It has been confirmed that Kim Seonho received payments for his entertainment activities through a one-person company he established in January 2024 during his time with his previous agency.
Kim Seonho is reported to have received the money under that company's name instead of his own name. If he took the money as personal income, an income tax rate of up to 49.5% would apply. However, by taking it as the company's income, the maximum corporate tax rate of 19% would apply, which significantly reduce the tax burden.
The former agency told TV Daily, "We just transferred money to the place he asked for."
However, suspicions have been raised that the company might be a 'paper company' with no real business activities because it's registered address is the same as Kim Seonho's residence. In such a case, receiving payments through the company could be seen as a way to avoid personal taxes.
Additionally, it has been confirmed that Kim Seonho did not register his company as 'Popular Culture and Arts Planning Business,' which is required by law to receive management-related payments. Receiving management-related payments without this registration may constitute a violation of the law and could lead to criminal punishment.
