Han Hyo Joo’s Agency Denies Allegations Of Tax Evasion

Jun 13, 2023

Han Hyo Joo’s agency has responded to reports regarding her tax audit.

Previously, Aju News reported that the Seoul Regional Tax Office launched an irregular tax audit against Han Hyo Joo. It was reported that they imposed an additional fee of about 60 million won to 70 million won (approximately $47,000 to $55,000) for underreporting taxes.

On June 13, a source from BH Entertainment shared, “Han Hyo Joo received a regular tax audit and not a special tax audit. There were no substantial issues, omission, or any aspects that would raise suspicions of tax evasion.”

They continued, “However, in the process of investigation, a difference in the interpretation of what is subject to taxation resulted in accounting errors. A portion of the recognized costs resulted in [Han Hyo Joo] paying additional charges.”

Furthermore, they stated, “The agency and Han Hyo Joo have dutifully paid taxes until now. In particular, Han Hyo Joo served as an ambassador for the National Tax Service in 2011, and she also paid her taxes dutifully to the extent of receiving a commendation from the president for being an exemplary taxpayer in 2014. There has not once been an unpleasant incident regarding taxes.”

Finally, they added, “Han Hyo Joo and our agency’s actors will continue to pay taxes dutifully as principle going forward.”

Currently, Han Hyo Joo is gearing up to star in the Disney+ series “Moving.”
