"Cha Eun-woo Faces Ongoing Tax Investigation"

-
Cha Eun-woo, South Korean singer and actor best known as a member of ASTRO, is currently under public scrutiny following reports of an ongoing tax investigation by the National Tax Service (NTS).

According to multiple Korean and international news outlets, tax authorities are examining income linked to Cha Eun-woo that was allegedly managed through a company associated with a family member. Authorities are reviewing whether the company had substantial business operations and whether income was properly declared under South Korea’s tax regulations. The reported amount under review has been estimated at approximately ₩20 billion.

Cha Eun-woo’s agency, Fantagio, released an official statement clarifying that the investigation is still in progress and that no final decision or criminal determination has been made. The agency emphasized that the case involves legal interpretation and tax classification issues, and confirmed that Cha Eun-woo is fully cooperating with authorities.
Following the emergence of the reports, several brands associated with the artist have reportedly adjusted or temporarily paused advertising content featuring him. Industry observers note that such actions are common precautionary measures when public figures are involved in unresolved legal or financial controversies.

Cha Eun-woo is currently serving his mandatory military service, and no further personal statement has been released at this time. Fans and the public have expressed mixed reactions online, ranging from concern and disappointment to support and calls for patience until official conclusions are announced.

As the investigation continues, further updates are expected once tax authorities complete their review and clarify the legal outcome.

From Daniel to Kyuded: The Unfiltered Transformation of an I-LAND Trainee

Daniel from I-LAND, once the bright and youthful trainee that captured the hearts of viewers, is almost unrecognizable today. After failing to secure a spot in the final lineup of ENHYPEN, Daniel stepped away from the spotlight. Years later, he returned, not as the same cheerful boy fans remembered, but as someone completely transformed — now going by the name Kyuded. When Daniel reappeared on social media as Kyuded, fans were quick to notice how much his appearance had changed. The clean and polished look he had during I-LAND was gone. In its place stood someone who looked thinner, more rugged, and visibly tired. His sharp features, often accompanied by a worn-out gaze, made fans question what he had gone through in the years of his absence. What shocked people even more was his raw, unfiltered presence online. There was no effort to maintain the idol image anymore — no stylist, no makeup, no curated persona. Kyuded appeared rough around the edges, ...
