Composer Yoon Il-sang looked back on singer Yoo Seung-jun's past actions and true intentions and made a cutting remark.
Recently, the YouTube channel "Producer Yoon Il-sang" uploaded a video titled "Yoo Seung-jun debut days + the late Seo Ji-won + baseball cheer song, the behind-the-scenes you like." That day, Yoon Il-sang spoke frankly, mentioning Yoo Seung-jun's debut period and the controversial draft evasion incident.
Yoon Il-sang recalled, "When we worked on Yoo Seung-jun's debut song "I love you, nuna," I was restricted from broadcast grants, and the title track was changed to "Scissors,"" and added, "On that stage Yoo Seung-jun's eyes, dance and performance were all overwhelming. His popularity then could be compared to G-Dragon today." He continued, "Even Michael Jackson praised his dancing, and the production company wanted to raise him as a global star."
However, Yoon Il-sang pointed out that Yoo Seung-jun's true intentions seemed to lie more in the United States than in Korea. He said, "Yoo Seung-jun aimed for west coast rap and seemed to regard Korea as a place of business. In the end, he seemed to consider the United States the place to return to. So he appears to have made a choice that is hard to understand."
He also said, "As he made promises in front of the public, if he could not keep them he should have apologized endlessly," and added, "An apology should continue until the other party accepts it. But Yoo Seung-jun seems not even to have begun a sincere apology." Still, he emphasized, "Personally, I do not hate Yoo Seung-jun. However, as the entertainer Yoo Seung-jun, he was clearly wrong. Anyone can make mistakes, but the attitude afterward is important."
Meanwhile, Yoo Seung-jun debuted in 1997 with his first album "West Side" and rose to the top star in an instant. However, in 2002 he obtained U.S. citizenship to avoid military service and renounced his nationality, and the Ministry of Justice imposed a ban on his entry. Since then he has not set foot on Korean soil for more than 20 years and has continued litigation over an entry visa until recently.
