What has Cha Eun Woo's side stated?
According to The Chosun Daily, Cha Eun Woo's side stated, “The main issue is whether the corporation established by Cha Eun-woo’s mother qualifies as a substantive taxation target. This has not been finalised or officially notified yet. We plan to actively explain the legal interpretation and application issues through proper procedures. The artist and tax agent will cooperate sincerely to expedite the process.”
Cha’s side has requested a tax assessment review to challenge the appropriateness of the National Tax Service’s decision. They argued, "Due to frequent changes in Fantagio’s representatives, Cha’s mother, feeling anxious about her son’s entertainment activities and determined to protect him, established the company to directly manage his career. It is a formally registered entertainment planning company, not a paper company."
However, the address of the management company established by his mother, registered as a popular culture and arts planning business on June 15, 2022, is Tongjin-eup, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do. The company’s address is known to be the building of an eel restaurant operated by the mother in Ganghwa-do, Incheon.
