JAKARTA - Cha Eun Woo is back to being the subject of controversy because of his photo shoot. Recently, he is rumored to have made a photo shoot titled Afterimage which will take place in Ginza, Tokyo, from March 28 to May 12.
This news emerged amid Eun Woo handling a tax evasion case that he and his agency committed. Fantagio agency also explained and confirmed that the show was indeed made.
"This event is a project that has been running since the contract was signed in August 2024 and is being carried out according to the schedule agreed upon at that time," said Fantagio as Cha Eun Woo's agency.
Because the artist is undergoing military service, he cannot attend the event. The agency also did not explain the status related to the tax case he experienced.
Previously on January 22, Cha Eun Woo was investigated for evading tax payments of up to 20 billion won. Together with his family, he is suspected of setting up a shell company so as not to pay a total tax that is larger and that violates tax rules in South Korea.
The tax payment was adjusted to the artist's own income. Cha Eun Woo is said to have minimized the amount of tax by creating several companies because corporate taxes are smaller than individuals.
In his letter, he apologized to the public for this situation which made fans feel difficult. He also ensured that he would participate in the tax procedures that were carried out for the future.
"Moreover, I will wisely accept the decision of the relevant authorities and be responsible," said the True Beauty actor.
"The issue being discussed is already in the fact-finding stage which is being examined according to procedures by tax authorities and both agencies and artists are very cooperative with the investigation required for both parties," Fantagio said.
