Kang Seung-yoon of the group Winner will be discharged today (19th).
Kang Seung-yoon enlisted in the Army as an active duty soldier in June 2023 and will complete his military service today. He is the only member of Winner who enlisted as an active duty soldier.
Kang Seung-yoon gained attention for his diligent and exemplary military service. He received recognition as an outstanding trainee, won awards in reading reports and writing contests, and achieved early promotion to Corporal.
Additionally, when news of damage from heavy rainfall was reported last July, he was one of the first celebrities to donate 10 million won to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association, demonstrating his positive influence.
Kang Seung-yoon's discharge is receiving more attention as fellow member Song Min-ho is under suspicion of inadequate service as a social service worker.
Dispatch reported on the 17th that Song Min-ho did not properly report to the Mapo Community Benefit Facility where he is serving as a social service worker, raising allegations of inadequate service. In response, his agency YG Entertainment clarified, "The reason for his sick leave is an extension of treatment he was receiving before his service, and all other leaves were used in accordance with regulations."
However, the Military Manpower Administration has begun an investigation to verify the facts, and a complaint has been filed with the police requesting an investigation into Song Min-ho's alleged violation of military service laws, which has been assigned to the Mapo Police Station.
Meanwhile, Kang Seung-yoon gained recognition by participating in the Mnet audition program 'Superstar K2' aired in 2010. He debuted in 2013 as a member of Winner and has been loved for hit songs such as 'Really Really', 'Love Me Love Me', and 'Everyday'.
