After checking with him, we have learned that he responded in good faith to the tax investigation conducted by the Seoul Regional Taxation Office Investigation Bureau No. 2 in September 2023 as part of a non-regular integrated planning tax investigation of corporate businesses and artists.
I would like to inform you that this is not an investigation into suspected tax evasion. I have filed my tax return in good faith, following the advice of my tax agent, and have received additional tax payments due to differences in opinion between the tax authorities and my tax agent.
I have paid my taxes. This was the first irregular tax audit I have received in 17 years since I started my career, and I have followed the laws and procedures set by the tax authorities and paid any taxes that were not agreed upon. There are no allegations of intentional tax evasion.
We would like to state that Lee Junho has been active for a long time since his debut and has been faithful to his tax obligations, and there are no suspicious matters regarding his taxes. Thank you.
