Recently, some internet users have exploded with curiosity and entered investigation mode. This was because it became known that the national MC Yoo Jae-suk exhibited disrespectful behavior.
The story began when comedian Lee Kyung-sil candidly shared her thoughts on the neglect of some actors in the entertainment industry. Recently, in the content 'New Woman' on the channel 'Rolling Thunder,' Lee Kyung-sil, Jo Hye-ryeon, and Lee Sun-min talked about their disappointments and uncomfortable moments experienced in the broadcasting industry.
Lee Kyung-sil said, "When you start in entertainment and gain popularity, you receive opportunities in drama as well. Therefore, when doing entertainment programs, it's natural to seek help from seniors and have a phone call, but some actors sometimes act as if it's unrelated to entertainment."
Next, Lee Sun-min mentioned the controversy during the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards in 2021, saying, "When senior Yoo Jae-suk received the Grand Prize in the TV category, some actors quietly only applauded. Compared to the atmosphere in the film category where most gave standing ovations, it was definitely different." In response, Jo Hye-ryeon and Lee Kyung-sil expressed their agreement. Lee Kyung-sil showed discomfort, saying, "Did they come to have numb hands?"
As a result, online users expressed both anger and curiosity, asking, "Who is that actor?" and "Is it possible to treat the national MC like that?" Yoo Jae-suk is known as "a star from whom not even a speck of dust comes out, even when shaken," which made the situation even more absurd.
No wonder. Recently, his unique tax payment method has garnered renewed attention. In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Tax Saving TV,' tax specialist Yoon Na-gyeom emphasized, "Even when Yoo Jae-suk was subject to a tax audit, not even a speck of dust came out. Despite being a top star, he was perfectly clean."
The method Yoo Jae-suk chose was to apply only the rates set by the government, known as 'Standard Expense Ratio Reporting (Estimated Reporting).' While he could have reduced taxes through book reporting, he chose the path of paying more taxes instead. For example, if he earned 10 billion won, he would have to pay about 2.7 billion won under book reporting, but Yoo Jae-suk paid 4.1 billion won.
The tax specialist explained, "It's not because he has a lot of money, but because he wanted to maintain trust as a national MC and focus solely on broadcasting activities," and evaluated Yoo Jae-suk as "a true example of practicing nobless oblige." Meanwhile, online users are showing their distress over the news that Yoo Jae-suk was neglected in the past, wondering who that actor is.
Meanwhile, even though Yoo Jae-suk was named a building owner worth over 20 billion won last year, it was reported that no intentional tax omissions or tax evasion were found during a rigorous tax audit, garnering both trust and admiration from fans and internet users.
