WINNER’s July Concert Without Song Min-ho: Details and Controversy Explained

WINNER Announces July Concert Without Song Min-ho: Everything International Fans Need to Know

WINNER’s Comeback Concert in July 2025

K-pop boy band WINNER will hold their first solo concert in over three years this July. This special event marks a long-awaited reunion with fans, but Song Min-ho (Mino) will not participate in the show[1][3][6].

  • Date: July 2025 (exact dates TBA)
  • Members Performing: Kang Seung-yoon, Kim Jin-woo, Lee Seung-hoon
  • Location: Details to be announced soon
“It wasn’t an easy decision, but for the fans who have waited so long, and because the members strongly wished to meet their fans, the concert will go on as planned.”
- YG Entertainment[3][6]

Why Is Song Min-ho Not Joining the Concert?

Song Min-ho is currently facing allegations regarding his mandatory military service. He completed his alternative service as a social service worker from March 2023 to December 2024, but was accused of neglecting his duties, including frequent absences and not showing up for work. These allegations led to a formal police investigation for violating the Military Service Act[2][3][4][6].

  • Song Min-ho was officially discharged in December 2024[2][4]
  • Accused of being absent from work and using extended sick leave
  • Formally booked by police for alleged violation of the Military Service Act[4][6]
  • Ongoing investigation could affect his discharge status
  • No scheduled public activities after his discharge, according to YG Entertainment[2]
Summary: Song Min-ho’s absence is due to an ongoing police investigation into his military service, not due to group activities or scheduling.

What Fans Can Expect From the Concert

Despite the controversy, WINNER’s three members are determined to deliver a memorable stage for their fans. This concert is especially meaningful as it is their first group performance since April 2022[3][5][6].

  • First WINNER concert in over three years
  • High-quality performances and special stages
  • Emotional reunion with fans, celebrating WINNER’s journey
“We hope for warm support from fans, as this was not an easy decision for the group.”
- YG Entertainment[6]
