Park Yuchun transforms into long hair... Updates from Fukuoka with a bright smile

Singer Park Yuchun revealed his recent situation in Japan.

On 25th of this month, Park Yuchun posted a photo on his SNS with the text ‘Fukuoka!

In the photo, his younger brother Park Yoo-hwan is also seen with Park Yuchun, attracting attention. Park Yuchun, who has transformed into a man with long hair that covers his ears, is smiling brightly with a slightly reddish face.

Korean public opinion reacted coldly to the recent news that Park Yuchun, who had reversed his retirement announcement, was now active in Japan. In September this year, Park Yuchun held a press conference in Tokyo and announced that he would release his debut solo album on the 18th of this month and would also hold a Christmas tour in Tokyo and Osaka in the same month.

As planned, Park Yuchun released his solo album ‘Where I Walk’ and had a chance to meet his local Japanese fans. As his activities in South Korea have become virtually impossible, Park Yuchun has recently shifted his activities overseas by organising expensive Japanese fan meetings and dinner shows.

Park Yuchun caused controversy in 2019 due to allegations of drug use. At the time, Park Yuchun held an emergency press conference and said, ‘I never do drugs. If drug medication is true, I will retire from the entertainment industry’, but he later tested positive for narcotics and was sentenced to 10 months in prison and two years of probation, and was expelled from the entertainment industry.

Since then, Park Yuchun has continued to cause uproar due to disputes with his agency. In December last year, he also raised his name on the list of high habitual delinquent taxpayers published by the National Tax Administration. Park Yuchun's arrears reportedly amounted to 409 million won (approx. £44 million). The film ‘Dedicated to Evil’, which was supposed to be his comeback film, was cancelled for release in theatres.
