[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Joohee] Singer Yoo Seung Jun (44, U.S. name Steve Seung Jun Yoo) once again expressed his frustration on the 9th, asking, "What is my crime?"

On that day, Yoo Seung Jun uploaded a video titled "Yoo Seung Jun Fact Check Summary Pt.4 #19YearsEntryBan #UntilWhen #Reason #FairnessAndEquity #FinalSummary" on his YouTube channel 'Yoo Seung Jun Official Yoo Seung Jun OFFICIAL.' This marks the fourth time Yoo Seung Jun has stated his position through YouTube.

Yoo Seung Jun said, "Acquiring citizenship was regarded as evading military service, and without a fair legal judgment or due process, the government unilaterally intervened," and asked, "Is it fair and just to ban one individual's entry for nearly 19 years?"

He continued, "If I had truly committed an illegal act or violated the law, I should rightfully pay the price for my crime," adding, "However, despite no illegal acts, the Ministry of Justice in particular should apologize and take responsibility for brutally violating and infringing upon one person's human rights for such a long period of 19 years."

He argued, "The law must be fair and equal to everyone. The conclusion should never change depending on the subject for any reason," and questioned, "Am I someone who committed a crime worthy of deportation? I did not commit any illegal acts. The choice I made was not unlawful. I am exempt from military service, not someone evading it. What is my crime?"

Yoo Seung Jun also addressed the Ministry of Justice, saying, "Why does the Ministry of Justice issue the entry ban order but then act like a petty bystander avoiding responsibility behind the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Manpower Administration? Minister, please say a word," expressing his indignation, "Am I not entitled to legal protection? Do I have no human rights?"

He added, "According to Military Manpower Administration data, on average 3,600 to 4,000 people renounce their nationality and have their military obligations extinguished each year," and claimed, "However, I am the only person in South Korean history who has been banned from entry because acquiring U.S. citizenship was considered an attempt to evade military service. This is a clear witch hunt."

Yoo Seung Jun then spoke to his fans, saying, "Of course, I had to keep my promises to my fans. I disappointed you. But there were personal circumstances," and added, "I have never thought of myself as cowardly or immoral. It is true that I felt heavy-hearted and sorry for not being able to keep my promises to my fans. But I will gradually explain how my feelings changed during this process."

He continued, "I don't care about left-wing or right-wing, progressive or conservative. I have no desire to support any particular party or politician," and said, "I am a Christian who believes in and follows God. Whatever policy aligns with God's will and is good, right, and fair, I will stand on that side. If what I said leans toward the right wing, it is fine to see me as right-wing."

Meanwhile, Yoo Seung Jun has recently voiced his grievances multiple times regarding the entry ban through his YouTube channel.
