Singer Park Yoo-chun, formerly of TVXQ and who halted activities in Korea over drug use and delinquent taxes controversies, revealed that he is currently active in Japan.
Tokyo MX, an independent Japanese broadcaster, will air a documentary about Park Yoo-chun titled "An unfinished story" on the 20th. The program covers the fervor of his 2025 fan concert and the process in which Park pondered repeatedly and stood back up.
Recently, videos and photos from Park Yoo-chun's fan concert in Japan were posted on an online community. Fans, comparing him to his TVXQ days, said his dance lines were fine but his vocals were somewhat lacking. Internet users poured out harsh comments such as "There is no longer Micky Yoochun," "He took the passage of time head-on," and "The styling is the problem."
In 2019, Park Yoo-chun received a sentence of 10 months in prison, suspended for two years, on charges of using methamphetamine. At the time, he denied the allegations and announced his retirement, but later resumed his activities. In Dec. 2023, it was also revealed that he was delinquent on taxes totaling 4.09 billion won.
Park Yoo-chun is currently active in Japan, releasing a new album, "Metro Love." Recently on social media (SNS), he wrote, "For the first time, I am truly running for myself. So please believe in me."
