Amid allegations of tax evasion related to actor Kim Sun-ho's family corporation, the current agency Fantagio has started to deal with the situation, mentioning the timing of the settlement.

Fantagio said on the 3rd, "It is correct that it has been settled temporarily (from the previous agency) since the establishment of the corporation in January 2024.

Previously, Fantagio said that Kim Sun-ho's family corporation was for the purpose of producing a play and is currently in the process of closing its business. However, it was pointed out that "if there were no business activities, there should be no cost execution," and that "if corporate cards were used and salaries were paid during the period when activities were suspended, this could be interpreted as embezzlement or breach of trust."

This is why Fantagio mentioned "the previous agency's settlement money." It is interpreted as an attempt to distance itself from the current management responsibility and corporate fund management controversy, revealing that the timing of the corporation's major profits was in the past, not the present time.

In this regard, Kim Sun-ho, a former agency official, explained to Star News, "I just deposited the settlement money to where the actor requested it." This means that it has nothing to do with detailed operations such as the purpose of establishment of a corporation or tax management.

In the end, amid a dispute over responsibility between agencies, the arrow of controversy is heading back to Kim Sun-ho, the subject of corporate management. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Sun-ho will be able to clear the suspicions by opening his own mouth.

Meanwhile, Kim Sun-ho is suspected of tax evasion by running a family corporation recently. He reportedly established a performance planning corporation at his home address in Yongsan-gu, Seoul in 2024 and listed his parents as an in-house director and auditor. In addition, it was discovered that Kim Sun-ho transferred the amount to himself after paying his parents' salary, causing a stir.

Cha Eun-woo, a member and actor of the group Astro, an agency like Kim Sun-ho, has also recently been embroiled in allegations of tax evasion. The tax authorities reportedly notified Cha Eun-woo of the additional 20 billion won after determining that he evaded income tax using a corporation in his mother's name. In particular, controversy intensified when it was revealed that the address of the corporation was registered as a restaurant in Ganghwa Island operated by his mother.

Cha Eun-woo, who is currently serving in the military, expressed his position directly on his SNS on January 26. "With this as an opportunity, I am reflecting on myself and deeply reflecting on whether my attitude toward tax obligations as a citizen of the Republic of Korea was strict enough," he said. "I will faithfully deal with the tax-related process that is going on in the future." In addition, according to the final judgment made by the relevant agency, we will humbly accept the results and fulfill our responsibilities accordingly.
