The group Winner will hold a concert for the first time in 3 years and 3 months. Song Minho, who is under investigation for violating military service laws, will not attend.
On the 7th, YG Entertainment announced, "We plan to hold a Winner concert in July 2025, marking approximately 3 years and 3 months since the last one."
They added, "This is a significant event where we meet our fans after 3 years, and since it is a performance to celebrate Winner's comeback, we have been preparing thoroughly for a high-quality stage since securing the venue a long time ago."
YG also mentioned, "It is true that there were many concerns regarding the decision to hold this concert," but stated, "Nevertheless, we decided to proceed with the concert as scheduled for the fans who have been waiting for Winner's stage for a long time, and to reflect the strong desire of the members to meet their fans."
They continued, "This performance will feature the three members Kang Seung-yoon, Kim Jin-woo, and Lee Seung-hoon on stage together. It was not an easy decision, so we ask for the warm support and encouragement from our fans."
Song Minho is under suspicion of insufficient service. He has been serving as a social service worker since March 2023 and is reported to have violated military service laws by not properly attending his assigned workplace. In December of last year, the Mapo Police in Seoul filed charges against Song Minho for violating military service laws. In March, the police stated, "(Song Minho) generally acknowledged the part where he left the workplace during working hours."
