[TV Report = Reporter Kim Na-rae] Actor Kim Seon-ho will appear in front of the public through a scheduled play while he is surrounded by suspicions that he attempted to evade taxes using his family corporation. On the 3rd, an official from the play ‘Secret Passage’ said, “We are currently preparing for the opening as scheduled,” and added, “If there are any changes, we will inform you later.” The play ‘Secret Passage’, which is scheduled to open on the 13th at Woori Investment & Securities Hall, Daehakro, NOL Theater, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, is a work that depicts the process of two people encountering each other in an unfamiliar space with lost memories of their lives, reviewing their relationships, death, and repeated lives through books of intertwined memories. Kim Seon-ho played the main character, Dong-jae, and all tickets for the episode in which he appeared (February 13 to March 22) were sold out. Previously, on the 1st, Kim Seon-ho was suspected of tax evasion by establishing a separate corporation in January 2024 with his parents listed as executive directors and auditors. He was shocked when suspicions were raised that he paid salaries ranging from several million won to tens of millions of won to his parents through the corporation and covered living and entertainment expenses with corporate credit cards. In particular, the controversy continues as it is known that the corporation operated as a one-person agency was not registered as a popular arts and culture planning business. Meanwhile, the advertising world is starting to draw a line against Kim Seon-ho. On the 4th, Beanpole, the fashion brand for which he is working as a model, switched the teaser video for the 2026 spring collection collaboration pictorial posted on its official account to private, and also canceled the upload of the full video, which was scheduled to be released the day before. As the situation worsens day by day, Kim Seon-ho's agency, Fantagio, said, "Kim Seon-ho has signed an exclusive contract with Fantagio under his personal name and is faithfully complying with legal and tax procedures related to his current contractual relationship and activities." He added, "The one-person corporation in the past was established for theater production and theater-related activities, and is by no means a corporation established for the purpose of intentional tax saving or tax evasion."
