A Korean YouTuber and former Korean Navy officer who went to Ukraine to help the country fight the war against Russia is facing imprisonment in South Korea after he and two colleagues violated a government-imposed travel ban.
Rhee Ken, 37, and his two companions went to Ukraine. He announced on March 6 that he was leaving for Ukraine to be a volunteer soldier. They arrived in Ukraine on March 7.He runs the YouTube channel Rokseal and is a founder of the military consulting firm Rokseal.
Last Feb. 12, the Korean government imposed a Level 4 restriction for all Korean nationals from going to Ukraine starting on Feb. 13 due to the situation in that country. The Korean government may order Rhee to return his passport. If not returned, the passport will be canceled. Rhee’s application for a new passport may be rejected or restricted.
The foreign ministry filed a complaint with the police on March 10 against Rhee and his two companions.
