Actor Aden Cho, who made his name with the Netflix animation "K-pop Demon Hunters" (hereinafter "Kedeheon"), supported singer and actor Cha Eun-woo, who is currently suspected of tax evasion of 20 billion won.
On the 26th, Cha Eun-woo expressed his position on the suspicion of tax evasion and the enlistment of the escape province on his Instagram.
On this day, he said, "I am deeply reflecting on myself whether my attitude toward tax obligations was strict enough," adding, "I am currently serving in the military, but it was not an intentional choice to avoid this controversy. "Last year, I couldn't postpone my enlistment anymore, and I joined the army without completing the tax audit process," he explained.
"I want to visit everyone who would have been affected by this incident if I wasn't a soldier, and bow down and apologize," he said. "I will faithfully deal with the tax-related procedures that are going on in the future." In addition, we will humbly accept the results and fulfill our responsibilities according to the final judgment made by the relevant agency," he said.
Adenjo commented on the post, "Always supporting you dongseng, Hwaiting!"
Meanwhile, the Seoul Regional Tax Office conducted a high-intensity tax investigation against Cha Eun-woo in the first half of 2025 and notified him of the additional income tax of about 20 billion won. This is the highest amount ever collected in the entertainment industry. The National Tax Service believes that Cha Eun-woo and his mother, identified only by their surname Choi, used a trick to reduce income tax, which is 45% lower than the income tax rate, by using DANI, a non-substantial company.
Cha Eun-woo's agency Fantagio said, "The main issue is whether the corporation established by Cha Eun-woo's mother is subject to real taxation. It is a situation in which he denied, saying, "It is not a final notification."
