The National Tax Service has launched an omnidirectional tax investigation into famous Korean celebrities over the past two years. The National Tax Service has rolled up its sleeves as some celebrities have been found to have raised market profits through real estate sales and failed to pay taxes normally. In particular, controversy erupted when the National Tax Service was found to have conducted a high-intensity tax investigation against Jun Ji-hyun in 2023, two years ago. Jun Ji-hyun was previously questioned in 2014 and was once again questioned nine years later, resulting in a large additional 20 million won.
Jun Ji-hyun is well-known in the entertainment industry as a star who has earned profits from capital gains beyond the guarantee of his works with real estate market gains. Jeon Ji-hyun sold a five-story shopping mall in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, which was purchased for 8.6 billion won in 2007, for 23.5 billion won in 2021, earning a market profit of 14.9 billion won. In addition, in September 2022, she and her husband jointly purchased a penthouse (exclusive area of 264㎡) in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, for 13 billion won, drawing attention.
As the controversy grew, Jeon Ji-hyun tried to extinguish the noise by explaining the tax investigation penalty. On the 10th, Jeon Ji-hyun's agency Leeum Hashtag "Jeon Ji-hyun was confirmed to have no problems after going through due process on all major matters during the 2023 tax audit. It clearly states that the surcharge has nothing to do with serious tax matters or misconduct," he stressed.
Subsequently, due to the difference in interpretation of the cost handling method between the tax accountant and the National Tax Service, disagreements arose in some items, and accordingly, an additional tax of about 20 million won was paid. It is an adjustment that can occur in the normal tax adjustment process. He explained that there was no illegal act in this tax audit.
Meanwhile, Jun Ji-hyun is scheduled to make a comeback in the second half of this year through the Disney+ original series 『Pukguksong』 (played by Gam Jung-kyung, directed by Kim Hee-won and Heo Myung-haeng).
