National Tax Service thanks comedian Yoo Jae-suk for paying taxes during filming

A recent video on the YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun' has captured significant attention, showing popular South Korean entertainer Yoo Jae-suk making an urgent trip to a bank to pay his comprehensive income tax before the deadline.

“

Tax payment is really important. Paying taxes is our duty.

The clip, filmed during a segment for the web entertainment show 'Poonghyangjung,' depicts Yoo Jae-suk driving to an 익산 (Iksan) branch of Shinhan Bank. He explained that he had been unable to visit a bank earlier due to his filming schedule, emphasizing the importance of timely tax payments. Despite some playful protests from fellow cast members, Yoo Jae-suk remained firm, stating, "Tax payment is really important. Paying taxes is our duty," and "This is how you should pay taxes, happily!"

This is how you should pay taxes, happily!

The video quickly gained traction, surpassing 5 million views within four days of its release. In response to the viral content, the National Tax Service (NTS) left a comment on the video, expressing gratitude to Yoo Jae-suk for his "diligent tax payment." The NTS also used the opportunity to promote its mobile tax payment service, 'Sontax,' highlighting its ease of use and fee-free transactions for those with limited time to visit a bank or tax office.

Jae-suk, thank you for your diligent tax payment!

This incident follows a high-intensity tax audit Yoo Jae-suk underwent in 2024. Reports indicate that the audit revealed no instances of intentional tax evasion or delinquency. The ongoing web entertainment series featuring Yoo Jae-suk and other cast members, which involves a road trip to Iksan with navigation system restrictions, is set to release new episodes every Saturday for three weeks.
