Not to mention, he’ll be in the new Jackie Chan film, “Junior Soldiers.”

In an interview, the former Korean singer and rapper Steve Yoo (Yoo Seung-joo), discussed his comeback to Korea and wanted to convey his feelings since he was deported from Korea in 2002. He also especially shared his feelings on 2PM former-leader Jaebum and his anti-fueled flight from Korea.

Steve Yoo expressed about Jaebum’s situation, “At first, my heart really ached for him. With such an occurrence in that friend’s life, I was worried about how he could go on after that. I don’t know if any good will come from me saying this, but I don’t want him to suffer from this mistake of adolescence. If given the chance, couldn’t he grow into a much larger success?”

Steve Yoo gained popularity in Korea from 1997 to 2002, but he was deported from Korea after refusing to complete his mandatory military service, after he suddenly gained American citizenship in 2002, just before he was drafted. Steve Yoo lived in the United States from when he was 13 years old until he was scouted by Brothers Entertainment and debuted as a singer.

After promising to enter the military and then refusing after gaining American citizenship, the singer was deported and banned from returning to Korea. Now, signed onto Jackie Chan’s entertainment company as an actor, after releasing albums in China. He is again entering the Korean entertainment realm under this Hong Kong martial arts film. Obviously, he’s no longer banned.

In the interview, he also told his fans to await his official comeback in Korea.

Obviously, of all the people, this famously deported singer would feel especially close to the ex-2PM member.

Anyway, good luck to Steve Yoo and Jackie Chan’s “Junior Soldiers” project.
