Yoo posted a video on the 18th with the words `December 7, 1989. My age is 13 (first year of middle school) Oju Middle School, Songpa-gu, which I attended until a day before I immigrated to the United States.'
The video showed school walls, playgrounds, school buildings, and school gates.
Yoo Seung-joon recalled his childhood when he saw a school that remained unchanged even after decades.
The video was not filmed by Yoo Seung-joon himself in Korea.
At the bottom of the video, Yoo Seung-joon wrote "One of my fans filmed and sent me a video of a middle school I attended before immigrating to the United States. He wrote the phrase "thank you" and said it was not a video he filmed.
Meanwhile, Yoo Seung-joon, who debuted in April 1997, lost his Korean citizenship by obtaining U.S. citizenship after leaving the country for performance purposes in January 2002 when he was notified of the call-up of public service workers. Accordingly, the Ministry of Justice restricted Yoo Seung-joon's entry and has not been able to enter Korea since then.
