The group’s agency, YG Entertainment, said on the 7th, We will hold a WINNER concert in July,
and also added, We will present a high-quality performance with fans after 3 years and 3 months.
The agency also expressed its position regarding WINNER member Song Mino’s future, which has drawn attention in line with their upcoming comeback.
Specifically, YG said, This concert will be a three-member system (excluding Song Mino). We thought about it a lot. Nevertheless, for the fans who have waited for WINNER’s performance for a long time, we decided to hold the concert as scheduled according to the members’ firm will to meet their fans on stage.
my way of coping is imagining that the reason winner decided to do a concert instead of a comeback is because they still want to wait for mino pic.twitter.com/cDSppnxXKP

While serving as a social service worker at the Mapo Community Facilities in Seoul, Song Mino was embroiled in a controversy in December last year over allegations of poor service. He did not meet the number of days he went to work properly, and he was eventually investigated, adding to the testimony of his fellow service members, such as lying down and playing games while serving.
In this regard, the Mapo Police Station summoned Song Mino three times to investigate him. It is known that Song Mino eventually admitted to the charges of leaving his workplace after a series of investigations. The police are set to send Song Mino to the prosecution based on data obtained through the search and seizure of his residence and workplace.
I will wait for Winner as 4. But for now let’s look forward to their upcoming concert July. Winner will be on stage again after 3 years and 3 months as 3. 😭💙#WINNER #위너 #MINO #JINU #HOON #YOON pic.twitter.com/2MmauCFg9y

Moreover, WINNER has suspended its group activities since April 2022 with the members’ military service and brought the so-called “military white flag.” Last year, Kang Seungyoon and Song Mino were expected to return after completing their service, but Song Mino’s controversy over military service has put a brake on his return to the entire group.
