Singer Steve Seung-jun Yoo (45, Korean name Seung-joon Yoo), who was restricted from entering the country due to problems such as obtaining US citizenship before enlisting in the military, and avoiding military service, argued that he was “not an evader of military service, but an exemption from military service.”
He then complained to the Ministry of Justice, “We are stern witch hunting, human rights abuse, human rights suppression,” and “The government, especially the Ministry of Justice, apologize and take responsibility for violating and violating human rights for a long time.”
On the 31st of last month, Yoo shared on her YouTube channel’Yoo Seung Jun OFFICIAL’,’Why does the Ministry of Justice only watch? I uploaded a 1 hour 22 minute 53 second video titled’The unfamiliar face of the press, the tyranny of the no-concept of killing people with a finger (expression of degrading reporters and garbage), and all rumors surrounding Yoo Seung-jun.
Earlier, when Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Byeong-ju (former vice-commander of the ROK-US Combined Forces Command) proposed the’Yoo Seung-joon Prevention Act’ to prevent evasion of military service through change of nationality,’Are you kidding? It is a sequel to the 39 minute 14 second video titled’Is there nothing to do with politicians who work with the people’s taxes?’
In the video, Mr. Yoo said, “Acquiring (US) citizenship is considered to evade military service, so the government unilaterally intervenes without considering the impartial judgment or due process of the law and prohibits the entry of an individual from entering the country for 19 years. He said. “Is this treatment really fair and just?”
He said it was not illegal to obtain his U.S. citizenship or to fail to obey his defense obligations. “At that time, 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 shall 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 said, “It is not essential to become a Korean (Korean nationality) after entering Korea, and’If the only way to enter Korea is to become a Korean, I will do that’ (what he said) is (in the United States) for tax exemption. It is not,” he insisted.
Yoo said, “The decision to ban entry was made by the Ministry of Justice, and why does the Ministry of Justice act like a sloppy spectator who evades responsibility behind the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Military Manpower Administration.” He said, “Please tell me what Minister Chu Mi-ae (Ministry of Justice) said. Are you uncomfortable with your son’s work?” He also made a remark aimed at the son of Minister Chu, who was suspicious of returning to leave while serving in the military.
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).” “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, too?”
On the 19th, Yoo Seung-jun also revealed his feelings, saying, “I turn my eyes off by putting people’s anger on a celebrity.”
The so-called’Yoo Seung-jun 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, and is aimed at preventing the restoration of nationality and entry and visa issuance of persons who have given up Korean citizenship for the purpose of evading military service. Are doing.
After the release of Mr. Yoo’s video, Rep. Kim pointed out that “Abandoning the duty of military service does not violate the promise with fans, but violate the Korean Constitution.” He added that “Yoo is still not able to properly grasp the essence of this problem.”
