
③ Since his appointment in March, Song Mino has allegedly failed to attend work consistently. Dispatch verified Song Mino’s work attitude by visiting the facility over 10 times between November and early December. However, Dispatch never saw Song Mino, not even once.
④ Occasionally, Song Mino would appear briefly, sign in for work, smoke a cigarette then disappear.
When Dispatch questioned Mr. L about Song Mino’s attendance, he refused to provide any records citing “privacy reasons”.
🔻 More seriously, Dispatch suspects a covert agreement between Song Mino and Mr. L:
Dispatch monitored the facility gate from 9 AM to 7 PM during the second week of November, yet Song Mino was not seen at all. Other staff also stated, “I’ve never seen him.”
When Dispatch checked Song Mino’s attendance, Mr. L repeatedly gave excuses like, “Today is a vacation day”, “Today is a sick day” and “He’s hospitalized today.”
🔻 On October 30, 2024, Song Mino reportedly went on a 5-night, 6-day vacation to Hawaii. According to Dispatch, Song Mino did not return to work even after the trip.
🔻 YG Entertainment responded, “Song Mino is working as normal.” When asked about the claim of “never having seen Song Mino at work”, YG stated, “We cannot confirm personal matters.”
On December 3, 4 and 9, Dispatch visited and talked with Mr. L to clarify this issue.
🔻 December 3:
Dispatch: “Does Song Mino work here? Did he come to work today?”
L: “Yes, he works here. Today he’s using up his remaining vacation days.”
Dispatch: “So, did he attend work in November?”
L: “Yes.”
Dispatch: “But when we checked, he wasn’t here.”
L: “He did come to work.”
Mr. L explained that December 3 was a vacation day, adding, “He has attended work fully up to this point. Mino received permission for his overseas trip, and today is an approved vacation day.”
🔻 December 4:
Dispatch: “Did Song Mino come to work today?”
L: “Oh! I received a call around 9 AM this morning. He said he was taking a sick day. He mentioned he’d take 3 days off starting today. He’ll probably return to work on Monday.”
Dispatch: “Since his house is nearby, does he walk to work?”
L: “No, he drives and parks in the underground garage. You probably don’t know, but he owns a lot of cars.”
Dispatch: “Yes, he really does have many cars.”
L: “Some are luxury cars, some are regular, and there’s a yellow one. He usually drives his ‘regular’ car to work.”
(Song Mino’s “regular” car is an Aston Martin. The luxury car is a Jeep Wrangler, and the yellow one is a Mercedes-Benz SLK.)
🔻 December 9:
Dispatch: “Hello, did Song Mino come to work today?”
L: “I received a call from his manager. He’s been hospitalized. He hasn’t been feeling well for a while, suffering from anxiety disorder and other issues. According to his medical records, there are many diagnoses.”
Dispatch: “Up to today, I still haven’t seen Song Mino. When was the last time he worked?”
L: “He worked on December 2.”
Dispatch: “Do you have any proof that he worked that day (December 2)?”
L: “Honestly, I’ll have to check to confirm if he worked. He doesn’t enter the office; if he’s in the nearby break room, I’ll check.”
Dispatch: “When do you usually check his attendance?”
L: “If I have no other tasks, I check in the morning. If I’m busy, I’ll check later.”
Dispatch: “If he’s in the break room, how can you confirm he worked?”
L: “Aside from stamping the attendance log, there’s no other record. I check, and if he doesn’t show up, I call him.
Dispatch: “So does that mean he has been absent without a valid reason?”
L: “That’s not the case. If he doesn’t show up, I call him. If he says ‘I’m sick and need to take sick leave’, I ask for a medical certificate. Sometimes, he also uses vacation days or sick leave like that.”
Dispatch: “Have you confirmed whether Song Mino was hospitalized today (December 9)?”
L: “I heard it from his manager. It’s difficult to verify his hospitalization.”
