Yu Seung-jun, a passionate fan of the South Korea national football team, recently uploaded a video titled 'I will support South Korea no matter what. Past, present, and future' to his YouTube channel. The video shows Yu Seung-jun watching the 2026 CONCACAF World Cup match while wearing the South Korea national team uniform. He enthusiastically cheered and clapped for every goal, and even shouted 'Let's turn it around' when Hwang In-beom scored. When Oh Hyun-kyu scored, he stood up and applauded, showing his joy. From the video title to wearing the national team uniform with the Taegeuk mark, his affection for the Korean representative team has been spread rapidly online. The reactions of netizens were mixed. 'No matter the situation, his heart is sincere', 'It's surprising that he has been watching the representative team for 24 years', 'Support and military service are separate', 'Still a complicated mind', and 'Can't forget the controversy' were some of the reactions. Yu Seung-jun debuted in 1997 and became a hit with songs like 'Gaui', 'Nanana', 'Jeoljeon', and 'Yeonga'. However, in 2002, he acquired American citizenship and failed to fulfill his military service, facing fierce criticism. At the time, the Ministry of Justice imposed an entry ban on Yu Seung-jun, and he has continued to file lawsuits demanding visa issuance and entry permission, but has not been allowed to enter Korea to this day. Recently, he also shared his thoughts on the entry issue on his YouTube channel. He said, 'Korea is the place where I was born and my heart's hometown' and 'I have apologized sincerely and explained why I had to make that decision, but my feelings were not properly conveyed.' He added, 'I've done what I can. Now, I want to put the issue of entering Korea behind me.'
