A representative from the National Police Agency stated on the morning of March 31 KST at a press briefing held at the agency's headquarters in Migeun-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, that Song Min Ho has largely admitted to allegations of neglect during his alternative military service, including leaving his post during work hours.
The police official stated, "We summoned the subject (Song Min Ho) for questioning three times, conducted searches and seizures, and carried out telecommunications investigations. We will determine whether there are grounds for charges based on the evidence collected."
The official further revealed that Song Min Ho "has largely admitted to leaving his post during work hours."
Song Min Ho is facing allegations that he neglected his duties during his time as a social service agent, including not properly reporting to work. He was discharged from his service on December 23 last year.
Korean netizens reacted:
"He'll be the second celebrity to serve in the military twice following Psy."
"He has what we call selective social anxiety, selective panic disorder, selective bipolar disorder... No symptoms at all when performing, filming variety shows like 'New Journey to the West,' or drinking and partying, but suddenly, only in the military... Hmm."
"Oh right, he had this issue before. Wow, it was buried."
"Yeah, mistakes can happen. He can just re-enlist as an active-duty soldier. Just don’t come back to TV after discharge."
"Goodbye. Let’s never see you on TV or hear your songs again."
"Yeah, I don't want to see him again."
