The National Tax Service (NTS) is investigating whether actor Jang Geun-seok evaded taxes to the tune of 2 billion won ($1.96 million).
The NTS has ordered Jang’s management company in charge of his overseas entertainment activities to submit documents for scrutiny.
NTS has so far confirmed that the company used foreign exchange channels to illegally funnel capital and traded with brokers based in both China and Korea based on forged documents.
The company has been helping other Korean celebrities launch their overseas activities throughout the region as well.
Jang has had previously been alleged with tax evasion along with fellow entertainer Rain in mid-July but denied the accusation.
