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.”
