[헤럴드경제=박혜림 기자] “I am the devil’s editing victim!… I never went to the army!”
Singer Yoo Seung-jun (Steve Yu), who was restricted from entering Korea due to military service avoidance, again appealed for’regret’ on YouTube. The public’s gaze is not good with repeated anger and appeal.
Yoo Seung-joon repeatedly emphasized that he was a victim of’devil’s editing’, and that the reporter’s expanded interpretation of the answer he gave without thinking was the’starting point’ of the case.
Still, he said, “As a person loved by the public, I had to keep my promise (to go to the military), but before I was a celebrity, I was a human being.” “I chose my family over the promise with you.”
On the 29th, Yoo Seung-jun announced another position on the controversy about evading military service obligations through YouTube.
Earlier, Yoo Seung-joon posted a video that reveals his feelings for the first time last month when Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Byeong-ju proposed the ‘5 Prevention Act’. This video is already the ninth’clarification’ video, following the criticism of the Ministry of Justice and the summary of the controversy surrounding him. While criticizing the Korean government’s arguments, a petition from the Blue House to punish Yoo Seung-jun for defamation of the country also appeared.
Yoo Seung-joon, who said that reporter A was waiting for him in the parking lot at the time, said, “Seung-joon, you’re over 20 years old, so you should go to the army.” He claimed that the next day, based on this conversation, an article of his decision to enlist in the military came out.
“This reporter just replied,’Yes, that would be okay’ because you have short hair and are healthy, so if you go to the military, you can go to the Marines.” Based on this, an article came out saying that he would join volunteers after being shocked by the ‘1st West Sea Battle that took place in the waters near Yeonpyeong Island in June 1999’.
Yoo Seung-jun said, “Why I held a press conference at that time and said that I had not made a decision to join the military yet, and that I had not made a decision to give up my green card, I am most regretful.” He couldn’t hold a press conference on the image of the’right young man’ that fans think.
Meanwhile, the period for exemption from military service was reduced from 1 year to 60 days. Yoo Seung-jun said, “Because I am a permanent resident, I stayed in Korea and received a physical examination even though I was exempted from military service when leaving the country within 60 days.” He stressed that this is proof that he was deciding to join the military at the time.
Yoo Seung-jun also said, “It takes 10 years as little as 10 years and 13 years as long as it takes to obtain a green card,” he said. .
Seung-jun Yoo continued, “Before I was a celebrity, I was a human too, so I chose my family over the promise with you.” “The reason why my son was successful in Korea and decided to go to the military to keep his promises It was enough to think about my father’s position,” he added. He also said that he would have gone to the military if there was an application system for enlistment wishes even when he was active.
On the other hand, the ‘5 Acts Against Seung-Jun Yoo’ initiated by Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Byeong-ju refers to’five bills to prevent evasion of military service through nationality change’ (Nationality Act, Immigration Control Act, Overseas Koreans Act, National Public Service Act, Local Public Service Act Amendment). It is a bill that prohibits some citizens who have not fulfilled their military service obligations from entering the country. If the bill is passed, Seung-jun Yoo is virtually impossible to enter Korea.
