Amazing to me that people will criticize knetz for how they react to things but do the same thing. I don’t know who this guy is outside of he’s popular. I have no skin in this but it’s weird how quick the judgements have been. It’s such an easy case to sit back and wait for the facts.

I’ve seen this guy’s name everywhere the last few days. Searched YouTube for “Cha Eun Woo singing”. He’s an objectively terrible singer.
I have zero interest in tax evasion news stories. This seems to be a guy who is famous for being good looking? I can’t imagine someone caring about this story.

No idea how Korean taxes work but an added assessed tax of 13.6m would be a crazy amount in the US.
Usually that’s either “actually committing tax evasion” or “I added a zero to my income by mistake”

Anyone who knows anything about taxes (don’t even need to know Korean tax laws) knows he is completely cooked.
The question is, how soon, if ever, will he be able to bounce back.
