can everyone please retweet this? it literally doesn’t even take 3 seconds. the korean press is not reporting the latest statements from the korea taxpayers' association

[CHA EUNWOO 차은우 INTERNATIONAL @ChaEunwooINTL]

📰 Korea Taxpayers’ Association: Tax Official Bonus System Causes Administrative Distortion… ‘It Must Be Abolished’

The KTA stated that the system, introduced last March under the amended Framework Act on National Taxes, which allows tax officials to receive bonuses of up to 20M KRW per year, causes serious administrative distortions and must be abolished.

Article 84-3 of the Framework Act on National Taxes stipulates that “tax officials who have made special contributions to the assessment, collection, or litigation of national taxes may receive a reward,” and allows a bonus of up to 20M KRW or 10% of the additional taxes collected, amounts recovered through litigation, or delinquent collections.

The KTA expressed concern that this bonus system could undermine the fairness and objectivity of taxation. The association said, “Directly linking financial rewards to the performance of tax officials creates incentives for excessive taxation or aggressive audits in order to increase collection results.” They explained that “this poses a risk to the neutrality of tax administration”.

The association also argued that tax audits could instead encourage tax evasion: “In a system where collection results lead to bonuses, a strategy of ‘occasional evasion with partial collection’ may be a rational choice over ‘100% honest reporting,’” because even those who report honestly may have to pay additional taxes for the benefit of the investigating officials. “This can weaken the foundation of voluntary compliance”.

This, they said, also violates the principle of popular sovereignty. KTA emphasized, “Public officials serve all citizens,” adding that “the bonus system risks reducing taxpayers to mere tools for achieving audit targets”.

They further noted that the structure encourages after-the-fact collection rather than preventive measures. They explained, “Pre-audit guidance for honest reporting is not eligible for incentives, but high-value collections are immediately rewarded. In such cases, tax administration may become performance-driven rather than prevention-focused”.

KTA also questioned the actual revenue impact. “Even if the collected amount is later overturned in appeals or litigation, the bonus may already have been paid. Officials who lose in court years later face no real consequences, while taxpayers bear enormous time and financial costs, along with significant psychological stress”.

The association stated that the system is also inconsistent with international trends. “In the US, evaluation based on collection results or quota assignments is legally prohibited, and Sweden excludes collection performance from personnel evaluations,” the association explained. “By contrast, Korea institutionalized a performance-based reward system.”

They raised the possibility of abuse. “A bonus of up to 20M KRW is a significant financial incentive, which may lead to side effects such as the illegal leakage of tax information or excessive expansion of audit scope”.

Specifically regarding actor #CHAEUNWOO, the association commented, “The tax official who illegally leaked Cha Eunwoo’s tax information may have aimed for the bonus, expecting positive evaluation within the organization based on the apparent achievement of ‘20 billion KRW collected’ and the negative public opinion generated around high-income tax evasion”. They added, “Leaking tax information is clearly illegal, and a performance-driven system can encourage such deviations”.

Chairman Kim Seontaek said, “The Framework Act on National Taxes was hastily passed last March during the impeachment political crisis, and no lawmakers raised objections to this provision, indicating that the legislative function did not operate properly”. He continued, “High tax collections by the NTS do not necessarily represent socially desirable outcomes,” and concluded, “The bonus system must be abolished immediately”.

south korea and its corrupt tax system, eunwoo being iconic for standing up to them and making his truth count. fuck those who try to take advantage of him by forcing him to pay more when they themselves allowed the very system he has followed for years

[KoreanUpdates! @KoreanUpdates]

The three major terrestrial broadcasters, KBS, MBC, and SBS, have filed a lawsuit against the global AI platform OpenAI, seeking an injunction to cease copyright infringement and compensation for damages. They allege that OpenAI's ChatGPT utilised their news content without authorisation for training purposes, infringing on the companies' interests.

The Korean Taxpayers’ Federation is now saying out loud what fans have been pointing out from the beginning: South Korea’s tax official bonus system incentivizes overreach! 💰‼️

Under this system, National Tax Service auditors can receive personal bonuses of up to 10% of the taxes they collect, capped per person. Bigger assessments mean bigger rewards. When enforcement is tied to personal profit, fairness is no longer the goal, pressure is.

That’s exactly why fans are accusing the NTS in Cha Eunwoo’s case. A globally famous, high-income celebrity suddenly becomes the subject of a massive, headline ready tax assessment? Followed by leaks and sensational coverage before any final review. This isn’t “neutral enforcement.” It’s the predictable result of a system that rewards high value targets for NTS benefit.

A tax reassessment is NOT tax evasion. Legal income structuring is NOT a crime. Yet the NTS allowed Eunwoo to be publicly branded and humiliated while operating under a bonus system that benefits from inflated numbers and public pressure. Fans aren’t just defending him, we’re calling out a structure that rewards aggressive audits and sacrifices a person’s reputation to protect institutional power.

The Korean Taxpayers’ Federation has said the bonus system should be abolished because it encourages excessive and biased tax claims. Fans agree, and we’ve been saying this all along. When officials are rewarded for bigger numbers, fairness disappears. That’s why this system can’t be trusted and should be abolished.

[𝓶𝓮𝓵 💥 @eunwoonIy]

Fantagio is not on Eunwoo's side. They have separate lawyers. They are AGAINST each other. That's why, despite being the owner, Fantagio said they "could not confirm" the location of the restaurant. Letting the public speculate and spread misinformation about Eunwoo, when FANTAGIO is the one being shady. 🫵

[f💜ckinggreattime @_reynaking]

Water park! And why did Fantagio not clear this on day one? But let the media tarnish his name and let people bash him.

[Danielle 🎀 🩰 @DanielleMaterra]

BREAKING: Korean media now confirms the Cheongdam restaurant linked to Cha Eunwoo rumors is NOT owned by his family. It is owned by Fantagio and operated by Fantagio 🚨 ‼️⬇️

Fantagio statement:
“The currently operating ‘Eojeon Cheongdam’ is a completely different corporation from Ganghwa’s ‘Eojeon Charcoal-Grilled Eel.’ The store is operated by Fantagio M and has no relation to Cha Eunwoo’s family.”

Meaning: The company controlling the store is his agency, not a personal or family entity.

This completely destroys the narrative that Eunwoo or his family were hiding income through a restaurant or shifting money through relatives.

The original family-run Ganghwa eel restaurant was closed. Fantagio later reused the brand name under its own corporate structure. Separate owner. Separate operator. Separate legal entity.

Let’s be very clear:
When a business is owned and operated by an artist’s agency, any revenue, accounting, and tax handling falls under corporate management systems, not the individual artist’s personal control. Which means he was legally within his right to file this under corporate tax treatment for this business.

Yet multiple outlets framed it as a “family restaurant” tied to his tax issue.

That is false. Yet headlines pushed family-business implications anyway.

That is irresponsible reporting.

This matters because it confirms what many of us have been saying:
This case is about tax interpretation and classification, not concealment, not shell businesses, not “evasion.”

No court ruling.
No criminal finding.
No proven income diversion.

Media outlets that amplified unverified speculation about “family restaurants” owe corrections immediately.

Facts over rumors.
Law over headlines.
Hold media accountable ❌
