Restaurant culture corporations Sun at Food said on the 4th that Chief Executive Kim Yong-gyun was selected as a model taxpayer on the occasion of the 60th Taxpayer Day and received the National Tax Service Commissioner's Award. The model taxpayer award is given to individuals or corporations who have contributed to the national finances through faithful tax payments and helped spread a sound taxpaying culture.

Sun at Food has expanded its dining business since 1995, starting with "Tony Roma's Apgujeong." It currently operates brands including the creative Korean shabu-shabu brand "Modern Shabu House," as well as ▲Sichuan House ▲Texas de Brazil.

Sun at Food said the recognition came from running a business in the restaurant industry for more than 30 years, as well as consistent, responsible taxpaying practices and transparent management. In particular, during a tax audit, it was recognized for transparent accounting without any issues raised and simultaneously received the "Model Taxpayer Award for Audits."

Chief Executive Kim Yong-gyun said, "Faithful taxpaying and responsible management are the most basic duties that corporations must uphold," adding, "We will continue to grow into a corporation that is recognized for its brand value in the global market based on transparent management."
