Military Manpower Administration Commissioner Mo Jong-hwa said that the entry ban of singer Yoo Seung-jun (US Steve Seung-jun Yu) should continue.
Commissioner Mo said, "I don't want to use the term Yoo Seung-jun," and said "Steve Yu" to the question of Rep. Lee Chae-ik, the power of the people, who asked for a position on the ban on the entry of Mr.
“Steve U is not Korean, but American,” he said and replied, “From the military manpower administration's standpoint, entry should be banned.”
Regarding the reason, Moh said, "Steve Yu himself broke his noble military service obligations and refused to do so even though he repeatedly promised to fulfill his military duty to the people fairly.
He explained, "If you enter Korea and engage in entertainment activities, how much of a sense of loss would the soldiers who are obligated to serve in the military at this moment?"
Commissioner Mo also pointed out that'a foreigner who has committed a crime can re-enter Korea five years after the deportation, but it is excessive that Mr. Yoo's entry ban is maintained.' "He said again and again.
Yoo was ruled in the Supreme Court in March in connection with a visa issuance lawsuit, but the Consulate General of Los Angeles was again denied issuing a visa in July.
Therefore, I recently filed a lawsuit against the Consulate General of Los Angeles.
Yoo argues, "I just failed to keep my promise as an celebrity, but it is illegal to refuse entry with the same logic even after 18 years and 7 months after taking a ban on entry indefinitely for reasons of security in Korea."
Meanwhile, the Military Manpower Administration said, "Allowing the conscription and postponement of the convocation of excellent people in the field of popular culture and arts is under consideration."
