SOURCE: 차은우, 200억 탈세 의혹에 입 열었다 "군대 의도적 선택 NO…책임 다할 것" [전문]
Cha Eunwoo, who has been facing allegations of 20 billion KRW in tax evasion, has released an official statement.
On the 26th, Cha Eunwoo posted a long message on his social media, saying, "I sincerely bow my head in apology for causing worry and disappointment to many people through the various events related to me recently."
He continued, "Through this incident, I have been deeply reflecting on whether I have been strict enough in fulfilling my duty as a citizen of the Republic of Korea to pay taxes." He aded, "I worried that a long statement might sound like an excuse or even cause further fatigue, but I felt it was the right thing to speak and apologize directly regarding this matter."
Cha Eunwoo explained, "I'm writing this after finishing my daily duties at the military base. Although I'm currently serving in the military, it was definitely not a choice I made to hide from this controversy. Last year, I reached a point where I could no longer delay my enlistment. So, I had to enlist before the tax investigation was finished."
He also said, "However, I know these misunderstandings happened because of my own shortcomings. Therefore, I feel a deep sense of responsibility. If I were not serving as a soldier right now, I would want to personally visit and bow in apology to everyone who was harmed by this situation. I am writing these words with my utmost sincerity."
Cha Eunwo emphasized, "I will faithfully cooperate in the upcoming tax-related procedures. Also, I will humbly accept the final decision made by the authorities and take full responsibility for the results."
