While controversy over celebrity tax evasion has disappointed the public one after another, actor Oh Yeon-soo was praised for paying taxes faithfully.

Oh Yeon-soo recently announced on his YouTube that he received a commendation from the head of the local tax office on the occasion of the 60th Taxpayer's Day. The released video attracts attention as it shows Oh Yeon-soo, who was selected as a model taxpayer and received a citation at a taxpayer day ceremony held on the 3rd of last month.

Oh Yeon-soo, who received the citation on the day, said, "When I was in school, I didn't even receive a perfect attendance award, but I received a national award for the second time. It's a model taxpayer award that pays well in taxes," he said. Oh Yeon-soo said he received the commendation 23 years ago when he was pregnant with his second child, and laughed, "I only paid well for the tax, but I will continue to pay well for such a big award."

The citation released by Oh Yeon-soo said, "You not only contributed to the national finance by faithfully fulfilling your tax obligations, but also contributed to the establishment of an advanced tax culture, so I commend you."

Oh Yeon-soo's disclosure of the "exemplary taxpayer award" commendation seems to be an example, coupled with various controversies over tax evasion by celebrities that have recently emerged. As she said, she just paid well for taxes, but the public's favorable reviews are pouring in for her sincere payment without considering a trick.

Because celebrities' income is different from ordinary office workers and their tax rates are different, it is easy to be swayed by the temptation of tax evasion following tax savings when they become stars. However, in the end, as stars are loved by the public, sincere payment is the way for a long run.

Representatively, broadcaster Yoo Jae-seok pays a lot of taxes, but he pays them faithfully without making any fuss about such savings. Yoo Jae-seok, who knows how important "image" is to stars, paid at the risk of a tax rate that was unfavorable to him in order not to create controversy over tax savings or tax evasion at all, and even if the National Tax Service conducts a strict investigation, there is no controversy at all.The reason for his long run can be seen in his attitude to properly pay taxes on profits received from sincerity and public love.

For ordinary office workers, taxes are 'taken' from the country rather than 'paying'. The amount is different, but just paying taxes normally like this is praised by the public.

Meanwhile, Oh Yeon-soo married fellow actor Son Ji-chang in 1998 and has two sons.
