Singer Yoo Seung-jun, who has been unable to enter Korea for more than 20 years amid allegations of dodging military service, revealed his recent situation, and comedian Kim Dae-beom expressed his regret.
On the 24th, Kim Dae-beom posted a captured photo of a news headline about Yoo Seung-jun appearing at singer Taejin-ah's concert on his social media.
Kim Dae-beom then wrote, "If this hyung had only gone to the military, he would be where Kim Jong Kook is now……" which drew attention. The post expressed regret that Yoo Seung-jun became unable to work in the domestic entertainment industry after being embroiled in allegations of dodging military service.
On the previous day, Yoo Seung-jun uploaded content titled "What happens when Yoo Seung-jun suddenly appears on Taejin-ah's stage. Reactions no one expected" on his personal channel. The video showed Yoo Seung-jun, who had been invited to Taejin-ah's performance held last year in Los Angeles, U.S.
Following Taejin-ah's introduction, Yoo Seung-jun greeted the audience from his seat that day. Afterwards, one audience member said to Yoo Seung-jun, "You still can't go to Korea? Every time I see it, my heart hurts so much," which also drew attention.
Yoo Seung-jun debuted as a singer in 1997 and was greatly loved after producing numerous hit songs, but became controversial after leaving the country in January 2002 after receiving a notice to report for alternative service and acquiring U.S. citizenship. Since then, his entry to Korea has been restricted amid allegations of evading military duty, and he is still engaged in a lawsuit with the Los Angeles consulate general.
