Mr. A, who introduced himself as a Korean living in Los Angeles, USA, posted a lengthy post on the online community.
Mr. A still introduces himself as a 'Korean superstar' when he appears at an event or night stage in the Cerritos neighborhood of LA. And call 'passion'scissors'Nana' and so on. When there is no event, I go to the gym and spend my days surfing or skateboarding with my children at Fairfax Huntington Beach or Malibu.
"Yoo Seung-joon's father said he would send West Point (U.S. Military Academy), but he didn't even go there. I don't know why they want to come to Korea when they eat well and live well in the United States."
Yoo Seung-joon gave up his Korean citizenship and obtained U.S. citizenship after leaving the country in 2002, saying he would return from an overseas performance before joining the military. Accordingly, the Ministry of Justice imposed a ban on entry, but Yoo Seung-joon applied for an overseas Korean visa (F-4) to the Consulate General in Los Angeles in 2015. The F-4 visa was controversial because it was a visa that guaranteed commercial activities, not just for tourism purposes.
The Consulate General refused to do so, and Yoo Seung-joon filed a lawsuit to cancel the denial of visa issuance. The first and second trials ruled against Yoo Seung-joon, but the Supreme Court's decision to revoke and repatriate Yoo Seung-joon finally won. However, the visa was rejected. Yoo Seung-joon also won the second lawsuit, but his visa was rejected. In the end, in September last year, Yoo Seung-joon filed a lawsuit against the Consulate General of LA and the Minister of Justice to confirm the absence of the entry ban. The Ministry of Justice stressed the need to ban Yoo Seung-joon from entering the country, saying that his entry could affect national interests and public welfare.
In the meantime, Yoo Seung-joon posted a congratulatory message on the 28th anniversary of his debut on the 1st and said, `I will look forward to seeing you again someday.'
