Actor Kim Seon Ho is becoming the focus of criticism when Sports Kyunghyang released a series of suspicious evidence that he established a family business unit for the purpose of profiteering taxes and illicit personal spending.
A series of unusual signs from "one-person legal entity"
According to investigations from the Korean press, Kim Seon Ho established a separate legal entity in January 2024. Notably, the entire executive cast of this organization are relatives of the actor's family.
The press agency has pointed out 3 serious irregularities that caused public opinion to stir up: "Virtual" headquarters: The organization's business registration place completely coincides with the actor's home address. Fake workers: Suspected of paying salaries to "ghost" employees to false expenses, thereby cutting the amount of personal income tax to be paid.
Credit card profiteering: The actor is suspected of abusing the organization's credit card to pay for personal needs unrelated to work.
Explanation from the management company
Immediately after the information broke, Fantagio – Kim Seon Ho's current management unit – denied all allegations of tax evasion. The organization affirmed that the above legal entity was established only for the purpose of theater and theater activities, with absolutely no intention of tax evasion.
On Kim Seon Ho's side, the representative of the unit emphasized: "Kim Seon Ho has always fully complied with legal procedures and tax obligations in his personal name since signing the contract with us."
The move to dissolve is questionable
Another controversial episode is the fact that Kim Seon Ho's own legal entity has actually stopped operating for more than a year now. It is worth mentioning that right in the middle of the time when tax questions were raised, this unit was carrying out urgent dissolution procedures.
Although Fantagio explained that this was a legal process after the actor moved to a new management unit, this move still made the public question whether this was a way to "wipe out traces" before the authorities entered into a deeper inspection.
Currently, although Kim Seon Ho's side affirms his purity, the reputation of the "male screen god" is still being severely affected. Fans are waiting for official conclusions from the tax authorities to clarify the truth of this "circumvention" story.
Notably, Kim Seon Ho is not the only star of the Fantagio "house" that falls under the radar of the public during this rigorous inspection. Cha Eun Woo — the male artist of the same organization and equally popular name — is currently facing similar tax evasion charges through an unusually family organization model. The coincidence of the timing and operation of the "one-person legal entity" of the two makes the public skeptical of an organized system of "circumventing the law" within the artists under this management company.
However, the point that makes the media especially swirl deeply is the completely opposite attitude of the two male gods in the face of the scandal. While Kim Seon Ho's side gave a series of explanations and quickly proceeded with the dissolution procedure as a move to "erase traces", Cha Eun Woo chose a more direct approach. The male idol born in 1997 soon made a statement that he would sincerely cooperate absolutely with the tax authorities, and at the same time affirmed his willingness to humbly accept all judgments and fully fulfill financial responsibility if there is a mistake.
