Singer Yoo Seung-joon (Steve Yu), who was restricted from entering Korea due to military service avoidance, appealed for’unhappy’ again. Through his YouTube channel.
On the 29th, Yoo Seung-jun said on YouTube that he was a victim of’devil’s editing’ in connection with the controversy about evading military service obligations. He repeatedly emphasized that the reporter’s expanded interpretation of the answer he gave without thinking was the’starting point’ of the incident.
He said, “As a person loved by the public, I had to keep my promise (to go to the army), but before I was a celebrity, I was a human being. I chose my family over the promise with you.”
“The reporter A, who was waiting at the parking lot at the time, said,’Seungjun, you’re over 20 years old, so you should go to the army.’ The next day, based on this dialogue, an article about the decision to join the military came out.”
Yoo Seung-jun said, “I regret 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.”
“At that time, I had to wait for 10 years to give up my permanent residency and get my US permanent residency again after serving in the military.” “Before I was an celebrity, I chose my family because I was a human being. He added that the father’s heart that dried up his son’s success in Korea and that he would go to the military (now I think about his position) is fully understood.”
Earlier, Yoo Seung-joon uploaded a video to reveal his feelings for the first time last month when a Democratic Party member Kim Byung-ju proposed the ‘5 Prevention Act’. This is the 9th’Explain’ video.
The’Yoo Seung-jun Prevention 5 Act’ refers to ‘5 bills to prevent evasion of military service through change of nationality’ (Nationality Act, Immigration Control Act, Overseas Koreans Act, National Public Officials Act, Local Public Officials Act amendments). This is a bill prohibiting the entry of some citizens who have not fulfilled their military service obligations. If the bill is passed, Seung-jun Yoo will be unable to enter Korea.
