Cha Eun Woo Appeals National Tax Service Assessment After Paying Back Taxes
South Korean singer-actor Cha Eun Woo of K-pop group ASTRO has appealed a tax assessment by the National Tax Service months after paying approximately 13 billion KRW in back taxes. His agency, Fantagio, confirmed the appeal was filed to seek an independent legal review of the tax authority's decision. The appeal follows a large additional tax demand after an audit, which was reportedly one of the highest levied on an individual artist. Details remain limited due to ongoing proceedings.
