it may be a hot take but I actually agree with him;
I can absolutely understand that people will point out at him that he dodged military service and it’s definitely not fair for other men but how can be a punishment be a damn permanent ban from his home country? Like.. really?
Especially because he also renounced his citizenship, he is de facto already a foreigner at this point so just treat him like an average person who wants to go the country;
Isn’t it enough that the government and the media highly publicized this topic, making him a public scapegoat and then the government is doing a double down on it and denying him access to his home country forever is honestly just bullying supported by the government?
What if you’re not okay with holding a weapon for personal beliefs and decide to renounce your citizenship (which is not an easy decision for anyone) and at the end you get banned from ever visiting your home again.. it is embarrassing in my opinion for Korea.
