Indonesia’s immigration office released statement saying that Lee Jong Suk misused his visa for Jakarta fanmeeting. I don’t know whether it’s true or not. But if it is true, well I just hope that Indonesian citizens are smart enought not to bash the immigration office because they are clearly just doing their work. As an Indonesian myself, I’m currently pretty pissed that many Indonesian left a bunch of hateful comment towards immigration office.
But if it isn’t true and the ones at fault is the local promotor well I’m not exactly surprised because hmm corruption is nothing new let alone tax evasion.
Hope there’s a solution for his case and I jope that Lee Jong Suk doesn’t have some sort of grudge against Indonesia.

    According to Soompi, he went for a fanmeeting. The Indonesian organizers of the fanmeeting purposely didn’t report the full amount of profit (money made/tickets sold) for the fanmeeting to the government, thinking that they could pocket some of the money, that’s why the immigration office had to detain Lee Jong Suk until everything was figured out…. So it’s not the fault of the immigration office (you’re right, they’re just doing their jobs), and not Lee Jong Suk’s fault either 🙂 The fault lies in the hands of the organizers

      I actually running around the internet looking for this news.
      Just like @faraway said that the reason indonesian immigration detain him is that he using a travelling visa instead of working permit, and a visa-on-arrival at that.
      Now, no matter how you see it, it is his own fault (well, his management could be blamed too). Like, he step on the plane without a visa, let alone working permit, when working permit need to be done beforehand.
      Even if he got caught because of the promoter tax manipulation case, its still his fault.

      *and i actually read somewhere (i couldnt find it anymore tho.) That his agency said that he wasnt deported, just realeased. Indonesian immigration office said that he is deported.

        I agree with you. Not only with the visa issues, I think that the tax issues is partially his fault too since his agency is the one who choose to go with that organizer.
