Singer Kim Chang-yeol, who is working as a promotional ambassador for Dokdo, was denied entry to Japan ahead of the "Day of Takeshima, Shimane Prefecture, Japan (the name of Dokdo claimed by Japan)."

Kim Chang-yeol, a public relations ambassador for the Dokdo Love Movement Headquarters, visited Japan with officials from the headquarters from the 19th to the 21st to film the local atmosphere before the Takeshima Day event, but returned to Korea immediately on the day of his arrival after receiving a notification that he was not allowed to enter the country, and a headquarters official who visited Japan together was also denied entry and reportedly returned home the next day.

In this regard, an official at the Dokdo Love Movement Headquarters said in an official statement on the 22nd, "We were detained under the pretext of a five-hour interview and luggage search, but we eventually refused to land on the grounds that it was a promotional activity for Dokdo," adding, "This measure is Japan's political retaliation and targeted screening to prevent Dokdo personnel from visiting ahead of Takeshima Day."

After announcing that Dokdo was unilaterally incorporated into the administrative district on February 22, 1905, Shimane Prefecture designated February 22 as "Takeshima Day" on the occasion of its 100th anniversary in 2005. It has held an annual celebration since 2006. The Japanese government also dispatched a vice minister-level political officer this year, and the Korean government has protested and demanded the event be abolished every year.

◆ Full text of official position of Dokdo Love Movement Headquarters officials

Japan is pushing ahead with the Takeshima Day (=False Reading Day) event again this year.

In response, I visited Shimane Prefecture on the 19th to tour the site of Dokdo history distortion in Shimane Prefecture with Ambassador Kim Chang-yeol, but I was denied entry to Dokdo retaliation.

Ambassador Kim Chang-yeol was evicted to Korea at the same time as he entered the country for his drunk driving history in 1999, and I was detained for five hours of interviews and luggage search, but was eventually denied landing on the grounds of Dokdo promotion activities. However, I couldn't get a flight to enter Korea right away. The airport was consistent with an irresponsible attitude to consult with the airline, saying that they were not at the airport 24 hours a day, and an irresponsible attitude to consult with the airline.

In addition, I had to pay only 2.2 million won worth of expenses, including accommodation costs and labor costs for two private security guards due to refusal to enter the country.

I also asked the Korean Consulate for help, but I couldn't get help and there was no Republic of Korea when the Korean people needed it.

There was no problem when visiting other Japanese airports, but the denial of entry is Japan's political retaliation and target screening to prevent Dokdo personnel from visiting on the occasion of Takeshima Day.

The headquarters strongly condemns such irrational retaliatory measures and must abolish Takeshima Day held today, and must apologize to Dokdo.

Why are you so scared... You don't have to do this if you're proud. This time, I will not stay still thinking that it is a denial of entry to the Republic of Korea.
