Yoo Seung-joon expressed his displeasure on the 13th, saying, `I never wanted a pardon, and I don't even know the source of who submitted the statement.' `It's not their position even in the official fan club, and they say they don't know it at all, but should they suffer such inconvenience because of a statement submitted by a person who doesn't even know who I am?''
Then "I don't know if someone is trying to mislead me because that's all he has in his head, but he doesn't even want to make money in Korea." If I go, I think someone is waiting with a bundle of money," he added.
In the meantime, "I do not intend to receive benefits, nor do I want to. I wanted to enter the country for the restoration of my honor. It is very regrettable that we are involved in this issue itself."
Recently, DC Inside's Yoo Seung-joon Gallery asked in a statement to review Yoo Seung-joon for an 8.15 pardon. Fans say, `Yoo has endured a lot of criticism and sanctions over the years. It does not mean that there was no fault, but it bears sufficient social responsibility accordingly. Now is the time to look back on the past and give a new opportunity to live in Korean society," he appealed.
At the same time, it is hoped that the will of national unity and harmony revealed in the review of amnesty for politicians such as Cho Kuk, former leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, and Yoon Mi-hyang, former member of the National Assembly, will be applied equally to Yoo Seung-joon, the general public. I hope that the president's decision will serve as an example of the constitutional values of equity and fairness and serve as an opportunity for national unity."
After the statement was released, President Lee Jae-myung's post on SNS during his tenure as Seongnam Mayor in 2015 was re-examined. At the time, President Lee said, `Yoo Seung-joon, do you want to come back to Korea, a harsh country where young Koreans living a much more difficult life than you, are still dying from gun accidents today after fulfilling their military service obligations?," he posted.
Then "Do you need more money from Koreans' pockets? Or did you suddenly become full of patriotism? Singing in the language of the Republic of Korea, I enjoyed all the benefits and benefits of the Korean people, but at a time when I had to fulfill my people's obligations, I abandoned the Republic of Korea and chose the path of a foreigner." Then "Why should we give preferential treatment to foreigners again and be hurt by relative deprivation just because we look like Koreans?"I hope you will forget the Republic of Korea, which has been faithful to your country, betrayed, and abandoned," he said.
Meanwhile, Yoo Seung-joon was exempted from military service by obtaining U.S. citizenship after leaving the country for overseas concerts ahead of his enlistment in 2002. As a result, suspicions of avoiding military service were raised, and under Article 11 of the Immigration Control Act, it was reduced to a ban on entry to the Republic of Korea.
Since then, Yoo Seung-joon has applied to the Consulate General of LA to issue a visa to obtain an overseas Korean (F-4) visa in 2015, but was rejected. At the time, the Consulate General said "The evasion of military duty could harm the national interest" was cited for the reason. In October of the same year, Yoo Seung-joon filed an administrative lawsuit against the Consulate General of LA, asking for the cancellation of the visa issuance denial. The Consulate General is still refusing to issue visas, although some cases have since been ruled in favor.
Currently, Yoo Seung-joon is filing a third administrative lawsuit against the South Korean government, and the sentence will be issued on the 28th.
▶Yoo Seung-jun's position specialized
I never wanted a pardon, and I don't even know the source of who submitted the statement.
Even in the official fan club, it's not their position, and they say they have no idea, but do I have to suffer this inconvenience because of a statement submitted by someone who doesn't even know who I am?
I don't know if someone is trying to mislead because that's all he has in his head, but he doesn't even want to make money in Korea.
If I go, I think I believe someone is waiting with a bundle of money.
I don't intend to benefit and I don't want to.
I wanted to enter the country for the restoration of my honor.
It is very regrettable to be involved in this issue itself.
"A scary world where the real becomes fake and the fake becomes real."
The law should be equal to everyone and equity should not go against it.
