📰 Cha Eunwoo: Is It Right to Criticize Him Even After Paying 13B Won and Filing a Tax Appeal? Exercising a Basic Constitutional Right No One Can Criticize

“•Paying 13B Won in Advance: Diligent Fulfillment Without Moral Hazard

Under tax law, appealing an assessment does not automatically stay the obligation to pay taxes. If one disputes an assessment without paying on time, late payment penalties accumulate daily at a rate of 8 to 9% per year. For a major tax case worth 13B won, late payment penalties alone would amount to millions of won a day, accumulating to nearly 1B won per year in financial costs.

CHA EUNWOO fully paid the 13B won assessment without default prior to entering the legal dispute. By doing so, he completed his tax obligations without placing a burden on state finances, while directly proving through financial execution that there was no intent to evade or hold out on taxes.

In short, he chose to respect the tax authority's assessment by completing his social and legal obligations first, and only then disputing any unfair aspects. Criticizing this as moral avoidance borders on the error of denying a taxpayer's basic constitutional rights under tax law.

•The Mechanism of Tax Appeals and Administrative Lawsuits

The legal procedures taken when a corporation or high-net-worth individual disputes a tax assessment by the National Tax Service are largely divided into two stages: a tax tribunal appeal and an administrative lawsuit. Within 90 days after receiving the tax assessment notice from the NTS, Stage 1 involves filing an appeal with the Tax Tribunal; if unsatisfied with the result, it moves to Stage 2, which is an administrative lawsuit in court.

Stage 1: Tax Tribunal Procedure

This system involves specialized reviews of whether a tax assessment was illegal or unfair by the Tax Tribunal under the Prime Minister's Office—an independent third-party agency, not the NTS itself. An appeal must be filed within 90 days of receiving the tax bill, offering an opportunity to correct errors quickly within the administration before going to litigation. If the tribunal accepts the taxpayer's claim, the relevant amount out of the prepaid 13B won is refunded immediately, along with statutory refund interest.

Stage 2: Administrative Lawsuit

If the taxpayer still disputes the decision of the Tax Tribunal, this final step involves filing a lawsuit to cancel the tax assessment with the Administrative Court, part of the judiciary branch. It proceeds through a three-tier court system (District Court, High Court, and Supreme Court), where legal experts and the judiciary rigorously debate complex legal interpretations and the application of the principle of substance over form.

•Gray Zones in the Entertainment Industry and Procedural Legitimacy

In particular, one-person agencies and income distribution structures within the entertainment industry represent a typical gray zone under tax law where perspectives between tax authorities and taxpayers diverge most sharply. Matters such as the scope of actual service provision, corporate entity recognition, and potential double taxation lack clear guidelines, requiring high-level legal interpretation.

Disputing whether the tax base calculation was excessive or if any portions were unfairly taxed due to legal interpretation is a natural right guaranteed to taxpayers under tax law and the Constitution.

The fulfillment of duty and legal clarification must be strictly separated. Because state agencies that collect taxes cannot be perfect, the law puts safeguards like tax tribunals and administrative lawsuits in place to prevent unfair taxation. No one has the right to cast stones at a taxpayer who has fulfilled their obligations and seeks to avoid unfairness through legitimate procedures established by law. The actions of #CHAEUNWOO are not tax delinquency or tax avoidance, but the most diligent and legitimate exercise of rights available to a taxpayer in a rule-of-law state”

"cha eunwoo submitted a tax appeal to the tax tribunal early last month, arguing that the nts's assessment was unjust"

fighting, eunwoo 💪🏻 he has every right to stand up for himself and we'll always be with him.

i sincerely hope this gives him the strength to keep fighting for his own name and his family's, and to take legal action against anyone he believes unfairly damaged their reputation.

i'm glad he chose not to let that be the final word. standing up for himself and the people he loves takes incredible courage, especially when so many people have already made up their minds about him. i'll always be proud of him for that

📰 ‘Respecting the National Tax Service’s Results’, Cha Eunwoo’s Appeal… Why He Paid 13 Billion KRW in Full Yet Challenges the ‘Tax Assessment’

“Singer and actor Cha Eunwoo has filed an appeal against the National Tax Service’s (NTS) tax assessment after paying all of the approximately 13 billion KRW in additional tax penalties. It is reported that in early last month, Cha Eunwoo submitted a petition to the Tax Tribunal requesting the cancellation of the NTS's tax assessment amounting to approximately 13 billion KRW. The petition was reportedly submitted ahead of the 90-day appeal deadline, which runs from the date he received the tax notice from the NTS.

