Steve Sueng Jun Yoo, who was banned from entering Korea, shares his latest news on his music career in Korea...featuring on rapper Justhis' album

Singer Steve Yoo, barred from entering the country due to controversy over evading military service, has reappeared in domestic music activities.

On the 20th, rapper JUSTHIS released his new album "LIT". Yoo Seung-jun features on the album's final track ‘HOME HOME’, drawing significant attention.

This marks Yoo Seung-jun's first involvement in a Korean music release in seven years, since his own album "Another Day" in 2019. His presence is also visible in the making-of footage released by Justhis on his YouTube channel, drawing considerable interest.

Yoo Seung-jun remains subject to negative public opinion in South Korea due to allegations of evading military service, and this musical activity is also receiving mixed reactions online.

Meanwhile, Yoo Seung-jun renounced his South Korean nationality in 2002 and obtained US citizenship, thereby exempting himself from military service, which led to allegations of evasion. Consequently, Yoo Seung-jun was subject to an entry ban into South Korea under the Immigration Control Act. However, time passed, and in 2015, he applied for an Overseas Korean Visa (F-4) at the LA Consulate General, which was refused. Although he subsequently won a lawsuit to overturn the visa refusal, the Ministry of Justice maintained its position on the entry ban, and a third appeal trial is ongoing.
