Yoo Seung-jun has declared his return to YouTube but has once again come under fire for his unrestrained remarks.
On the 17th, a video titled "Yoo Seung-jun comeback? BREAKING NEWS! Yoo Seung-jun aka YSJ has returned?" was released on Yoo Seung-jun's YouTube channel. He announced his return to YouTube after four years, saying, "How have you been all this time? It's been so long since I've greeted you. In the future, I intend to share and communicate the small parts of my life with you through YouTube."
In the teaser video, he showcases his two handsome sons who resemble him and twin daughters resembling the character "Moana", boasting about his relaxed life in America. He also introduces his wife, who has been by his side since their dating days, capturing family moments on camera. In front of the sea, he playfully asks his son, "Buy me a house here, Dad."
However, the comments were relentless. It seems Yoo Seung-jun has a lot built up inside, as he shouted at the camera, "You don't even know me, so why should I know you? Who are you to judge? Have you kept every promise you made?" He appeared frustrated about his ongoing situation of being barred from entering Korea for 23 years due to his violation of military service laws, venting half-jokingly and half-seriously.
In particular, he expressed a unique ambition, stating, "I started with nothing and have come this far. When I look back, I wonder if I've really lost anything. Just surviving until now is a miracle. I can't just give up because I still have dreams and passions that haven't faded. Life is too short to do that."
However, Yoo Seung-jun's remarks have sparked a backlash. While the daily lives of his lovely children were enough to elicit smiles from mothers, many felt discomfort with Yoo Seung-jun's statements.
Ultimately, the video received overwhelming criticism in the comments section, with remarks such as, "It's not that you broke your promise, you defrauded the country," and "What kind of promise is related to defense obligations? You still think so lightly of it," and "A promise is 'let's have a meal together sometime' and 'going to the military on enlistment day' is a duty of military service," and "It seems you don't know the difference between a promise and an obligation."
Yoo Seung-jun debuted as a singer in 1997, achieving a syndrome-level popularity as a multi-artist excelling in visuals, talent, and entertainment. However, after obtaining U.S. citizenship while departing for overseas performances in 2002, he lost his Korean nationality and became embroiled in a military service evasion controversy. Since then, he has been barred from entering Korea for 23 years, and he is currently involved in his third lawsuit regarding the cancellation of visa refusal.
