As we all know, South Korea implements a compulsory military service system . Men must serve in the military when they reach a certain age. Even stars of the king level are no exception. The end of desertion of military service is serious. At the least, the acting career will be damaged, and at the worst, the resistance of the entire Korean people will be boycotted.
Recently, according to Korean media reports, Korean star Liu Chengjun , who had previously been promoted to the United States to exempt military service, was ordered to be deported 17 years later, filed a lawsuit with the court again, demanding a return to South Korea. It is reported that the court will trial Liu Chengjun's appeal on July 11.
Liu Chengjun was once a king-level figure in the Korean music scene. He was not inferior to Rain, a familiar Chinese audience at the time.
2002 In order to avoid serving, Liu Chengjun chose to give up his Korean nationality and become an American citizen. This move angered the South Korean people. As the controversy continued to expand, the South Korean Ministry of Justice directly included Liu Seung-jun on the list of prohibited entry.
Maybe he was unwilling to be ruined in his acting career. Liu Chengjun, who was banned from entering South Korea, did not choose to stay in the United States, but came to China to seek development.
As soon as he entered the Chinese entertainment industry, Liu Chengjun was appreciated by Jackie Chan and was taken over by him. He began to transform from a singer to an actor, and has participated in film and television works such as "The Soldier", "Hi-Twelve Zodiac ", and "Tough Guy 2".
As an overseas artist who is plagued by negative news in the local area, Liu Chengjun’s ability to obtain these excellent film and television resources is inseparable from Jackie Chan’s support. He has also publicly thanked Jackie Chan many times and said that being able to cooperate with Jackie Chan is "like a dream."
To this day, Liu Chengjun can communicate in Chinese and be proficient in Chinese to post updates. According to social dynamics, Liu Chengjun has been filming a costume drama in Hengdian recently.
During the filming, Liu Chengjun also posted a gift from Chinese fans to him, and in the caption, he thanked everyone for their company over the years.
Although his career in China is booming, it can be seen from Liu Chengjun's several lawsuits against the Korean consulate over the years that he has never given up on his idea of returning to South Korea.
In 2015, Liu Chengjun was still connected to Hong Kong through online TV, kneeling down to the Korean people and crying and apologizing, but he still failed to get forgiveness from the Chinese people. However, Liu Chengjun was not discouraged and continued to file lawsuits with the Korean consulate.
Regarding Liu Chengjun's recent re-prosecution, a South Korean investigative agency conducted a public opinion survey. The results showed that more than 70% of South Korean citizens still oppose allowing Liu Chengjun to enter South Korea's territory.
Whether Liu Chengjun can re-embark on the long-lost Korean land will be found in the trial on July 11. However, judging from the current attitude of the Korean people, even if Liu Chengjun is allowed to enter the country, his treatment after returning to China seems not optimistic.
