Popular YG Group Is Holding First Concert In 3 Years But One Member Is Not Joining, Here Is Why
The group WINNER will hold a concert without member Song Mino!
On the 7th of May, their agency, YG Entertainment, announced the news via an official statement. They explained that Mino will not be joining the concert after much deliberation.
The performance will feature three members—Kang Seung Yoon, Kim Jin Woo, and Lee Seung Hoon. YG Entertainment concluded, “As this was not an easy decision, we ask for your warm support and encouragement.”
Previously, Song Mino began his service as a social service worker in a community facility in Mapo-gu, Seoul, in March 2023 and was discharged on December 23 last year. However, about a week before his discharge, accusations emerged claiming that he had failed to keep his working hours properly and even did not show up for work.

Full Statement from YG Entertainment
Hello, this is YG Entertainment.
First of all, we would like to sincerely thank the fans who have supported WINNER with unchanging love and patience over the years.
YG Entertainment is planning to hold a WINNER concert in July 2025, approximately 3 years and 3 months since the last one. As it is the first time in years that the group will meet fans and a performance commemorating WINNER’s comeback, we secured a venue early and have been preparing to deliver a high-quality stage.
That said, it is true that there was considerable internal discussion over whether to proceed with this performance. Nevertheless, for the fans who have been waiting for WINNER’s stage for so long, and in reflection of the strong will of the members to meet their fans, we have decided to carry on with the concert as scheduled.
This performance will feature Kang Seung Yoon, Kim Jin Woo, and Lee Seung Hoon. As this was not an easy decision, we kindly ask for your warm support and encouragement. Further details about the concert will be announced in a separate notice. Thank you.
