[아시아경제 최은영 기자] Singer Steve Yoo (Korean name Yoo Seung-jun), who was restricted from entering Korea due to military service avoidance, appealed again through a YouTube video. In response to Mr. Yoo’s repeated self-defense, netizens also filed a national petition, saying, “Please punish Mr. Yoo’s national defamation.”
On the 29th, Mr. Yoo told his YouTube channel,’Now I can speak. I uploaded a video titled’Edition of the Devil, All Questions Concerning the First Military Enlistment and Acquisition of Citizenship’.
In a video of about 30 minutes, he said, “I was trying to get on the elevator in my apartment where I was living in the past, but a reporter A, an entertainment magazine, came out from the pillar.” When reporter A asked,’Hey Seung-jun, you’re over 20 years old, you should go to the army’, he said,’Yes, when you get older, you should go.’
“At the time, I was a permanent resident of the United States, so I did not think deeply about the military. But the next day, an article came out saying,’Yoo Seung-jun gave up his permanent residency in the United States and decided to enlist.’ “I regret not being able to say, “I didn’t do it and I couldn’t make a decision to give up my green card.”
He said, “No matter how good you look at Reporter A, how can you provide unclear information in this way (as an article) without receiving a request or a request?” “Until the reporter’s intended misinformation (at the time ) I thought the military enlistment would not be a big deal for me.”
Yoo’s video currently has about 30,000 views and 3,000 comments. The reactions of netizens were mixed. Most of the reactions such as, “Is it an excuse to come and play with the people” and “Don’t pretend to be a victim”, but there was also an atmosphere advocating for Mr.
Singer Yoo Seung-joon (US Steve Seung-joon Yoo) strongly opposed the’Yoo Seung-jun Prevention Act’ in a video posted on his personal YouTube channel on the 19th, saying, “Is I a public enemy?” [이미지출처=연합뉴스]

Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Mr. Yoo has made a voice through his YouTube. In December of last year, Mr. Yoo started his own defense by pouring out his anger through a video titled “‘Yoo Seung-joon 5 Law Proposition to Prevent Sources’? Are you playing with Rep. Kim Byeong-joo now?”
At the time, Mr. Yoo said, “I am not an exemption from military service, I am not an evacuee of military service. More than me, Minister Cho Mi-ae and former Minister Cho Kuk are making the youth more degraded.” I was angry at the initiation of the so-called’Yoo Seung-jun 5 Act’.
On the 9th, “The Ministry of Justice apologizes and takes responsibility for violating and violating human rights for a long period of 19 years, even though there was no criminal activity.” It is said that there are ~4,000 people,” he said. “However, in the history of the Republic of Korea, there is only one person who has been banned from entering the country because it is considered that obtaining US citizenship is to evade military service.”

However, unlike Mr. Yoo’s wish, the reaction of netizens was cold. As his remarks became a hot topic every day, a national petition was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board asking for punishment for Mr. Yoo for defamation, saying, “I felt shame as a citizen beyond the line that should not be crossed.”
On the 8th, the petitioner posted a petition post entitled’Please punish Steve Yoo’s national defamation’ on the 8th, saying, “Among the Korean people’s pain, the American armored car incident and the Sewol ferry incident were not accurately recognized As a citizen of the Republic of Korea, I also felt shame,” he said. “It is not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Yoo is making foreign currency against the Republic of Korea. Please, I ask for strict punishment and sanctions against Mr. Yu.”
Currently, 13,064 people have agreed to the petition.
