[TV Report = Reporter Jeong Dae-jin] The Netflix drama ‘Can This Love Be Translated? (hereinafter referred to as ‘Director’) continued its upward trend despite suspicions of tax evasion by lead actor Kim Seon-ho. According to Netflix on the 4th, ‘Lee Director’ recorded 4.3 million views from January 26 to February 1, the third week of its release, maintaining its first place in the non-English global top 10 TV shows. However, the number of countries in which the work entered the top 10 was 43 countries, including Korea, Turkmenistan, Mexico, and Egypt, a decrease of 17 countries compared to last week. ‘Lee Director’ is a romantic comedy drama released on the 16th of last month, and tells the story of multilingual interpreter Joo Ho-jin (Kim Seon-ho), who takes on the role of interpreter for global top star Cha Moo-hee (Go Yoon-jeong). According to Consumer Insight's 'Viewer Evaluation Report' on the 15th of last month, a day before the release of the work, 'Lee Sa-Tong' received overwhelming attention, recording a viewing intention rate of 21%. The main trailer uploaded to Netflix Korea's official channel also showed potential, exceeding 1 million views immediately after its release. Despite public opinion that the remaining journey of ‘Lee Sa-tong’, who took on the risk of being the lead actor, will be put on hold, the achievement of the above results is something to keep an eye on. Earlier on the 2nd, Kim Seon-ho was caught up in suspicions of tax evasion. It is suspected that Kim Seon-ho attempted to avoid taxes by establishing a family corporation that was operated separately from his agency. The agency, Fantagio, completely denied the allegations, saying, "It is a corporation established for the purpose of theatrical activities. It is not for the purpose of intentional tax saving or tax evasion." According to Fantagio, the corporation is currently undergoing closure procedures.
