Singer Yoo Seung-jun appealed to the remarks of Military Manpower Administration Chief Mo Jong-hwa.

On the 13th, Yoo Seung-jun said on his Instagram on the 13th, "It is very regrettable that the Director of the Military Manpower Administration stated that the entry ban should be maintained, and I think it was unfair."

On the same day, Military Manpower Administration Commissioner Mo Jong-hwa made a remark at the National Assembly Defense Committee's Military Manpower Administration State Administration, "I think Yoo Seung-jun should continue to be banned from entering the country."

Director Mo pointed out that "Steve Yu is not a Korean, but an American," and said, "Yoo Seung-joon was a person who escaped military service by obtaining US citizenship within a week after obtaining permission to travel abroad even though he was given military service obligations in 2002."

He said, "If Yoo Seung-joon enters Korea and engages in entertainment activities in Korea, how much of a sense of loss would be for our soldiers who are obligated to serve in the military at this moment? Since it is more important to fulfill the sacred military duty, entry should continue to be banned."

Regarding this remark, Yoo Seung-jun said, "I am still sorry that I did not keep my promise to go to the military in 2002 and disappointed many people."

However, he appealed, "Even now, 18 years and 7 months later, it is not fair to continue to refuse entry with the same logic as at the time."

Yoo Seung-jun said, "Even if I call Steve Euro, not Yoo Seung-joon, the fact that my roots are in Korea and that I am one of many overseas Koreans who miss my homeland remains unchanged. I have failed to keep my promise as a celebrity, but the government came forward over this for several decades. Second, he argued that it is discriminatory discrimination and human rights violations that prevent him from entering the Republic of Korea for reasons such as security guarantees.

In addition, "I am very sorry that the government recently refused to issue a visa to me again despite winning the Supreme Court, and today the Commissioner of the Military Manpower Administration announced that the entry ban should continue to be maintained. I am very sorry, and I think it is unfair." We look forward to the court's correct judgment.”
