Yoo Seung Joon sends a video message to the judge pleading for his ban from Korea to be removed

Yoo Seung Joon
It has been 15 years since Yoo Seung Joon was banned from Korea.


On January 19, a second hearing was held in Los Angeles for the singer's visa issuance cancellation suit.  Yoo Seung Jun's legal representative presented a video message of the singer's declaration.  


A representative of Yoo Seung Jun stated, "Yoo Seung Jun claimed, 'I really want my voice to be heard', and prepared a 15-minute video clip."  It has been reported that the footage contained a message directly from the singer expressing his thoughts and current conditions since his prohibition from entering his homeland, Korea.


Giving up his Korean citizenship and obtaining a U.S. citizenship in order to be exempt from serving in the mandatory Korean military service, the singer received much criticism for his actions back in 2002, leading to a huge plunge in his music career as it was at its peak coming from the 90s.  As a result, he was forced to leave Korea and has been banned from the country ever since.
