Cha Eunwoo apologizes for the tax evasion controversy
Taking to his social media handle, the idol issued a formal apology for causing people worry and disappointment. Not only that, but he also mentioned that the matter has forced him to evaluate his role as a Korean tax-paying citizen. His statement further read, “I am currently writing this after finishing my daily duties within the military unit. Although I am serving in the military at present, this was by no means an intentional choice to avoid this controversy. Last year, circumstances arose where I could no longer delay my enlistment, and as a result, I entered the military without being able to fully conclude the tax investigation procedures.”He further added that no matter what, he will fully comply with any tax-related investigative procedures in order to clear the matter as soon as possible. “Going forward, I will look upon myself with even greater strictness, and with a heavier sense of responsibility, living in a way that seeks to repay the love I have received,” he concluded.
