◆ The full text of Cha Eunwoo
Hello, I'm Cha Eun-Woo.
I sincerely bow down and apologize for causing many people to be worried and disappointed by various things related to me recently.
Taking this opportunity, I am reflecting on myself and deeply reflecting on whether my attitude toward the duty of tax payment as a citizen of the Republic of Korea was strict enough.
Over the past few days, I have spent time reflecting on what I have to say to those who have been hurt by me to see if my apologies can be conveyed even a little bit.
I was also worried that the rambling writing would sound like an excuse or that I would give you fatigue, but I came to think that it was right for me to tell you and apologize for this issue myself.
Now I'm writing this after finishing my day in the unit. I am currently serving in the military, but it was never an intentional choice to avoid this controversy. Last year, I couldn't postpone joining the military anymore, so I joined the military without completing the tax audit process.
However, I am deeply aware of the responsibility because this is also a misunderstanding arising from my lack. If I were not a soldier, I would like to visit everyone who would have been affected by this incident and bow down and apologize, so I am writing this with all my heart.
Over the past 11 years, I have been able to be in the position of "Cha Eun-woo" because of the love and support you have generously sent me. Therefore, I am indescribably sorry for causing great hurt and fatigue to many people who have worked with me who have believed in me and supported me.
We will faithfully work on the tax-related procedures that will be carried out in the future. In addition, we will humbly accept the results and fulfill our responsibilities accordingly in accordance with the final judgment made by the relevant agency.
In the future, I will look back on myself more strictly and live with a greater sense of responsibility with a heart to repay the love I have received so far. Once again, I sincerely apologize for causing concern.

Dear Cha Eunwoo
