Group WINNER will hold a concert excluding member Mino, who is facing "improper service" allegations as a public service worker.

Their agency YG Entertainment made a statement on the 7th, saying, "We sincerely thank all the fans who have supported WINNER with unchanging love and patience for a long time."

Furthermore, they revealed, "YG Entertainment plans to hold a WINNER concert in July, approximately 3 years and 3 months since their last. As it is an opportunity to meet fans after 3 years and a performance to commemorate WINNER's comeback, our company completed the venue rental quite a while ago and has been preparing thoroughly for a high-quality stage."

They also conveyed, "However, it is also true that there were many concerns about whether to proceed with this performance. Nevertheless, for all the fans who have waited for WINNER's stage for a long time, and reflecting the members' strong desire to meet their fans, we decided to proceed with the concert as scheduled."

In addition, they added, "This performance will feature three members: Kang Seungyoon, Kim Jinwoo, and Lee Seunghoon. As this was not an easy decision, we ask for the warm support and encouragement of all our fans."

Meanwhile, Mino entered the army training center on March 24, 2023, and after receiving basic military training, continued his alternative service as a public service worker. He was discharged from service on December 23 last year after completing his alternative service at a resident welfare facility in Mapo, Seoul. However, in December last year, allegations of improper service were raised through a media outlet, leading to rumors.
