📰 According to an exclusive report by Hankyung, #CHAEUNWOO has officially paid the full amount of the additional tax assessment issued by the National Tax Service. He was initially notified of an additional tax bill of approximately 20 billion won, but the actual out-of-pocket payment he made was around 13 billion won.
The additional taxes were reclassified as personal income tax. Authorities determined that his earnings should have been taxed at the individual income tax rate (up to 45%) rather than the lower corporate tax rate previously applied through a separate corporation established by his mother.
The final payment was reduced to approximately 13 billion won due to tax offsets for duplicate payments. Since corporate tax and value-added tax (VAT) had already been paid on the same earnings through his personal agency, those amounts were credited or refunded. Therefore, the 13 billion won represents the net additional amount required to fulfill his personal income tax obligations.
— Note: legally, this is considered a tax adjustment or correction, not evasion, because there was no intent to conceal income or avoid paying taxes.

eunwo.o_c IG update:
Hello, this is Cha Eunwoo.
I sincerely bow my head in apology for causing many people worry and disappointment due to various recent matters related to me.
Through this incident, I am deeply reflecting on myself and questioning whether my attitude toward fulfilling my duty as a citizen of the Republic of Korea particularly my obligation to pay taxes was sufficiently strict and responsible.
Over the past several days, I have spent time reflecting, thinking carefully about what I should say first so that even a small part of my remorse could be conveyed to those who were hurt because of me.
I worried that a long explanation might sound like an excuse or cause further fatigue, but I ultimately came to believe that it was my duty to speak directly and offer my apology regarding this matter.
As I write this, I have just finished my daily duties within my unit. Although I am currently serving in the military, this was by no means an intentional choice to avoid this controversy. Last year, I reached a point where I could no longer postpone my military enlistment and therefore enlisted before fully concluding the tax audit process.
However, since this misunderstanding also stems from my own shortcomings, I feel a deep sense of responsibility. If I were not serving as a soldier, I would want to personally visit everyone who may have been affected by this issue and bow my head in apology. With that same sincerity, I am writing these words now.
For the past 11 long years, despite being someone with more shortcomings than strengths, I have been able to stand in the undeserved position of “Cha Eun-woo” today thanks to the boundless love and support you have given me. Because of that, even if I cannot properly repay all those who trusted and supported me, as well as the many people I have worked with, I feel indescribably sorry for causing such great hurt and exhaustion.
I will faithfully comply with all future tax-related procedures. In addition, I will humbly accept the final decision made by the relevant authorities and fully take responsibility in accordance with that outcome.
Going forward, I will hold myself to even stricter standards and live with a greater sense of responsibility, striving to repay the love I have received.
Once again, I sincerely apologize for causing concern.
January 26, 2026
Sincerely,
Cha Eunwoo
[💌] A quick reminder
Hi everyone. We know a lot of fans have been feeling anxious lately, so we just wanted to say thank you for all the support and care you’ve been showing.
At the same time, please don’t forget to take care of yourselves too.
There’s been a lot of information and a lot of discussion going around, but more updates don’t always mean something important is happening, and quiet days don’t automatically mean something is wrong either.
These things take time. It’s a process, and it will move at its own pace.
So please try to stay calm, take breaks when you need them, and put your mental health first.
Let’s continue waiting with patience and steady trust 💙!
