The US visa for Kim Tae-won (59), leader and guitarist of the rock band Buwhal, was denied.
In the 71st episode of TV Chosun’s variety show ‘Lover of Joseon’ aired on the 17th, Kim Tae-won visited a US visa specialist law office.
He had to attend his daughter’s wedding in the US, but his US visa was denied.
During a consultation with a lawyer, Kim Tae-won said, “I applied for a performance visa last March and it was denied,” also revealing that subsequent ESTA applications were not approved. ESTA is a visa-free entry system for those visiting the US for short stays.
The lawyer pointed out, “If there is a visa denial record, (ESTA) is automatically denied.”

Kim Tae-won asked if his past marijuana smoking record was a reason for visa denial. Kim Tae-won served sentences for marijuana smoking in 1987 and 1991.
The visa expert there said, “(In the visa documents from last March) it says ‘we’ll forgive that (record)’, indicating that they believe the (visa) interview wasn’t handled properly,” he assumed.

Kim Tae-won said, “I tried to look at what I had written down (for answers as reference) but they told me not to,” adding “they might’ve thought I was fabricating answers from their standpoint.”

The lawyer mentioned that a tourist visa could be a last resort, but “(The refusal rate for tourist visas) is over 50%,” warning that accumulating visa rejections makes it harder to enter the US.
The expert advised, “Due to a visa denial history, more preparation for the (tourist visa interview) is needed,” suggesting there will be many questions about his daughter’s wedding.
