Yoo Seung Jun Signs Up With Jackie Chan

Yoo Seung Jun KPOP Korean Music

The steroid junkie Yoo Seung Jun is back in the news after signing a 7 year contract with Jackie Chan's entertainment company, JC group international.

Yoo Seung Jun is currently training to be an action hero, training in both acting and martial arts. He also plans to release a new album for the asian market in the near future, but it most likely won't do too well in Korea.

Yoo Seung Jun, for those of you who aren't familiar with this former KPOP Star, is one of the biggest fall from grace stories in KPOP. He grew up in California claiming to be in a gang, but eventually gave up that lifestyle when he started attending church. After joining the church choir an interest in singing and dancing was kindled, which led Yoo Seung Jun to send demos to various record labels and was eventually signed. The steroid junkie debuted in 1996 and quickly became a star and had a few #1 hits.

Everything was going good for Yoo Seung Jun but it quickly changed in 2002 when he was supposed to be selected for conscription (mandatory military service). However, just before this happened, he went to America and became a naturalized US Citizen. Because of this, Yoo Seung Jun was and still is considered a traitor / deserter and has since been banned from entering Korea. Many people turned on him and called him a coward.

From coward to action hero, maybe he can watch some episodes of the now defunct Jackie Chan adventures and grow some balls... Wait a minute, doesn't steroids shrink a certain part of the male body?

um.  why are you such a hater.  just report the story without resorting to name calling..  i don’t think he’s big enough to be on juice either..  i know, hard to believe for a guy who sits behind a computer monitor all day, trying to be witty..  but try.

no, you didn’t hurt my feelings.  you just make it obvious that you’re a bitter korean kid who probably tries to mask his insecurities by being critical of others.  nerd.

I remember I used to want his hairstyle in that video back then… how dumb. And yeah he looks like hes been on the juice. People shouldnt keep opinion to themselves but at da same time it dont help matters if u write dumb opinions and get offended by a gossip blog.

so he was born in korea, grew up in cali and was in a gang, returned to korea to sing, then ran to america to avoid going to the military. You would think if he “was” in a gang that military service would be a cake walk. 

He really needs to keep his eyes covered because he looks a special olympics kid in the picture with Jackie Chan.

^ i agree with person.

and wow at what this guy did though. I wouldn’t be surprised if people called him a traitor though i kinda think he should have went for the service cuz maybe he would still be in the limelight afterward. ehh idk just my opinion.

Since nobdy seems to agree with “ tehtank “ i will cuz i do agree that half the stuff the guy says is alot of crap. Just get to the point yeh, ive been to many websites and dis prbly has the worst namecalling from them all. Keep the name calling 2 urslf, cuz its realy lame.


All the posts this website does, aint even close to funny. Get a grip and stop being a hater to al stars.

Anwys Its not like u hv big enf balls to tel the stars urslf.

i think it’s wrong of him to abandon his mandatory military service but it’s pretty smart of him to hook up with jackie chan.  the rest of asia and the world doesn’t know this guy and wouldn’t care whether he avoided his service or not.  he’s not a bad looking guy so he might do ok.

Jackie Chan a Koreaphile? I though he told people in Hong Kong to stop supporting the Hallyu and focus more on local entertainment?
I love Yoo Seung Joon. I miss him sooooo much. I can’t wait to see what Jackie has in store for him! I am so glad someone is doing something with him at least.

My question is would he have been called for military duties IF he didn’t go to Korea and get famous?  I’m seriously asking because how many folks that were born in Korea, move to another country actually get their military notice?

its not the fact tat he didnt goto the the army tat got him banned from korea… b4 he told koreans on interview that he was gonna goto korean army and he would be honored to serve the korean army, and everyone should serve the army and so on and so forth… then after that he went to america and got his citizenship. and the whole country felt back-stabbed by him… some people think its unfair that be got banned and it was too harsh, and some people think he got what he deserved… if you wanna see him jacked, just look at his 2nd album cd lyric book, roid+photoshoped body=WTF? is that really him?

Jackie had been known to require (sxul) favors from his starlets in return for co-starring in his films. I wouldn’t doubt if Yoo Seung Jun hasn’t already bent over for JC.
