WINNER member Mino (also known as Song Min Ho) currently looks unrecognizable!
Last year, Mino enlisted as a social service worker for his mandatory military service. Before he enlisted, he was known for his short bleached hairstyle.
Song Mino will begin his military service as a social service worker on March 24. There will be no separate on-site events to prevent any accidents caused by the congestion that would take place.
We ask for your encouragement so that Mino can fulfill his national defense obligations and return healthy.

Since enlisting, fans have received rare updates regarding Mino. Yet, thanks to Kim Yong Jin, we finally saw Mino after a while!
Kim Yong Jin shared several photos with the WINNER member. Mino was rocking a long, wavy, two-toned hairstyle and facial hair. It was unlike any style we had seen him with before.
Previously, Mino was seen with long dark hair at his sister’s wedding. He was initially criticized because new recruitments, even those who serve as civil servants, need to undergo mandatory basic training, where they are required to shave their heads. So, YG Entertainment quickly released a statement addressing the controversy and defending the artist. According to YG Entertainment, the idol was exempt from undergoing basic training after being examined by the military.
