'
The 1 trillion won wealth theory" Yoo Jae-suk, who bought an 8.7 billion won penthouse in cash… His tax philosophy, which has not been questioned in tax investigations, is 'the people's MC.'
'The people's MC' Yoo Jae-suk's wealth is once again making headlines. Following the recent emergence of the '1 trillion won wealth theory,' details of his special tax payment method, which has yielded no issues even during tax investigations, have been revealed, garnering public applause.
Recently aired on the MBC entertainment show 'What Do You Do When You Play?' featured an episode where Yoo Jae-suk spends a day with AI. On this day, the members visited a restaurant recommended by AI and even let it handle the bill, prompting AI to point at Yoo Jae-suk and say, "Mr. Jae-suk, who has a lot of money, should pay for everything," evoking laughter. When Heo Kyung-hwan joked, "Does it know his wealth?" Yoo Jae-suk appeared flustered.
In fact, Yoo Jae-suk's '1 trillion won wealth theory' has been raised consistently. Last year, he caught attention for purchasing a 199㎡ (about 60 pyeong) penthouse at 'Brighton N40' in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam, for an astonishing 8.6 billion won, paying in full in cash. He had previously bought two buildings in Gangnam for 11.6 billion won and 8.2 billion won in cash.
However, aside from simple 'wealth display,' the reason Yoo Jae-suk is held in such high regard lies elsewhere. It is his exceptional tax payment method.
According to a video recently released by the YouTube channel 'Tax Saving TV,' Yoo Jae-suk reportedly had no issues even during tax investigations. A tax expert noted, "Most celebrities opt for tax saving through bookkeeping and reporting, but Yoo Jae-suk adheres to the 'standard expense ratio reporting,' paying even more taxes instead," explaining that for an annual income of 10 billion won, he essentially pays an additional 1.4 billion won in taxes.
He added, "Yoo Jae-suk has eliminated tax controversies by choosing lifelong trust. He can focus on broadcasting without the hassle of gathering supporting documents, and there is also no risk of additional taxes or fines. It's a zero-risk strategy," praising, "A true example of nobless oblige, choosing transparency over expense processing."
Known for his strict self-management, abstaining from both smoking and drinking, Yoo Jae-suk proved once again his qualities as 'the people's MC' by sticking to principles even when it comes to taxes.
Internet users reacted warmly to the news, expressing sentiments like, "As expected from Yoo, the class above," "A true adult who chose trust over money," "The 1 trillion won wealth theory didn't come out of nowhere," and "No wonder he's a long-lasting people's MC."
