Singer Yoo Seung-jun shed tears in response to fans' support regarding the controversy over his alleged draft evasion.

On the 9th, Yoo Seung-jun released a video on his YouTube channel titled, "From Now On, I Will Speak Directly! For Those Who Remember Me... Yoo Seung-jun Q&A Begins."

In the video, Yoo Seung-jun took time to respond to comments from fans.

Reading a comment from a fan that said, "You were someone I loved so much. Even if you had just gone to the military, or even if you had said from the start that your family was in the U.S. and you couldn't go because you were getting citizenship, back then everyone loved you so much they would have just let it go. It's just a pity and a regret," Yoo Seung-jun replied, "Thank you."

Subsequently, Yoo Seung-jun read another fan's comment and eventually showed tears.

This fan, who revealed he is a father raising two daughters, said, "I was one of the people who cursed you heavily when the news kept coming out. As I live my life, I find myself wondering why I cursed along with others back then, and I feel regret and a sense of apology. It must have been incredibly difficult for you, beyond words. I want to see you again."

Yoo Seung-jun responded, "Thank you. You don't need to apologize to me; I am the one who should apologize. I am sorry again for leaving such a memory. If given the chance, I will strive to create only good memories for you."

With his eyes welling up, Yoo Seung-jun said, "It's childish to be this way at my age," and added, "Thank you, I am so grateful. Thank you for supporting me even though I am so lacking."

Meanwhile, after receiving a call-up notice as a public service worker, Yoo Seung-jun departed for overseas performances in January 2002 citing a U.S. tour, but then suddenly acquired U.S. citizenship, sparking controversy over draft evasion. Ultimately, the Ministry of Justice decided to ban Yoo Seung-jun from entering the country.
