Yoo Jae-suk: 'Taxes must be paid on time'... Rushed to the bank even during filming

South Korean entertainer Yoo Jae-suk demonstrated his commitment to civic duty by making an urgent trip to the bank during a filming session to pay his taxes before the June 30 deadline. The incident, captured during the filming of the web entertainment show "Pungyangjung," highlighted the celebrity's dedication to fulfilling his financial obligations.

While embarking on a domestic trip with fellow entertainers Lee Sung-min, Ji Suk-jin, and Yang Se-chan, Yoo Jae-suk informed his companions that he needed to stop at a bank. He explained that continuous filming schedules had prevented him from attending to his tax payments, which were due. "I have to pay taxes now, but I don't have the time," he stated, seeking their understanding.

I have to pay taxes now, but I don't have the time.

As the group arrived at the bank to withdraw travel funds, Yoo Jae-suk announced his intention to pay taxes. Ji Suk-jin suggested deferring the payment, but Yoo Jae-suk firmly replied, "There's no later. You have to pay taxes on time, don't you?" His insistence underscored the importance he places on timely tax compliance.

There's no later. You have to pay taxes on time, don't you?

Yang Se-chan found the situation amusing, remarking on the novelty of seeing Yoo Jae-suk rush to pay taxes during a broadcast. Yoo Jae-suk, however, remained resolute, reiterating, "Paying taxes is really important," as he headed into the bank.

This act of responsibility gains further significance given Yoo Jae-suk's recent history. In 2024, he was the subject of high-intensity tax investigations, which ultimately found no evidence of tax evasion, such as errors in tax filings or intentional income concealment. His prompt action during filming reinforces his image as a conscientious taxpayer.
