"All the moments we shared
Are not going anywhere
Never quite understood it when you told me
Just close your eyes
And I'll be right by your side
Cause memories don't say goodbye"
Miss you more than anything binnie
I donโt usually talk about April 19. Itโs a day that still sits heavy in my chest, like a quiet ache that never fully leaves.
I remember waking up to the news, the kind that doesnโt fully register at firstโฆ like your heart knows before your mind can catch up. Everything felt still and wrong. I live in LA and knowing Eunwoo was also here too at the time, so far from home, made me panicked. My thoughts kept drifting thinking this canโt be real. This has to be a misunderstanding. I thought of Eunwoo being here at a time like this, wondering how lonely that moment must have felt.
Just the night before, I had been leaving messages for Bin on Weverse. I lit a candle and sat there for a long time, just crying. It was one of the hardest days Iโve ever experienced in this fandom.
But I also remember how we came together. Spaces filled with prayer, people from all over the world holding each other up. That kind of love stays with me.
I donโt speak about this day often because itโs still hardโฆ but today I wanted to speak about our Moonbin. The pain hasnโt gotten easier with time but having all of you to lean on has always brought me comfort.
Letโs lean on each other today.
We love and miss you our Moon ๐๐ค
3 years ago today, the most precious Moonbin left us. wherever you are now, we hope youโve found peace and happiness. weโre wishing strength and comfort to your loved ones, especially sua, astro, and everyone who holds you close in their hearts today, you are deeply missed ๐ฉท
๐ โwhen it comes to april, so many things come up on my mind because it was around this time when i had to send my friendโฆ i want to do [dandelion stage] with all my heart. i cried a bit yesterday, but i managed to get through well todayโ

๐ฐ Cha Eunwoo-related case: current attorney says assessment of โdelayed paymentโ is inappropriate
Legal circles have stated that framing the tax issue involving singer and actor #CHAEUNWOO as โtax evasionโ is inappropriate. Kim Chaeeun, an attorney at the law firm Sedam, analyzed that the matter was not an intentional tax evasion but a legitimate procedural response challenging the legality of the assessment prior to the issuance of a tax notice.
Attorney Kim stated, โThe National Tax Service did not refer Cha Eunwoo on charges of tax evasion, nor did it impose additional penalties for underreporting with fraudulent intent,โ adding, โIt is difficult to view this as tax evasion, which requires intent and fraudulent activity.โ She explained that tax evasion is established only when intent and fraudulent conduct are recognized, and in this case, such conditions were not confirmed.
Regarding allegations of โdelayed paymentโ raised by some, she emphasized that legal procedures must be taken into account. Kim explained, โThe pre-assessment review filed by Cha Eunwoo is not an appeal process after taxes have been finalized, but a system to dispute the legality of taxation before the issuance of a tax notice.โ She added, โWhile this procedure is ongoing, the tax amount is not finalized and no tax bill is issued, making payment practically impossible.โ She further noted, โThe reportedly 20 billion won tax amount was not a confirmed figure prior to this review, so characterizing it as delayed payment is inappropriate.โ
In fact, the pre-assessment review is a procedure that allows taxpayers to raise objections before the National Tax Serviceโs formal tax disposition, and depending on the outcome, the tax assessment and amount may be adjusted. Until this process is completed, the tax obligation is not finalized, so payment is typically made only after receiving the official notice.
Kim further stated, โThe pre-assessment review system allows taxpayers to request a review of the tax authorityโs judgment in advance, serving as a mechanism to ensure the appropriateness of taxation,โ adding, โIt is regrettable that such lawful exercise of taxpayersโ defense rights is being stigmatized in some media reports.โ

