Steve Seung-joon, a Korean-American singer, 45, who has been denied entry to Korea due to the issue of evading military service after promising to fulfill his military service obligations, said he would clarify the controversy surrounding him. Up to 5 days, 4 videos were reprocessed and released.
Yoo uploaded 4 videos in the series called’Yoo Seung-Jun Fact Check Summary’ on her YouTube channel’Yoo Seung-Jun Official Yoo Seung Jun OFFICIAL’. On the 19th of last month, Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Byeong-ju (former vice-commander of the ROK-US Combined Forces Command) opposed the proposal of the’Yoo Seung-joon Prevention Act’ to prevent evasion of military service through change of nationality. This is the 6th related video after uploading a 39 minute 14 second video titled “Isn’t there anything politicians who work with the people’s taxes to do that?”
Yoo said, “I hope it will be an opportunity to find out the nature of the issue (through video),” while reediting the previous video.
He then ordered, “If you pray, please pray for President Donald Trump and the United States, a leader in liberal democracy.” He added, “We must pray for President Trump, who is fighting a lonely fight, to make wise and correct decisions in his final term. It will not be easy, but he must fight from the side of justice to the end.”
Mr. Yoo criticized that Vice President Mike Pence betrayed him and said, “If we just quit like Judas, we will face a really miserable end.” It is interpreted as criticism of Vice President Mike Pence’s finalizing the congressional certification process to confirm the victory of US President-elect Joe Biden at the US Senate and House meetings earlier.
Earlier, Mr. Yoo said, “Acquiring (US) citizenship is considered to evade military service, so the government unilaterally intervened and banned the entry of an individual from entering the country for the end of 19 years without considering the fair judgment of the law or due process. “Is this treatment really fair and just?”
He argued that it was not illegal to obtain his U.S. citizenship or to fail to obey his defense obligations. Mr. Yoo said, “Article 86 of the Military Service Act (fleeing, bodily injury, etc.) stipulated that a person who flees or hides for the purpose of evading or receiving a reduction or exemption from military service would be punished by imprisonment for not less than 1 year and not more than 3 years. A civic group wanted to punish Yoo Seung-jun for violating the Military Service Act, but the court came out as’no charge’,” he protested.
However, Mr. Yoo did not add an explanation on whether the Korean military service law applies to himself as an American.
He also argued that “becoming a Korean (Korean nationality) after entering Korea is not essential, and’if the only way to enter Korea is to become a Korean, then I will do that’, it is not for tax exemption.” did.
“The decision to ban entry is made by the Ministry of Justice, and why are you acting like a sloppy spectator who avoids responsibility behind the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Military Manpower,” said Yu. He also added a remark aimed at the son of Minister Chu, who was suspicious of returning to leave while serving in the military, saying, “Please tell me what Minister Chu Mi-ae said.
Yoo said, “Under the Immigration Control Act, foreigners who are threatened by Korea’s public safety and security are prohibited from entering the country. Am I the same person as a red spy, Kim Jong-eun (North Korean Defense Commissioner), and Kim Yeo-jeong (first vice president of the Korean Workers’ Party).” He asked, “Isn’t it the daughter of former Justice Minister Cho Kook, the son of Choo, and the son of President Moon Jae-in, Moon Jun-yong?”
In the first video, Mr. Yoo revealed his feelings, saying, “I turn the anger of the people over on a celebrity and turn their eyes.”
The so-called’Yoo Seung-joon Prevention 5 Act’ refers to amendments to the Nationality Act, Overseas Koreans Act, Immigration Control Act, National Public Officials Act, and Local Public Officials Act.The main purpose is to prevent nationality recovery and entry and visa issuance for those who have given up Korean nationality for the purpose of evading military service. have.
After the release of the Yu’s video, Rep. Kim pointed out that “Abandoning the duty of military service does not violate the promises with fans, but violate the Korean Constitution.” He pointed out that “Yoo is still not able to properly grasp the essence of this problem.”
