Following Cha Eun-woo (29, real name Lee Dong-min), a member and actor of the group Astro, Kim Sun-ho (40) went through the process of closing a "one-person agency" in the form of family management. The addresses were 'Eeljip' and 'House', respectively.

On the 4th, it was confirmed that yesterday's charcoal eel restaurant, run by Cha Eun-woo's parents, closed at the end of last year. This is a place that has been suspected of being home to tax evasion worth 20 billion won. It is an eel restaurant in Ganghwa Island, Incheon, which Cha Eun-woo introduced several times in the past, calling it a "single-goal restaurant," and it turned out that it was a restaurant run by Cha Eun-woo's parents, and it was controversial because it coincided with the address of the "one-person agency" family that Cha Eun-woo received personal settlement payments. Suspicions spread that "Isn't it a paper company?" and sparked controversy over Cha Eun-woo's "tax evasion worth 20 billion won."

However, suspicions were raised that the eel restaurant was relocated and reopened in Ganghwa-do, Incheon, under the name "Yesterday Yeon Cheongdam" in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul at the end of last year. However, Cha Eun-woo's family management corporation, 'Yesterday's Charcoal Grilled Eel', was closed, and this 'Yesterday's Cheongdam' was found to be operated by Cha Eun-woo's agency, Fantagio's subsidiary.

Fantagio said in Star News on the 4th, "Yesterday's smoke Cheongdam, which is currently in operation, is a completely different corporation from yesterday's smoke charcoal eel in Ganghwa Island." They then announced, "Yesterday's Yeonjung Cheongdam is operated by a 100% Fantagio subsidiary called Fantagio M."

Along with Cha Eun-woo, actor Kim Sun-ho from Fantagio, who is embroiled in a "suspicious tax evasion," also reported the closure of a single-person agency. Like Cha Eun-woo, Kim Sun-ho has been operating a family-run corporation, and his address is the same as his "home" address in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, raising suspicions that he established a paper company for tax avoidance purposes. It was also confirmed that it was not registered in the pop culture and arts planning business.

In addition, suspicions were raised such as breach of trust and embezzlement that Kim Sun-ho's parents received salaries of millions to tens of millions of won through corporate banks, the vehicles they were driving were in the name of the corporation, and that his father used his corporate card for living and entertainment expenses such as cigarette prices and payment for karaoke bars.

On the 3rd, it was revealed that Kim Sun-ho received settlement money for entertainment activities from his former agency through the family corporation in this matter. Personal income is charged up to 49.5%, including local taxes, but if the settlement is treated as corporate income, a corporate tax rate of up to 19% will be applied, resulting in a difference in tax rates.

In the end, Kim Sun-ho admitted his mistake through his agency on the 4th and publicly apologized. Fantagio said, "As a preemptive measure to correct the operation of the corporation, which was ignorant at the time, Kim Seon-ho returned all past corporate card usage details, family benefits, and corporate vehicles. For the amount settled in the past through the corporation, personal income tax has been paid additionally in addition to the corporate tax paid previously, he said, adding, "The corporate closure process is in progress." The administrative process will be completed soon," he said.

They then said, "Kim Seon-ho deeply reflects on establishing and maintaining the corporation for about a year without a sufficient understanding of the operation of the corporation. We bow down and apologize," he said. "We also apologize for the confusion and concern we caused. Since then, I will do my best to manage the overall activities of my actors more closely."
