Kim Seon Ho Tax Evasion Controversy:Amid the ongoing buzz around Cha Eun Woo’s ₩20 billion KRW tax evasion controversy, another Fantagio actor, Kim Seon Ho, has unexpectedly found himself pulled into the spotlight. The development comes at a time when Kim Seon Ho has been enjoying renewed success following his recent Netflix K-drama Can This Love Be Translated (CTLBT).
The 39-year-old actor is now facing allegations linked to tax irregularities, though his current agency Fantagio has firmly denied any wrongdoing on its part. According to reports, the controversy is not directly connected to Fantagio but allegedly stems from a one-person agency Kim Seon Ho had independently set up in January 2024, prior to officially joining Fantagio. The tax scandal has sparked speculation over whether the allegations could impact Kim Seon Ho’s upcoming projects.
