Park Narae Faces Tax Audit with Multi-Million Won Reclaim... "Not Intended for Tax Evasion"

"Difference in Tax Law Interpretation... Faithfully Fulfilling Taxpayer Obligations"

Broadcaster Park Narae's agency explained that the imposition of tens of millions of won in additional taxes following a tax audit by the National Tax Service was "not a malicious tax evasion."

On the 26th, Park's agency, JDB Entertainment, stated, "Park Narae has diligently managed her tax matters and fulfilled her tax obligations in accordance with the law enforced by the tax authorities," adding, "The additional tax payment was made due to differences in interpretation of tax laws during coordination between the tax authorities and the tax accountant."

Earlier that day, Aju Economy reported that Park had undergone an irregular (special) tax audit by the Seoul Regional National Tax Service Investigation Division 2 at the end of last year and was imposed with tens of millions of won in additional taxes.

Irregular tax audits are conducted when irregularities in income reporting by individuals or corporations are discovered or when whistleblower reports are received.

Meanwhile, the National Tax Service has been conducting tax audits on celebrities, athletes, webtoon artists, and YouTubers from last year through early this year. Earlier this year, actors Lee Byung-hun, Kim Tae-hee, and Lee Min-ho were also found to have abnormal transaction records and were imposed with additional taxes ranging from several hundred million won to over one billion won.
