Yoo Seung-jun side "Jinusean Sean and Brian Joo are also subject to military service exemption after obtaining United States nationality law" claim
United States of America national singer Steve Seung-jun Yoo (Korean activity name Yoo Seung-jun) again denied the suspicion of intentional military service avoidance.
On November 18, in Part 5 of the Seoul administrative court, the third trial of the lawsuit against the cancellation of the denial of issuance of the Dussehra filed by Yoo Seung-jun against the Los Angeles Consultate General of the United States, Hong was held.
Yoo Seung-jun acquired the United States of America United States nationality law in 2002 when he left for overseas concerts after receiving a notice of entry. Yoo Seung-jun, who was active in South Korea, was reported to have announced his intention to join the military once through a media at the time, and was suspected of avoiding military service after acquiring the United States of America United States nationality law. In the end, according to Article 11 of the Entrance Management Act, South Korea Entrance was prohibited.
The Yoo Seung-jun side argued that the Yoo Seung-jun acquired the United States of America United States nationality law and that the process of not enlisting was socially buried even though it was not a criminal act. He added that the report that Yoo Seung-jun directly announced his intention to join the army at the time of his activities was an misrepresentation of one media and that the refutation report was also made.
The Yoo Seung-jun legal representative mentioned the real names of Korean celebrities (Jinusean member Sean, fly-to-the-sky member Brian Joo, god member Denian, turbo member Mikey, etc.) who were exemplified after acquiring the United States nationality law overseas at the trial.
In this regard, the Los Angeles Consultate General of the United States, Hong said that it needs the opinions of the Ministry of Justice or the Military Manpower Administration and is also cautious about personal information protection. The court ordered both sides to specify specifically what differences there are between the cases of Yoo Seung-jun and other entertainers.
In addition, the Los Angeles Consulate General of the United States, Hong, said that Yoo Seung-jun had said he had a back disk at the time of his activity, and explained that only 3 to 5% of all patients with back disks had to undergo surgery. In the case of Yoo Seung-jun, he underwent surgery, but it was not a big operation and there was no mention of the existing waist disk surgery.
Meanwhile, Yoo Seung-jun applied for the issuance of a visa for overseas Koreans in August 2015. The Los Angeles Consulate General of the United States, Hong refused to issue a visa because of the avoidance of the military service obligation of the Yoo Seung-jun, and the Yoo Seung-jun sued the Los Angeles Consultate General of the United States, Hong, in October 2015, asking him to cancel the rejection of Dussehra issuance.
The first and second courts handed the hands of the Los Angeles Consultate General of the United States, Hong, but the Supreme Court of South Korea broke the original Judgment at the July 2019 appeals trial and returned the case to the Seoul High Court.
The 10th Administration of the Seoul High Court, in November 2019, revoked the denial of issuance of a visa, and said at the Judgment hearing, "We cancel the disposition of the first Judgment. I cancel the refusal of the visa to the plaintiffs," Judgment said. Judgment is that Los Angeles Consulate General of the United States, Hong did not Event discretion and refused to issue Dussehra just because there was a decision to ban Entrance in the past to Yoo Seung-jun.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' representative, the Government Legal Service, reappeared in December 2019 to the 10th Administration (chief judge Han Chang-hoon) of the Seoul High Court.
The Supreme Court of South Korea confirmed the original trial (the plaintiff, the Young-jun final winner Judgment) at the retrial in March last year. Supreme Court of South Korea decided that there was no special reason, such as a serious violation of the statute, in the Seoul High Court Judgment, and decided to dismiss the incontinence of the hearing (the decision to finalize without hearing the original hearing).
However, Yoo Seung-jun failed to issue Dussehra once again last year because the government did not grant permission to issue Dussehra based on the Overseas Koreans Act. Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said in an audit of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee on October 26, last year, "Since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not properly exercise discretion in the Supreme Court of South Korea, it is not necessary to Entrance (Yoo Seung-jun) but to meet procedural requirements. I made a decision," he said. In response, Yoo Seung-jun filed a lawsuit in October last year against the Seoul administrative court to cancel the refusal to issue a visa.
The fourth hearing was scheduled for December 16.
