Cha Eun-woo (29, real name Lee Dong-min), a member of the group Astro and an actor, has been embroiled in a suspicion of tax evasion worth 20 billion won, and his past remarks are also being re-examined.

Cha Eun-woo had an interview with fashion magazine Marie Claire Korea in March last year. In a video released on the YouTube channel, Cha was asked, "If you are born again, you will be 10 billion rich vs. Cha Eun-woo."

Then, Cha Eun-woo smiled and said, "I will still choose 'Cha Eun-woo' in the meaning of Love Myself."

At that time, he was seen as having high self-esteem, but Cha Eun-woo's remarks are being interpreted significantly as he was informed that he was notified of a high income tax collection of 20 billion won.

Earlier in the first half of last year, the Seoul Regional Tax Office conducted a high-intensity tax investigation against Cha Eun-woo and notified him of the additional income tax of more than 20 billion won.

Cha Eun-woo's income was shared by his agency Fantagio and Cha Eun-woo, a corporation A founded by Cha Eun-woo's mother Choi. The National Tax Service believes that Cha Eun-woo and Choi used a trick to reduce income tax of 45 percent to apply a corporate tax rate that is more than 20 percent lower than the income tax rate by using a non-substantial corporation A. As a result, Fantagio was fined 8.2 billion won in August last year. Cha Eun-woo objected to the decision of the National Tax Service and requested a pre-taxation review.

In particular, it has been confirmed that the corporation under the name of the mother was an eel restaurant whose address was strengthened in the past, adding to the controversy.

Meanwhile, Cha Eun-woo joined the army in July last year and is serving as an army military band, and the scheduled discharge date is January 27, 2027.
