Why do Koreans hold decadeslong grudge against former-star Steve Yoo?
Fans plead for leniency for Korean-American singer, blocked from Korea since 2002 draft dodging A local fan base supporting Steve Yoo, better known by his Korean name Yoo Seung-joon, released a statement Tuesday urging President Lee Jae Myung to grant a Liberation Day special pardon for the Korean-American singer. Yoo, 48, has been banned from entering South Korea since 2002 after he dodged military conscription by renouncing his Korean nationality for US citizenship. "We're not saying (Yoo) is not at fault, but that he has sufficiently shouldered social responsibility as a result. He should be given a new opportunity to live in Korean society," Yoo's fans said in the online statement. The president's office has not responded to the request, and Yoo is not eligible for a special pardon under the Amnesty Act. Article 5 states that a special pardon applies only to legal punishments. Yoo's entry ban is a visa matter under sovereign discretion involving a foreign national, not the result of a criminal sentence. The entry ban is an administrative decision made by the Ministry of Justice. Yoo was a superstar in the local music scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s, one of the biggest names of the pop genre that was the prototype for the internationally beloved K-pop of today. But the nationwide scandal in January of 2002 forever tarnished his legacy, making him a symbol of draft-dodging controversy in South Korea. From beloved star to infamous draft dodger Many Korean pop stars hold foreign citizenship, but none have faced the level of public anger that Yoo has. The backlash stems from his actions and words leading up to his evasion of the draft in 2002, before which he had repeatedly said he would gladly serve his mandatory military duties. South Korea requires all able-bodied men to serve at least 18 months in the military, with alternate forms of service available for those unable to carry out combat duties. Graded for non-combat service, Yoo was expected to serve as social service personnel for 2 years and six months. As a conscript candidate, he won the government permission to leave the country just before he was to commence his service in late 2001. However, in early 2002, he renounced his Korean citizenship and began the process to gain US citizenship. He cited that the service would mean a lengthy departure from his family in the US, and that his career as a dancer and singer would be cut short. The public, feeling betrayed by a beloved star who was ranked by Gallup Korea as the country's third most-liked male singer in 1998, responded with outrage. Later in 2002, the Justice Ministry imposed an indefinite entry ban on him. Public opposition to lifting the ban remains strong: a 2023 poll by local outlet News Tomato showed that 75.15 percent of respondents were still against his return to South Korea. Yoo tries to return, but legal complications remain Yoo is currently undergoing a yearslong legal battle to reverse the decision by the Justice Ministry, with the Seoul Administrative Court slated to reach a ruling on the third court proceedings on the case on Aug. 28. Yoo has claimed that the South Korean government's refusal to issue a visa for him is against the law, saying that one violating the Military Service Act should not lead to a permanent entry ban. He pointed at the case of soccer player Suk Hyun-jun, whose draft dodging led to his suspended prison term but not an entry ban. In 2015 and 2020, Yoo filed for a trial against the South Korean Consulate General in Los Angeles that had refused to issue him a visa. A 2019 Supreme Court ruling on the 2015 case sent the case back to the Seoul High Court, which ruled in favor of Yoo and said the LA consulate did not have the authority to refuse a visa. The 2020 case was once again won by Yoo, with the court ruling that there were no legal grounds to deny a visa. Those who revoked South Korean citizenship to dodge military duties can be refused entry into the country for up to five years. Based on this ruling, Yoo claims that he is now eligible to be issued a visa. But the ruling concerned the LA consulate's refusal to review Yoo's case, not the Justice Ministry's decision to issue the initial ban based on the Immigration Act in 2002. Draft dodging itself is not a crime that warrants a permanent entry ban, but the ministry's basis for slapping the ban was Article 11, subsection 1-3 of the Immigration Act, which says: "A person deemed highly likely to engage in any conduct harming the interests or public security of South Korea can be prohibited from entering the country.' Application of this article to a draft dodger is not common. But due to Yoo's considerable influence and popularity with the public, government officials have cited that a beloved celebrity flagrantly trying to avoid military duties can have significant detrimental effects on young Koreans. The ongoing trial is against both the Justice Ministry and the LA consulate, and Yoo has requested the court confirm that the entry ban should be nullified. The aforementioned ruling in favor of Yoo covered the administrative process of the visa rejection, not the validity of the ministry's initial decision. Ministry has maintained that imposing an entry ban is the right of a Justice Minister, and letting Yoo back into the country could stir controversy and cause confusion. President Lee, some 10 years ago, when he was serving as the mayor of Seongnam city in Gyeonggi Province, made some comments about the case. He said online that Yoo should "forget about Korea that you betrayed and abandoned, and be loyal to your country."

