Singer Yu Seung-jun made a surprise appearance at Tae Jin-ah's concert.
On the 23rd, Yu Seung-jun posted a video on his official YouTube channel, Yu Seung-jun, titled "What happens when Yu Seung-jun suddenly shows up on Tae Jin-ah's stage" and "A reaction no one expected."
In Apr. last year, Yu Seung-jun visited Tae Jin-ah's solo concert held at Yaamava' Resort in California. On stage that day, Tae Jin-ah said, "This is a singer who lives in LA," and introduced him by saying, "Our Yu Seung-jun is here." Yu Seung-jun then stood up, bowed 90 degrees to the audience, and greeted them. The middle-aged and older audience members at the venue responded with applause.
In particular, audience members seated nearby patted Yu Seung-jun on the shoulder and offered words of encouragement, and one elderly fan expressed regret, asking, "Can't you still go to Korea?" Overcome by the unexpected welcome, Yu Seung-jun could not hold back tears.
Debuting in 1997 with "Scissors," Yu Seung-jun later made his name with hits such as "Na Na Na" and "Passion." However, ahead of his military enlistment in 2002, he obtained U.S. citizenship, sparking controversy over draft evasion, and received an entry ban from the Ministry of Justice.
Since then, Yu Seung-jun has been in a prolonged legal battle with the government over the issuance of an overseas Korean (F-4) visa. Although he won twice at the Supreme Court, the LA Consulate General refused to issue the visa, and the appellate trial in the third lawsuit seeking to overturn the visa denial is underway.
