Previously, on February 1, 2026, a media outlet reported allegations of tax evasion involving Kim Seon Ho. According to the report, in January 2024, Kim Seon Ho established a separate corporation under the pretext of performance planning at his home address in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Kim Seon Ho reportedly served as the CEO of the corporation, while his parents were listed as internal director and auditor.
The outlet analyzed that the corporation appeared to function less as an entity for actual business operations and more as a special-purpose company for asset management and income splitting. It further alleged that wages were paid to his parents through the corporate account and then returned, and that the corporate card was used for personal living expenses or entertainment costs, raising suspicions of tax evasion and misappropriation of funds.
