Singer Yoo Seung-jun addressed those who post negative comments about him in a recent video.
On May 13, he uploaded a video titled "Do you still believe I cursed? Yoo Seung-jun finally speaks out. A quiet message for those who still criticize me" on his YouTube channel.
In the video, Yoo said, "Please stop posting negative comments. I may not be that mentally weak, but who wouldn’t feel hurt when seeing such comments?" He added, "Even if someone is in a situation where they deserve criticism, it doesn’t mean we should make things harder for them or wish for their unhappiness. That’s not right."
He emphasized, "There are words that can uplift people and words that can support them. Why would you mock or insult someone who is trying to carry the weight of their life? It’s not like you want to see their life completely fall apart, right?"
Yoo urged, "You don’t have to say those things to me. I hope you choose to speak kindly and wish well for others."
He also clarified the profanity controversy that arose during an internet broadcast in 2015, stating, "It was the voice of the producer at that time, not mine."
Yoo Seung-jun debuted in April 1997 and lost his South Korean citizenship after obtaining U.S. citizenship following a trip abroad for a performance in 2002.
