Appearance Fee Disputes Emerge for Cast of K-Drama "High School Return of a Gangster"
Top actress Kim Tae Hee is also suspected of tax evasion just like Lee Byung Hun's issue.
On March 1, it was reported that Kim Tae Hee and her former agency Lua Entertainment were also fined hundreds of millions of won by the National Tax Service.
In 2009, Kim Tae Hee and her family created Lua Entertainment. The actress was under the agency from 2009 until 2019. Up until today, Lua Entertainment is now labeled as Lua Asset Co., Ltd. and is still residing under Kim Tae Hee's property in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
Kim Tae Hee's current agency Story J Company released their official statement regarding the tax evasion issue.
The agency shared, "Kim Tae Hee has been faithful in taking care of her taxes over the years. She always complies with the ax authorities' laws."
They continued, "After Kim Tae Hee's contract with her former agency Lua Entertainment, a client advertiser had a delay in payment for the actress' modeling. The delayed payment was then issued to the actress personally. The issue occurred because of this."
Story J Company clarified, "There is nothing to worry about. We also would like to clarify that the actress indeed had to pay additional taxes and it has been faithfully fulfilled already."
Meanwhile, Kim Tae Hee is set to return to the K-drama scene after three years. The top actress will lead the upcoming k-drama A House With A Yard. She will be working alongside Im Ji Yeon and Kim Sung Oh.
Kim Tae Hee was last seen in the 2020 K-drama Hi Bye, Mama! together with Lee Kyu Hyung, Go Bo Gyeol, Seo Woo Jin, Shin Dong Mi, and Oh Eui Shik.
The top actress is known for being the main lead of the known K-dramas Yong Pal, My Princess, IRIS, Love Story in Harvard, Stairway to Heaven, and more.
Kim Tae Hee is married to singer-actor Rain and currently has two daughters.
