Jun Ji Hyun suddenly got caught up in a tax problem. On January 10, 2025, local media reported that NTS had conducted an intensive tax audit on the actress in September 2023, which resulted in a large tax imposition. This is Ji Hyun's first tax audit in nine years since 2014.
Following the audit, the "The Legend of the Blue Sea" drama star was reportedly billed to pay additional taxes worth 20 million won. Regarding the news about the additional tax, Ji Hyun's agency immediately spoke up through local media. The IEUM# agency revealed, "Jun Ji Hyun underwent a tax audit in 2023 and was confirmed to have no problems after following all legal procedures."
The agency then revealed the reason why Ji Hyun had to pay such an additional tax. "However, due to differences in interpretation between the tax accountant and NTS regarding the method of processing expenses, there were some differences in some items, resulting in an additional tax payment of around 20 million won," the agency said.
Lastly, Ji Hyun's agency stated, "This is a common occurrence in tax adjustments. Therefore, we would like to clarify that this additional tax has nothing to do with any major tax issues or illegal activities." Ji Hyun is known to have purchased a 5-story commercial building in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul for 8.6 billion KRW in 2007 and sold it for 23.5 billion KRW in 2021.
She made a profit of around 14.9 billion won from there. Then in 2022, Ji Hyun and her husband together bought a penthouse in Acro Seoul Forest, Seongsu-dong, Seoul for about 13 billion won. It is not yet known whether the actress of the drama "Jirisan" has resold the building or kept it.
On the other hand, Ji Hyun in 2025 will greet the public through a new drama titled "Tempest". The Disney+ drama tells the story of Moon Ju, a diplomat who has built an international reputation as a former ambassador to the United States.
She pursues the hidden truth behind a major case together with San Ho, a special agent of unknown nationality. In the drama, Ji Hyun will play Moon Ju, who has earned great trust from the international community through her insightful judgment and actions. She realizes that a political scheme involving North and South Korea is behind the assassination incident.