๐ฐ Cha Eunwooโs actions were a reasonable defense, not a deceptive tactic, aimed at preventing additional penalties
On the 9th, lawyer and accountant Kim Myung-gyu posted on his social media a โKind Explanatory Version for Non-Experts: Cha Eunwoo Editionโ.
He stated, โReports claim that he paid 13 billion won rather than 20 billion won in taxes, and public opinion is negative regarding why the payment is only being made now. (If the factual details regarding the amount are correct), this is not technically โtax,โ but a 13 billion won tax assessment (additional levy). This is not a late payment, but rather the execution of payment according to proper procedural timing.โ
He continued, โIt is not that he failed to pay during this time, but that he could not. #CHAEUNWOO was undergoing a pre-assessment review procedure with the National Tax Service. This is a process in which the taxpayer requests a review of the legality of the assessment before official taxation (issuance of a tax notice).โ
He added, โUntil this review is completed, no formal tax notice is issued. After the recently requested pre-assessment review was completed, the tax assessment was finalized, and he simply made payment according to the official notice issued thereafter.โ
Kim explained, โIf payment is not made after receiving the official notice, a late payment penalty of 0.022% per day (approximately 8% annually) is applied. If the 13 billion won is an assessed tax, the principal tax would likely be around 6.5 to 9 billion won. Roughly estimated at 7.5 billion won, about 600 million won in penalties would accrue each year.โ
He further emphasized, โIn tax disputes, the standard procedure is to first pay the full assessed amount to prevent additional penalties from accumulating, and then proceed with a challenge through the Tax Tribunal or administrative litigation. This is not a deceptive tactic unique to Cha Eunwoo; it is a standard and reasonable defense procedure used in corporate and individual tax disputes.โ

Letโs break this down simply because thereโs still a lot of misinformation. Eunwoo was initially reported to owe around 20 billion won (around $14 million USD) but that was not the final amount assessed.
In simple terms, some of that total included taxes that were overlapping. Meaning parts of his income were being taxed in more than one way. For example like personal income tax and company related taxes at the same time.
Some of the tax amount was mistakenly double counted on the NTS end. After reviewing everything and fixing those overlaps, some money was refunded bringing the final paid amount down to about 13 billion won (around $9 million USD). He has already paid everything in full, which says a lot about his integrity.
Letโs be clear that this is not and was NEVER tax evasion because there were no criminal charges and no proven intent to hide or avoid taxes. Instead, authorities issued an additional tax assessment which is an administrative process used when there are differences in how taxes are calculated. Cha Eunwoo fully cooperated, requested a legal review (which is his right), and paid the assessed amount in full, showing compliance NOT evasion.
If youโve looked into Korean taxation laws at all, youโll know there are significant gray areas, especially around one person agencies and income classification of many SK entertainers. So much so that legislators are actively holding assemblies and seminars to address these exact issues, to prevent artists from being put in situations like this due to unclear and evolving regulations.
Not to mention, his tax information was leaked illegally, and those responsible should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. As fans, we stand by him with full support, always.
He handled everything responsibly, and has now paid the final assessed amount in full. The misinformation ends here and now we move forward with Eunwoo, with love, respect, and support ๐ค
#CHAEUNWOO #์ฐจ์์ฐ
Under Korean tax law, payment isnโt even possible until the National Tax Service issues an official notice.
As stated in the Framework Act on National Taxes, Article 15 (Notice of Tax Payment):
โWhen a national tax is to be collected, the head of the tax office shall notify the taxpayer of the tax amount and payment deadline.โ
This means taxes must be formally assessed and notified first. You cannot pay an unconfirmed or estimated amount.
Under the Framework Act on National Taxes, Article 81-15:
โA taxpayer may request a review before a tax assessment is finalized.โ
During this period, the amount is still being reviewed and can change, which is why the widely reported 20 billion won amount was only an estimate, not a final bill.
Once the official notice was issued and the final amount (13 billion won) was determined, he paid immediately, exactly as the law allows.
Whatโs frustrating is that this is clearly outlined in Korean tax law and was known from the beginning, yet many media outlets failed to explain it properly.
Fans have spent months researching and clarifying these basic legal procedures. Something the press should have done before publishing misleading narratives.
I hope this situation is now moving in a more positive direction, and that people better understand the process so itโs clear Eunwoo was not doing what he was accused of.
#CHAEUNWOO #์ฐจ์์ฐ
๐ฐ 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.
โ Note: legally, this is considered a tax adjustment or correction, not evasion, because there was no intent to conceal income or avoid paying taxes.
