Lee Seung-hwan came to the United States on the 16th for his nephew's wedding. Of course, they were not denied entry by the CIA or HTML."
"I knew that the niece couple had prepared carefully for a long time, but I wondered if there would be another wedding that would be so beautiful, pleasant, and touching."He congratulated his nephew on his marriage, saying, `I believe that all the guests have received their hearts and their love.'
Lee Seung-hwan has strongly criticized President Yoon for leading the December 3 emergency martial law by performing at the Yoon Suk Yeol Impeachment Candle Culture Festival held in front of the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Seoul, on December 13 last year.
Since then, some conservative online communities have moved "Let's report pro-impeachment celebrities to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)." The intention was to make US immigration screening difficult or prevent the issuance of ESTA, a visa-free entry program, by driving pro-North Korean forces or anti-American.
In addition to Lee Seung-hwan, Kim Yoon-ah of Jaurim, who voiced the waterproofing of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, and singer IU, who participated in the pre-payment of the impeachment rally, were the targets.
However, the claim of being restricted from entering the United States due to CIA reports was not true. The U.S. visa and stay are under the jurisdiction of the State Department, not the CIA, and the U.S. Embassy in Korea once said that `the CIA does not judge U.S. visa and immigration applications.'
In response to the controversy, Jaurim dismissed it as "not true" and said "We are discussing a future schedule for the postponement of the performance."
