Can you return to south Korea after being deported?
It depends on why you were deported and why you need to come back I guess, because this actor was deported for skipping out on his military service (which is mandatory unless you have an injury/illness that could prevent you from it) and was only allowed to return for his father's funeral, but they only gave him less than a week to stay. If you're deported over something like that which they view as serious, I don't think you can live there again.