A tax tribunal is a procedure in which taxpayers ask the Tax Tribunal to evaluate a case before filing a court lawsuit if they determine that the NTS's tax assessment is unlawful or unfair. Therefore, Cha Eunwoo paying the additional taxes first and then requesting a tax tribunal is not a contradictory action. Cha Eunwoo’s side chose the method of fulfilling the tax payment obligation first while separately disputing the legality of the tax assessment.

Previously, in January, Cha Eunwoo became embroiled in a tax dispute when it was revealed that he had been notified by the NTS of an income tax assessment totaling around 20 billion KRW. Tax authorities reportedly took issue with the service contract and profit-sharing structure established between Fantagio and a corporation founded by Cha Eunwoo’s mother. It was reported that the authorities judged the corporation was intended to apply a corporate tax rate—which is lower than personal income tax rates—to Cha Eunwoo's income without providing substantive business operations.

However, this is the tax authorities' assessment. With Cha Eunwoo's side filing for a tax tribunal, a final conclusion regarding the ‘legality’ of the tax assessment has not yet been reached. Initially, the notification amount exceeded 20 billion KRW, but after reflecting previously paid corporate and value-added taxes, the actual payment amount was adjusted to approximately 13 billion KRW. Cha Eunwoo paid this amount in full.”

[💌] With Cha Eunwoo’s brave and rightful decision to defend his truth against the National Tax Service, many people will disagree with this action due to the complete lack of information about his reality and the silence from his current agency, Fantagio, who did nothing to clarify the situation or protect the artist, but rather contributed to the misinformation and judgment. Which is why we ask everyone to please flood his last two Instagram posts with messages. He is giving his all to clear up his situation... let’s back him up however we can!

📰 [EXCLUSIVE] It has been confirmed that singer and actor Cha Eunwoo filed an appeal with the Tax Tribunal against the National Tax Service (NTS) after paying approximately 13 billion KRW (~$10 million USD) in unpaid back taxes.

According to a comprehensive investigation by Edaily on the 2nd, Cha Eunwoo submitted a tax appeal to the Tax Tribunal early last month, arguing that the NTS's tax assessment of around 13 billion KRW was unfair. The appeal was filed right before the expiration of the deadline, which is restricted to "within 90 days" from the date of receiving the tax notice.

Cha Eunwoo’s agency, F* stated, “(Cha Eunwoo) filed for a tax appeal in accordance with legal procedures to receive a formal legal judgment,” adding, “As this is an ongoing matter, it is difficult to disclose specific details at this time.”

...An appeal is an administrative tribunal process in which a taxpayer requests the government to cancel a tax assessment on the grounds that the NTS’s imposition of taxes was incorrect. This marks the beginning of 'Round 2' of the tax battle between Cha Eunwoo and the NTS.

Industry insiders analyze that Cha Eunwoo's strategy of paying the full tax amount before filing an appeal was aimed at avoiding the heavy burden of "late payment penalties." If back taxes are not paid within the deadline after receiving a notice, a late penalty of 0.022% per day (approx. 8% annually) is incurred. If 13 billion KRW remains unpaid, the daily late charge alone exceeds 2.8 million KRW (~$2,100 USD). It is interpreted that he paid the taxes first and spent about 90 days deciding whether to file an appeal.

Reactions within the tax industry regarding Cha Eunwoo's appeal are divided. An industry insider noted, "It is a legitimate exercise of rights as a taxpayer," adding, "Even after paying the tax, an appeal can be filed if additional evidence or logic proving the unfairness of the taxation has been reinforced"...

The Tax Tribunal's final decision is highly likely to come after Cha Eunwoo completes his military service in January next year. According to the Tax Tribunal Annual Statistics, internal tax cases involving amounts between 10 billion and 20 billion KRW took an average processing time of 507 days in 2024 and 353 days in 2025, taking roughly around one year.

If the Tax Tribunal rules in Cha Eunwoo's favor, he will receive a refund for the paid taxes. If the appeal is rejected, he can file a formal lawsuit in the Administrative Court.

— NOTE: We have omitted everything sensationalized in the article to focus solely on his right as an ordinary Korean citizen to appeal the decision of the National Tax Service, and we must emphasize that several experts have previously stated that Cha Eunwoo has a high probability of winning, which would be the first step toward clearing his name.
