Famous South Korean actor Lee Min Ho has been accused of tax evasion, this is the response from MYM Entertainment's agency. South Korean media Star News on Thursday March 2, 2023, informed that Lee Min Ho, the main player of the drama 'The King: Eternal Monarch' was suspected of tax evasion.
The news was shared by Ajou Economy which reported that Lee Min Ho and MYM Entertainment received an irregular (special) tax audit from the investigation bureau of the Seoul Regional Tax Service. The Seoul Regional Tax Service conducted an investigation into the irregular tax in September 2020 and imposed an additional penalty of 100 million won in taxes.
MYM Entertainment as the agency that oversees Lee Min Ho then denied the artist's allegations of tax evasion. Through a statement released MYM Entertainment said that the agency and Lee Min Ho had paid taxes regularly until now and had no problems related to taxes. The following is an official statement from the MYM Entertainment agency regarding allegations of tax evasion by Lee Min Ho: “ Hello, this is MYM Entertainment.
We and actor Lee Min Ho have faithfully paid our taxes so far, and there has never been a single unpleasant incident. The current situation is an issue that has arisen due to differing interpretations of whether the artist's 'compensation of damages from the use of illegal portrait rights' is taxable, which was previously done. I have faithfully paid for this. Thank you ”.
As written by MYM Entertainment, the suspicion of tax evasion by Lee Min Ho seems to have been triggered by several well-known circles who are defaulted on taxes. Previously there was Kim Na Young, the writer of the Webtoon 'True Beauty' who was suspected of manipulating taxes that should have been paid. While MYM Entertainment's agency has denied, Lee Min Ho will comeback through the drama ' Ask the Stars ' with actress Gong Hyo Jin.
The drama 'Ask the Stars' tells the story of Gong Ryong who arrives at the space station as a tourist and experiences the process of falling in love. Lee Min Ho will play Gong Ryong, an obgyn (obstetrician). Lee Min Ho finally made a comeback after his last drama 'Pachinko' last year. High expectations are expected considering Lee Min Ho is a well-known actor in South Korea with very promising acting.
