OSEN has since reported that Kim Sa Rang had already paid all of the overdue taxes on May 9, before the controversy became public. According to the report, Kim Sa Rang first received notice of the tax delinquency around March and was preparing the payment when the seizure reportedly took place. It was also said that she had not been aware of the apartment seizure at the time.

In South Korea, real estate seized for unpaid national taxes is assessed at the property’s publicly assessed value rather than its actual market price. Once the seizure is registered, it takes effect. If the unpaid amount is not settled, the property may later be sold at public auction. If the amount is paid in full, the seizure can be lifted.
