The National Tax Service is considering launching an investigation into Kim Soo Hyun, following a report recently submitted. The report, which has garnered attention on various online platforms, originated from a user on the DC Inside forum, who raised suspicions of tax evasion against Kim Soo Hyun. The National Tax Service has validated the report as credible.
The individual who reported the potential tax evasion provided evidence in the form of a graph illustrating the profit trends of the company over the past four years. They also highlighted a breach of trust concerning 700 million KRW ($479,000) linked to Kim Sae Ron, along with capital trends of the related company and the gallery owner. The reporter expressed uncertainty about the outcome but mentioned anomalies in the advertisement revenue estimates from the previous year as a reason for the report.
Another user explained that a "valid" status on a tax evasion report indicates that the information has been reviewed and acknowledged as legitimate, prompting a tax audit or investigation. They also mentioned the possibility of a reward for the person reporting if the additional tax imposed exceeds 50 million KRW ($34,000), varying based on the amount.
Korean internet users are now eagerly awaiting updates on a potential audit of Kim Soo Hyun and his company. Reactions from netizens range from admiration for the person who reported the suspected tax evasion to comments on the implications for Kim Soo Hyun, with hopes of justice prevailing in the situation.
