2PM's Lee Junho, who is not only a popular member of the group but also a successful actor, recently revealed that he underwent a thorough tax audit that led to a major tax reassessment.

The tax authorities have been closely examining his finances, but it seems there's no cause for alarm.

According to reports on December 24th, Lee Junho was the subject of an unexpected tax audit by the Seoul Regional Tax Office’s Investigation Division 2, which took place back in September of last year.

The audit was part of a larger campaign, the “Corporate Business Artist Irregular Integrated Tax Audit”, which focuses on high-net-worth individuals.

Lee Junho owns two luxury units in the The Reverse Cheongdam officetel in Cheongdam-dong, with each valued between 1.5 billion to 1.8 billion won.

In addition, he made a big purchase this year, acquiring a commercial building on Apgujeong Rodeo Street in Gangnam for 17.5 billion won.

This building, previously owned by the late actress Kang Su Yeon, was originally bought in 2017 for 8 billion won. The property spans one basement floor and four stories above ground.

The building was purchased through JF Company, a family-run corporation where Lee Junho and his parents have been registered as executives since October 2021.

The Seoul National Tax Service's Investigation Division 2 has previously conducted audits on other famous celebrities and high-net-worth individuals like actors Kwon Sang Woo and Lee Byung Hun, raising questions about whether such scrutiny is standard for those in Lee Junho's position.

A tax official clarified, “We conduct audits on high-net-worth individuals and celebrities, but if everything checks out, no further action is taken.”

This suggests that Lee Junho had to face suspicion of potential tax issues, although his representatives have confirmed that there was no tax evasion involved. “The reassessed taxes have been fully paid,” they assured.

Despite the audit, it seems Lee Junho has cleared up any concerns about his taxes and has moved forward without any further issues.
