What I don’t understand is why Celebrities are held on a different level than politicians. BOTH are public figures, politicians LIE and are hypocrites ALL the time yet they are never exiled from their home country. On the contrary they are seemingly always re-elected into office!!

He didn’t break any laws, he became a US citizen. Following this logic all my Korean friends that have become US citizens (although they didn’t become American to avoid military service, but the reasons for becoming American shouldn’t matter as the “crime” is the same) have all broken the law and none of them should be allowed back into the country. Yet, a lot of my friends visit S. Korea on a regular basis. What’s wrong with this picture here?

in Egypt, if someone avoided his military duties ,he would be sent to jail. However the idea of exiling him is just ridicules.

The part about being a US citizen and serving in another countries military is illegal, is not true, I have met
Koreans who had American citizenship and were serving in the ROK Army. I asked how that happen and he said that his family did not take him off the Family Registry, therefore in the eyes of the ROK government he was obligated to serv. I think that’s how alot of guys get caught up. The ROK military is hard duty, but they do try to keep foreign members out of harms way.

In America you just have be born in America to be an American citizen.

Thats not the case in Korea

Service in Korea sucks. I used to have legal residecy in Korea, but I chucked it for that specific reason. Who wants to serve in Army if they dont have too,

i was reading some of the comments made by people. and wat i think is that. with everything happening in the world. and you seung jun saying he wanted to go to the army was a bad choice. i would feel the same way if i was his father. i came to america to get away from korea and from my only son going into the military when the world is in chaos. i would tell him not too go too. and do everything in my power to make him stay. mostly korean dad’s think this way and that’s why they come to america. “to live a better life”. but i just think you seung jun was doin so good in korea and he wanted to make people think he was a real korean. so that is why i think he said those things. he was juss being hyped by his fans and how big he got. and don’t hate on him. dude he juss wants to be liked by everyone. and come back to where his parents called home once.

Firstly, other Korean celebs have voiced their support for Yoo SeungJun, as have scores of fans. He has been performing and working in China and Japan successfully.

Personally, I don’t know of any men in this country that would want to go to the military out of some outdated law(s). No one can call SeungJun a coward until they are in his shoes. It is easy to say when YOU are not the one under obligation to go.

As Koreans, we also place a high value on our parents and people have forgotten that, according to the reports, SeungJun’s father asked that he not go as well. Imagine the dilema while you are in your glass houses throwing stones.

Geez, why can’t this guy just stay out of Korea. His fans have dwindled, he’s labeled a loser and a coward for turning back on his word that he’ll go into military service and can he even call himself a man now? Celebrities expect too much and to change nationalities just because of that? Very brash decision. Doesn’t exactly display patriotism or set an example. But somehow, deep in the my stony little heart, he should be given a chance. Let him back in when he’s say…70?
