Cha Eun-woo (29, real name Lee Dong-min), a member and actor of the group Astro, revealed the actual tax payment. It's about 13 billion won, not 20 billion won.
"Part of the (Cha Eun-woo's tax) payment will be adjusted according to the National Tax Service's refund process," the agency Fantagio told Star News on the morning of the 9th. "We were informed by the accountant that the actual burden would be about 13 billion won."
He added, "It is a procedure to receive a refund for the duplicate taxed portion of the existing corporate tax and value-added tax paid in full as personal income tax is paid."
Earlier on the 8th, Cha Eun-woo said on his Instagram, "I respect the procedures and results of the National Tax Service, and I paid all related taxes to prevent further confusion."
The National Tax Service believes that Cha Eun-woo signed a management service contract with a corporation founded by his mother and his agency Fantagio, trying to apply a lower corporate tax rate than the personal income tax rate of up to 45%. In particular, the legal address of Cha Eun-woo's mother was revealed to be an "eel restaurant" in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, where these families operated, sparking a strong controversy over "tax evasion."
Meanwhile, Cha Eun-woo joined the army in July last year and is serving as a member of an army military band. The scheduled discharge date is January 27, 2027.
