On July 14, one media outlet reported that over ten celebrities, including Rain and Jang Geun Suk, were being investigated for evading hundreds of millions of taxes and bringing in their overseas profits into South Korea by putting them in bank accounts under other people's names to avoid paying a fine for exchanging large amounts of money.
Rain's agency, Cube DC, responded with, "We learned of this obviously false report and felt deep regret towards its content, which is completely unrelated to the truth. We are on normal terms with the event planning company that oversaw the event casting in China and drew out a legal appearance contract; we then received full payment for the appearance through Cube DC's official bank account with a correct and transparent invoice as the foundation.
In addition, we completed all reports for other profits not only in China but also in all countries to the National Tax Service, and disclose that an occurring or incomplete tax report does not exist. If the prosecutors or National Tax Service were to request documents from us, we will reveal everything transparently through a report."
Jang Geun Suk's agency, TreeJ Entertainment, told Star News on July 14, "It is not true at all. At the moment, there needs to be a clear fact check, so we will need to confirm the concrete details. There was no tax evasion, at all."
