Actress Jun Ji-Hyun recently addressed reports about paying additional taxes following a tax audit. On February 10, a media outlet revealed that she had paid a significant amount after being audited by the National Tax Service in 2023.
In response, her agency, Eumhashtag, clarified that the audit confirmed there were no major issues with her taxes. They stated that everything was reviewed through the proper process, and no serious concerns were found.
However, they acknowledged a difference in interpretation regarding certain expenses. The agency explained that the tax accountant and the National Tax Service had differing views on handling specific expenses, leading to an additional tax payment of about 20 million won.
They emphasized that this was a standard adjustment and not related to any tax evasion or illegal activities. The agency assured that such differences in tax interpretation are common and do not indicate wrongdoing.
