Singer Yoo Seung-jun (Steve Yoo) has revealed his children and wife while announcing his return to YouTube.
On the 17th, a video titled "Yoo Seung-jun comeback? BREAKING NEWS! Yoo Seung Jun aka YSJ has returned?" was posted on Yoo Seung-jun's YouTube channel. Yoo Seung-jun said, "It has been such a long time since I greeted everyone. I would like to share small parts of my life and communicate through YouTube."
In the video, Yoo Seung-jun revealed his four children and wife, who live with him in the United States. His son joked, "We surf in Malibu and Huntington Beach, and at night we perform," adding, "Dad, please buy a house here," eliciting laughter. His twin daughters, resembling characters from the Disney animation "Moana," and his wife, who has been by his side since their dating days, also appeared in front of the camera.
However, Yoo Seung-jun did not stop at simply revealing his recent situation. He expressed anger, saying, "Who are you to make judgments? Does everyone keep their promises?" He went on, "I started from nothing and have come this far. I think it's a miracle that I've held on until now. There are still dreams and passions that have not extinguished. Life is too short," declaring his determination not to give up.
Yoo Seung-jun debuted as a singer in 1997, but became embroiled in a military service evasion controversy after acquiring U.S. citizenship in 2002, and has been banned from entering Korea for 23 years. Despite winning lawsuits to cancel the denial of visa issuance twice, he ultimately has not received a visa and is currently pursuing a third lawsuit.
Recently, some fans submitted a statement to President Lee Jae-myung requesting a special pardon for Liberation Day, but Yoo Seung-jun expressed discomfort, saying, "I have never wanted a pardon and I don't even know who submitted it," adding, "I just wanted to enter the country to restore my honor."
Amid a 23-year-long ban on entering the country, Yoo Seung-jun's return to YouTube, coupled with the reveal of his family, is drawing renewed interest.
