Official Statement: Refuting MBC "Straight’s" Misleading Report
This statement serves to refute the irresponsible and misleading information presented by MBC’s investigative program "@MBCstraight" (스트레이트) concerning #CHAEUNWOO’s tax assessment case.
The report in question contains several inaccuracies that distort the reality of the situation. Following a thorough fact-check of the available data, we present the following seven points to correct the record and expose the manipulation of facts, omissions, and deceptive editing present in the broadcast.
[Fact Check: 7 Points of Fabrication and Manipulation]
1. Intentional Misidentification of Target Entities and Concealment of L&C (엘엔씨)
—The Claim: The broadcast implied the entity under investigation was "Cha’s Gallery" (차스갤러리), now known as "The Ani" (디애니).
—The Fact: The actual agency that performed legitimate management services and received the tax assessment is "L&C" (엘엔씨). MBC staged a scene visiting "The Ani" (디애니) representatives while completely concealing the name "L&C" (엘엔씨) throughout the entire broadcast. "Cha’s Gallery" (차스갤러리) is a previous entity that has long since been dissolved.
2. Deceptive Portrayal of Office Premises (The "Eel Restaurant" Frame)
—The Claim: MBC showed a 2-story eel restaurant (Building A), claiming it was a "paper company" with no office presence.
—The Fact: The site consists of four separate buildings (A, B, C, and D). While Building A is a restaurant, Building C is a fully independent, functional office space used by the agency. MBC intentionally hid the existence of Building C to push a "ghost company" narrative.
3. Fabrication of Revenue Settlement and Tax Evasion Claims
—The Claim: CHA EUNWOO bypassed personal taxes by receiving all settlement money through a one-person agency.
—The Fact: As documented in reports (Jan 22, 2026), revenue was strictly divided among three parties: FANTAGIO, CHA EUNWOO individually, and the corporation "L&C". It was not funneled exclusively into a corporation to evade taxes.
4. Malicious "800 Million KRW Loan" Frame and Omission of Repayment
—The Claim: Highlighting an 800 million KRW loan under the corporate name to frame it as speculative real estate investment.
—The Fact: MBC omitted the crucial fact that this entire loan was fully repaid within just one year, distinguishing it from cases of speculative profit-seeking.
5. Distortion of Real Estate Purpose and Brother’s Business
—The Claim: The agency purchased unnecessarily large plots of land (5,300 pyeong) for speculation.
—The Fact: The site was already an established large-scale restaurant facility long before the purchase. Furthermore, the 2025 land acquisition is related to his brother’s personal business, not CHA EUNWOO’s entertainment activities. This purchase occurred after "Cha’s Gallery" had already returned its Culture and Arts Planning Business license in 2022.
6. Concealing the True Context of "Investigation Bureau 4"
—The Claim: The deployment of the 4th Investigation Bureau proves "aggressive tax evasion."
—The Fact: The investigation actually began with Namgoong Kyun, Chairman of Mirae I&G, and stock manipulation allegations involving @fantagiogroup. CHA EUNWOO’s entity was swept into the investigation as a secondary "link" because of transactions with Fantagio, not because he was the primary target.
7. Fabrication of the Registration Timeline
—The Claim: The agency operated illegally for years before registering.
—The Fact: MBC conflated the timeline of the dissolved entity with the active one. "L&C" was legally registered for Culture and Arts Planning almost immediately upon its establishment in late 2022:
- June 15, 2022: Cha's Gallery registers.
- Oct 24, 2022: L&C is established.
- Oct 31, 2022: Cha's Gallery closes and returns license.
- Dec 2, 2022: L&C officially registers its license.

“He wouldn’t be investigated if it was only tax avoidance.”
To shed light on some facts and clear up on this misunderstanding caused by the media & community smear campaign:
1. He isn’t being criminally investigated.
2. He was going through the standard tax audit, just like any working citizens with income.
3. Under Korean tax procedure, a proposed additional tax liability are administrative processes, not criminal convictions.
4. Still at Administrative Claim Phase i.e. Pre-Tax Assessment Notice (PTAN) with NTS. At this stage, any taxpayers have the rights to request for Review of Accuracy of Tax Imposition(RATI) prior to issuance of Tax Assessment Notice (TAN). That being said, even TAN has yet to be issued to him at this point of time.
5. Following the PTAN, he has submitted the application for RATI. Essentially, in laymen term, what it actually is is that before the tax authority can officially say “you must pay this amount”, the person can ask for a review to check if the tax claim is actually fair and correct. Once this review is requested, the tax office is not allowed to finalise the TAN yet. Everything is put on hold until the review is done by a panel made up of tax officers and outside experts like professors, accountants and lawyers. They look at the case and the evidence. The taxpayer can explain their side and submit more documents. If the panel agrees that the tax claim is wrong or too much, they cancel it or reduce it and the case ends. The RATI process typically takes several months to complete.
TLDR: It’s a formal way to say “prove I actually owe this” before any tax becomes official.
6. This is what people are missing out too: Instead of negotiating for a reduced TAN like many public figures do to minimise their losses, he appears prepared to go through this RATI process which is slower, messier and far more public to reassess and challenge the basis of the additional tax, not just argue over the amount.
7. Yes, I’ve been reading and no, I didn’t simply make these facts out of nowhere. Reading suggestion to understand Korean tax procedure for non-Korean readers: Chambers Global Practice Guides
8. While serious tax evasion can lead to criminal investigation later, this is not what’s happening here currently. This is an ADMINISTRATIVE REASSESSMENT not a CRIMINAL CONVICTION.

"this case is not a case of confirmed tax evasion, but an ongoing dispute between the tax authorities and the parties involved over the interpretation of tax law. the final conclusion is expected to be determined through future due diligence and follow-up procedures"
"the core of this controversy is not the specific restaurant or the address itself, but whether the corporation established by the mother actually had an independent business entity and performed services and whether the profit structure was legal under tax law."
let's avoid speculating while the process is still ongoing. i know everyone wants answers but these things take time to be properly reviewed. treating a headline as the final truth only distorts the facts and confuses the fandom. we should focus on supporting eunwoo and waiting. and for those waiting for eunwoo's downfall, you might be waiting forever.
