Mino of WINNER, otherwise known by his real name Song Min-ho, attended his younger sister's wedding in the United States after obtaining a leave of absence from his alternative military service duties.
Mino's sister Song Dan-ah shared photos from her recent wedding on social media, where Mino can be seen holding her hand and walking down the aisle in place of their late father who passed away last year.
The rapper caught the attention of many onlookers with his beige suit and long, wavy hair grown at shoulder length.
According to his agency, Mino, who has been working as a social service agent as part of his alternative military service obligations, was granted a special leave to attend his sister's wedding in the United States.
Mino began his alternative service two months ago but has not yet reported to boot camp for training, which may explain why he is still sporting long hair.
Song Dan-ah is also a K-pop artist in her own right, having debuted as a member of New.F.O in 2011. She also starred in the variety show "Office Romance" on Coupang Play last year.
Mino had earlier mentioned his sister during his appearance on MBC's "DNA Mate" last year, saying "I talk to my younger sister a lot and I also give her advice when it comes to work. My sister is a nagger and she craves my attention. She's happy as long as I'm talking to her."
