SOURCE: ‘130억 완납’ 차은우, 군악대 보직 그대로…국방부 “변경 사유 NO” 입장
It appears there will be no change in singer and actor Cha Eunwoo's military position.
Amid tax evasion allegations surrounding Cha Eunwoo, a petition was filed through the national petition system requesting him to be re-assigned from the military band. According to the petitioner, the Ministry of National Defense recently responded through the petition system, stating, "This case does not fall under the grounds for reassignment as stipulated in Article 14 (Reassignment, etc.) of the Ministry of National Defense Military Personnel Management Directive. Therefore, he will continue serving in his current position."
Back in January, reports surfaced claiming that Cha Eunwoo had undergone an intensive investigation by the Seoul Regional Tax Office over alleged tax evasion and that he had been notified of additional taxes exceeding 20 billion KRW, including income tax.
Amid the controversy, Cha Eunwoo stated in April, "I respect the procedures and results of the National Tax Service. In order to prevent further confusion, I have paid all related taxes in full. I will also faithfully cooperate with the remaining procedures."
His agency stated, "Part of the paid amount is expected to be adjusted through the National Tax Service's refund procedures. We have been informed by accountants that the actual financial burden will be around 13 billion KRW."
Meanwhile, Cha Eunwoo enlisted in the military last July and is currently serving in the military band.
