Actress Jun Ji Hyun’s agency has responded to reports that she was fined following an intensive tax investigation by the National Tax Service two years ago.

On February 10, her agency, IEUM HASHTAG, released an official statement: "We would like to provide clarification regarding today's media report (on February 10) about actress Jun Ji Hyun’s tax investigation. In the 2023 tax audit, she underwent all necessary legal procedures and was confirmed to have no issues."

The agency continued, "However, due to differences in interpretation between the tax authorities and our tax accountant regarding expense processing methods, some discrepancies arose in certain items. As a result, an additional tax payment of approximately 20 million KRW (~13,782 USD) was made. This was merely an adjustment that can occur in routine tax audits."

They further emphasized, "We want to make it clear that this additional tax payment is entirely unrelated to any major tax issues or illegal activities."

Meanwhile, Jun Ji Hyun purchased a building in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, for approximately 8.6 billion KRW (~5.9 million USD) in 2007 and sold it for around 23.5 billion KRW (~16.2 million USD) in 2021. In 2022, she and her husband jointly purchased a penthouse in Acro Seoul Forest, Seongsu-dong, for about 13 billion KRW (~9 million USD).
