Actress Jeon Ji Hyun is under investigation
New information related to A-list actress Jeon Ji Hyun has caused a stir in the public.
On the evening of February 10, Heraldpop reported that actress Jeon Ji Hyun had to pay an additional 20 million won after undergoing a tax investigation. Korean media commented that the tax investigation of the My Love From The Star beauty is related to real estate transactions.
Remember, Jeon Ji Hyun bought a 5-story shopping mall in Gangnam (Seoul) in 2007 for 8.6 billion won. In 2021, she sold the building for 23.5 billion won and earned a profit of 14.9 billion won. Not only that, a year later, the famous actress bought an apartment on the top floor of the famous Acro Seoul Forest building for 13 billion won.
On February 10, Jeon Ji Hyun’s representative officially clarified the actress’s additional payment to the National Tax Service: “Jeon Ji Hyun underwent a tax investigation in 2023, but there were no serious problems. There was a difference in the views of Jeon Ji Hyun’s accountant compared to the Tax Service regarding how to handle expenses when calculating taxes, and this led to a mismatch between the two parties in some items. As a result, Jeon Ji Hyun had to pay an additional 20 million won in additional tax.”
The representative of the 1981-born actress continued to reassure fans: “Paying additional taxes is a normal phenomenon. And the additional payment by Jeon Ji Hyun has no connection to any illegal activities.”
Jeon Ji Hyun officially entered the Korean entertainment industry when she was just 16 years old. She quickly became famous throughout Asia after the success of the film My Sassy Girl. Since then, the actress has continued to affirm her name through a series of popular TV series and movies such as My Love from the Star, Legend of the Blue Sea, The Thieves… For many years, Jeon Ji Hyun appeared at the top of the list of highest-paid actresses in Korea. Besides her admirable career, she also has a dream marriage with wealthy businessman Choi Joon Hyuk.