A UFC fight at the White House? Dana White says it's happening as part of deal with Paramount
Hours after Paramount and UFC announced a billion-dollar rights deal, Dana White said he had yet to hear from his friend, President Donald Trump, on his thoughts about the fight company's new streaming home. That was fine with White. The UFC CEO was set to travel to Washington on Aug. 28 to meet with Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, to catch up and discuss logistics on the proposed Fourth of July fight card next year at the White House. Trump said last month he wanted to stage a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. "It's absolutely going to happen," White told The Associated Press. "Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House south lawn live on CBS." The idea of cage fights at the White House would have seemed improbable when the Fertitta brothers purchased UFC for $2 million in 2001 and put White in charge of the fledging fight promotion. White helped steer the company into a $4 billion sale in 2016 and broadcast rights deals with Fox and ESPN before landing owner TKO Group's richest one yet — a seven-year deal with Paramount starting in 2026 worth an average of $1.1 billion a year, with all cards on its streaming platform Paramount+ and select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS. ESPN, Amazon and Netflix and other traditional sports broadcast players seemed more in play for UFC rights — White had previously hinted fights could air across different platforms — but Paramount was a serious contender from the start of the negotiating window. The Paramount and UFC deal came just days after Skydance and Paramount officially closed their $8 billion merger — kicking off the reign of a new entertainment giant after a contentious endeavor to get the transaction over the finish line. White said he was impressed with the vision Skydance CEO David Ellison had for the the global MMA leader early in contract talks and how those plans should blossom now that Ellison is chairman and CEO of Paramount. "When you talk about Paramount, you talk about David Ellison, they're brilliant businessmen, very aggressive, risk takers," White said. "They're right up my alley. These are the kind of guys that I like to be in business with." The $1.1 billion deals marks a notable jump from the roughly $550 million that ESPN paid each year for UFC coverage today. But UFC's new home on Paramount will simplify offerings for fans — with all content set to be available on Paramount+ (which currently costs between $7.99 and $12.99 a month), rather than various pay-per-view fees. Paramount also said it intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. "as they become available in the future." UFC matchmakers were set to meet this week to shape what White said would be a loaded debut Paramount card. The UFC boss noted it was still too early to discuss a potential main event for the White House fight night. "This is a 1-of-1 event," White said. There are still some moving parts to UFC broadcasts and other television programming it has its hands in as the company moves into the Paramount era. White said there are still moving parts to the deal and that includes potentially finding new homes for "The Ultimate Fighter," "Road To UFC," and "Dana White's Contender Series." It's not necessarily a given the traditional 10 p.m. start time for what were the pay-per-view events would stand, especially on nights cards will also air on CBS. "We haven't figured that out yet but we will," White said. And what about the sometimes-contentious issue of fighter pay? Some established fighters have clauses in their contracts that they earn more money the higher the buyrate on their cards. Again, most of those issues are to-be-determined as UFC and Paramount settle in to the new deal — with $1.1 billion headed the fight company's way. "It will affect fighter pay, big time," White said. "From deal-to-deal, fighter pay has grown, too. Every time we win, everybody wins." Boxer Jake Paul wrote on social media the dying PPV model — which was overpriced for fights as UFC saw a decline in buys because of missing star power in many main events — should give the fighters an increased idea of their worth. "Every fighter in the UFC now has a clear picture of what the revenue is ... no more PPV excuses," Paul wrote. "Get your worth boys and girls." White also scoffed at the idea that the traditional PPV model is dead. There are still UFC cards on pay-per-view the rest of the year through the end of the ESPN contract and White and Saudi Arabia have teamed to launch a new boxing venture that starts next year and could use a PPV home. White, though, is part of the promotional team for the Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford fight in September in Las Vegas that airs on Netflix. "It's definitely not run it's course," White said. "There were guys out there who were interested in pay-per-view and there were guys out there that weren't. Wherever we ended up, that's what we're going to roll with." White said UFC archival footage "kills it" in repeat views and those classic bouts also needed a new home once the ESPN deal expires. Just when it seems there's little left for UFC to conquer, White says, there's always more. Why stop at becoming the biggest fight game in the world? Why not rewrite the pecking order in popularity and riches and go for No. 1 in all sports?
