Recent updates on Astro member and actor Cha Eun-woo from several months ago were revealed late.

On the 10th, Seo Woo-jin's mother posted on her personal SNS: "Wonderfuls wrap party. Thanks to the handsome and beautiful actors, my eyes were truly treated to a feast! This was a work where our Yoo-min in the womb received proper prenatal care! Now, mother has no more wishes," sharing several selfies taken with Cha Eun-woo, Park Eun-bin, and Choi Dae-hoon.

Seo Woo-jin's mother continued, "To the warm director and staff! And to all the actors and our child actors. It was so happy to be together. Thank you♥," expressing her gratitude.

Seo Woo-jin appeared in the Netflix original series "Wonderfuls," which was released on the 15th of last month.

Cha Eun-woo enlisted in the South Korean Army as an active-duty soldier in July last year and is currently serving in the military band. His scheduled discharge date is January 27 next year.

Recently, he faced allegations of evading taxes amounting to approximately 20 billion won.

Last year, the Seoul Regional National Tax Service's Investigation Bureau 4 conducted a rigorous tax investigation against Cha Eun-woo and his agency Fantagio. The National Tax Service determined that the company A, established under Cha Eun-woo's mother's surname Choi, was essentially a "paper company" with no actual substance. It was reported that Cha Eun-woo evaded taxes by distributing high-income revenue from advertising model fees and appearance fees, which should have been attributed to him, through a fictitious service contract between Company A and his agency, thereby applying the relatively lower corporate tax rate instead of the personal income tax rate of up to 45%.

Consequently, the National Tax Service notified Cha Eun-woo of a tax reassessment amounting to 20 billion won, which is the largest tax reassessment case in the history of Korean entertainers. It was reported that Cha Eun-woo paid all the taxes notified last month. The amount Cha Eun-woo paid is believed to be around 13 billion won. It appears that some of the corporate income tax and value-added tax paid earlier were recognized as double taxation, resulting in a refund.
