After more than 20 years of being prohibited from returning to South Korea due to allegations of avoiding military conscription, singer Yoo Seung Joon commemorated his 28th debut anniversary with a touching message. On April 1st, Yoo took to social media to reflect on the past, expressing gratitude and remorse for the brevity of his time in Korea and the consequences that followed. Despite his regrets for not living up to expectations during his five years of activity and the subsequent 23-year hiatus, Yoo acknowledged his faults for the disillusionment fans experienced. He reminisced about the fond memories created together with his supporters and expressed his enduring appreciation. Yoo concluded with optimism, expressing his desire to reunite with his fans someday. Accused in 2002 of circumventing military service obligations by relinquishing his Korean nationality for U.S. citizenship, Yoo faced a ban on entering South Korea. Despite legal victories contesting visa denials, his efforts to return have been consistently rebuffed by South Korean authorities citing national interests and public sentiment. His most recent legal action against the entry ban, initiated in September of the previous year, is still unresolved.
