Unlike actor Kim Sun-ho (40), who was jumping on suspicion of tax evasion, he changed his posture, saying that he made a mistake in "ignorance." He acknowledged the mistakes related to the operation of a single-person corporation and publicly apologized.

Kim Sun-ho was recently suspected of intentionally avoiding taxes through a performance agency corporation in the form of family management. He listed himself as the CEO and his parents as the inside director and auditor. The corporation was not registered in the pop culture and arts planning business, and the address was the same as Kim Sun-ho's home in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, raising suspicions of a "paper company." 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.

As the controversy over "trick saving" spread, Kim Sun-ho eventually bowed his head through his agency Fantagio on the 4th. On the 1st, Kim Sun-ho signed an exclusive contract with Fantagio under his personal name and is faithfully complying with legal and tax procedures regarding his current contractual relationship or activities. Kim Sun-ho's past single-person corporation mentioned in the report was established for theater production and theater-related activities, the second announcement of his position after refuting that it was "never established for the purpose of deliberate tax savings or tax evasion."

First, Fantagio said, "Kim Sun-ho established a corporation in January 2024 for acting activities and theater production. "We have received settlement payments from the corporation for activities from the establishment of the corporation in January 2024 to the start of a new contract with Fantagio in February 2025," he explained.

Soon after, they said, "After Kim Seon-ho recognized that the operation of the corporation itself could be misleading, the corporation stopped operating and practically no activities were conducted through the corporation for more than a year," adding, "Fantagio and Kim Sun-ho have been paying the settlement directly to individual actors since the date of signing the exclusive contract in February 2025. I would like to make it clear that there is no relationship with the corporation regarding the contract process and activities between Fantagio and Kim Sun-ho."

In particular, Kim Sun-ho showed an attitude of reflection, saying that he committed the wrong behavior resulting from "ignorance," unlike in the first statement. Through his agency, "Kim Seon-ho returned all past corporate card usage details, family benefits, and corporate vehicles as a preemptive measure to correct the operation of the corporation, which was ignorant at the time. For the amount settled in the past through the corporation, personal income tax has been additionally paid in addition to the corporate tax paid. The corporate closure process is in progress and the administrative process will be completed soon. Kim Sun-ho deeply reflects on establishing and maintaining the corporation for about a year without a sufficient understanding of the operation of the corporation. "I bow down and say sorry," he said, explaining that he changed his words.

Fantagio also showed a different temperature difference. They said, "We also apologize for the confusion and concern we caused. Since then, we will do our best to manage the overall activities of our actors more closely," he apologized.

In addition to the alleged tax evasion, Kim Sun-ho caused a private life scandal with his ex-lover in 2021, turning the entertainment industry upside down. In particular, Kim Sun-ho, can you translate this love for the recent global OTT Netflix original series?It added to the public's disappointment as he led the attention with his role as a Ju Ho-jin in '. Can you interpret this love?After its debut on the 16th of last month, it rose to No. 1 in the non-English show category, and the main character Kim Sun-ho poured cold water on its popularity.

However, Kim Sun-ho continues his activities amid controversy. He will be on stage with the play 'Secret Passage: INTERVAL', which opens on the 13th. In addition, Kim Sun-ho is scheduled to have a series of next films this year, including OTT Disney+ original series, Unfriend, and tvN's new drama, Senator Bowhasa.
