Fantagio

Fantagio is a South Korean entertainment company that manages actors and K-pop artists. It is currently in the news due to tax evasion allegations leveled against two of its prominent actors, Kim Seon-ho and Cha Eun-woo. Kim Seon-ho is accused of using a company registered under his parents' names to evade taxes, which Fantagio denies. Similarly, Cha Eun-woo is under investigation for allegedly establishing a one-person corporation to avoid taxes. This has led to brands, including Shinhan Bank and Abib, pausing or removing advertising campaigns featuring Cha Eun-woo. These allegations and subsequent investigations are significant because they highlight potential tax avoidance practices within the South Korean entertainment industry and impact the reputations of both the artists and Fantagio.
