Actor Kim Seon-ho, who shares an agency with ASTRO member Cha Eun-woo, is facing allegations of tax evasion.
According to Sports Kyunghyang, Kim Seon-ho is suspected of engaging in tax evasion through a family corporation he operates separately from his agency. The report states that Kim established a performance planning company at his residence in Yongsan, Seoul, where he serves as the CEO. The board includes his parents as internal directors and an auditor. The media analyzed that the company was set up to manage funds flexibly within the family.
Established in January 2024, the corporation is reported to engage in various businesses, including advertising agency services, media content creation, broadcasting program production and distribution, clothing manufacturing and retail, consulting related to personnel and services, and real estate transactions and leasing. However, it is noted that this corporation is not registered for public cultural arts planning.
Fantagio acknowledged the existence of Kim Seon-ho's corporation but stated, "It has not been operational for over a year. We recognize that this is a problematic issue and are in the process of closing the business." They added, "This corporation was established by Kim Seon-ho previously, and we were unaware it could pose issues. The intention was not for tax evasion but rather because he is involved in theater and wishes to continue in that field."
