I remember when he was a huge star, my brother followed his hairstyle and I thought he looked ridiculous. <br /><br />I saw him live in Orange County (that's where I live) after he was booted out, he was all buffed up.

He was in a nice part of Orange County trying to act all gangsta, getting into trouble, and then came back to Korea and depicted himself as some sort of "I had to become a gangsta 'cuz the White boys were picking on me." <br /><br />The Korean wrote:<br /><b>This was <i>early days of high-speed Internet</i> in Korea, where news spread fast and reactions were instantaneous.</b><br /><br />Um... in which Korea? High-speed Internet was becoming the norm in Korea three or four years earlier.<br /><br />"Steve" Yoo was skewered by Netizens who saw themselves having to go in this punk's place, but that was not the "new" netizens or anything.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-52837168763894605742010-12-07T22:27:07.593-05:002010-12-07T22:27:07.593-05:00The reason Yoo is different is because unlike othe...The reason Yoo is different is because unlike other Korean Americans, he was effusive in saying how much he wanted to serve in the military. This was before his naturalization. So, of course, Koreans and the Korean government got angry at him because he was a hypocrite while pretending to be a role model for young Koreans. Other Korean Americans don't brag about how much they want to serve. THAT is the difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-56762390572628812512010-12-07T20:42:48.797-05:002010-12-07T20:42:48.797-05:00Oh! No! I am draft dodger!

When I heard about what we...I miss Yoo Seung-Joon. When I heard about what went down though, I was totally against him. I didn't actually know he lived in the U.S. since he was 13. I thought he simply hit it big, moved his family to the U.S. and became a citizen to avoid the draft.<br /><br />The reason I was so against him is because my cousin had to spend 3 years in jail because his religious beliefs prevented him from going to military service, and for him to basically exploit the f-4 visa in such a way to avoid the military was in my mind, despicable.<br /><br />But we all know, that in reality, if Steve Yoo wasn't famous, nobody would have cared.<br /><br />I also now don't think he was trying to exploit anything, as his whole family had left Korea when he was 13, and his whole family were in the process of naturalizing.<br /><br />I find it somewhat hypocritical that there always seems to be so much excitement generated from Koreans over the successes of Korean-Americans in sports or in other areas. These people didn't serve in the Korean military. Why don't we ban them from coming to Korea too?<br /><br />No, instead we give Hines Ward the key to the city and honorary Korean citizenship. (all the while ignoring the problems of multiracial kids in Korea... but that's an unrelated story, I know.)<br /><br />Anyway, if anything, I am glad that most Korean people can at least conceptualize what a Korean-American is now.The Seoul Searcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04433656828663327427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-81500632498566594072010-12-06T23:20:41.286-05:002010-12-06T23:20:41.286-05:00Calvin!
