Penguin Sister has been banned from entering Taiwan for three years! The employment gold card has also been confiscated, and the agency reveals the reasons behind it.
South Korean streamer Penguin Girl, 柳允進 (Yoo Yoon-jin), revealed that she has been banned from entering Taiwan for three years and must wait until 2028 to return. She originally planned to develop her career in Taiwan, but during her trip around Taiwan in 2023, her agent failed to pay attention to the work permit application, which led to her being prohibited from entering and her employment gold card being canceled. Penguin Girl expressed her regret during a livestream, stating that she does not blame the Taiwanese government or her agent, but only feels frustrated about not confirming her work permit. PTT users are actively discussing this issue, pointing out the problem of working in Taiwan without applying for a permit.
The Korean streamer Penguin Sister (柳允進) recently announced her plans to debut in Taiwan; however, she unexpectedly discovered that she is banned from entering the country for three years, until 2028.
Penguin Sister stated that the reason for her entry restriction was due to her participation in an event during her 2023 trip around Taiwan, which was not authorized due to her agent's negligence, resulting in restrictions on her entry and even the cancellation of her employment gold card.
In this morning's live stream, Penguin Sister shared her experience with the title "WTF BANNED FROM TAIWAN?" and stated that she does not blame the Taiwanese government or her agency, but rather blames herself for not confirming the work permit situation.
Her agency's boss expressed frustration and regret about the situation, pointing out that the issue arose before both parties signed the contract, and that they can only accept this fact, with online activities likely being the only option for the next three years.
On PTT, netizens expressed differing opinions on this incident, with some believing it constitutes illegal behavior, while others think Taiwan is relatively lenient in this regard, criticizing actions taken without confirming work permits.
