 Yoo Seung-joon, avoiding military service, is so popular. Why do you want to come



Yoo Seung-joon, a former singer who caused a stir over the controversy over his avoidance of military service, announced his recent status.

Yoo Seung-joon posted a picture on the 13th, saying, `My big brother.' In the released photo, Yoo Seung-joon is seen smiling brightly with action star Jackie Chan with his arms around his shoulders affectionately.

Yoo worked with Jackie Chan in the 2010 film `The Great Sgt. In 2015, he said, "My brother Chan said he would help me with my dream of freely working in China and spreading all over the world, so I have a relationship with JC Group in China. There is also a team dedicated to me."




In 2002, Yoo Seung-joon was banned from entering the country by giving up his Korean nationality and obtaining U.S. citizenship while he was about to serve as an alternative service worker. However, Yoo applied for a visa to the Consulate General in LA in 2015 when the deadline for joining the military was over. The Consulate General of LA decided to 'reject' for visa applications that guarantee all rights, including for-profit activities, but Yoo Seung-joon filed a lawsuit to cancel the denial of visa issuance.

The Supreme Court finally ruled in favor of Yoo Seung-joon. However, the Ministry of Justice decided to maintain the entry ban, saying Yoo Seung-joon's actions since July 2, 2020, could harm South Korea's interests, including security, maintenance of order, public welfare and diplomatic relations. Accordingly, the Consulate General of LA once again notified Yoo Seung-joon of his visa rejection.
