Did WINNER’s Mino “decide” to have social anxiety?
According to officials from the Mapo Community Welfare Facility, Mino’s medical leave was reportedly due to social anxiety, panic disorder and bipolar disorder. A public service personnel administrator told Dispatch, “Song Mino is afraid of crowded places,” explaining that “he was assigned to a position where he wouldn’t attract attention.”
However, photos obtained by Dispatch tell a different story. Mino was seen traveling to places like Goseong and Yangyang in Gangwon Province, enjoying camping trips and parties. In August 2023, he attended a DJ party at a popular café in Goseong while still working as part of the Mapo Facility Management Corporation’s parking business team.
His activities appeared far from reclusive. Throughout his service, he maintained long hair, often wore shorts and was seen shirtless at events. His tattoos were also on display: “Right Posture” on his left shoulder blade, “Clear Mind” on his right and “PLAY BOY” tattooed on his waist.

One party attendee told Dispatch, “Song Mino was drinking and smoking at the party, clearly enjoying himself.” There were no visible signs of social anxiety or panic disorder. His “selective social anxiety” seemed further questionable based on his hobbies. As his discharge approached, Mino was reportedly running in public with a group of people to get in shape.
A member of the running group shared, “We’ve been running marathons together as a group. Recently, he even completed a 20km run and has lost a lot of weight.” According to welfare facility staff, “Song Mino has been working on losing weight through running and building muscle with personal training.”
Meanwhile, Mino is under police investigation after being formally booked on allegations of neglecting his duties as a public service worker. The police are expected to look into the claims by reviewing CCTV footage, entry and exit logs, gaming activity records, mobile location data and testimony from facility staff.
