Squid Game star Lee Byung Hun denies tax evasion allegations after being fined over Rs. 62 lakhs; actor’s agency releases official statement

Popular South Korean actor Lee Byung Hun, who was last seen in K-dramas Squid Game and Our Blues, has denied the tax evasion allegations made against him. The actor’s agency BH Entertainment has officially released a statement denying such accusations.

Reports in Korean media outlets revealed that a special tax audit was conducted by the National Tax Service on Lee Byung Hun and his agency BH Entertainment in September 2022. They were reportedly fined hundreds of millions of won (approx Rs. 62 lakhs) in additional taxes.

Furthermore, the reports also revealed that Lee Byung Hun had purchased a 10-story building in the neighbourhood of Yangpyeong in Seoul. He allegedly sold the building in 2021 and earned a whopping profit of around 10 billion KRW (approximately $7.6 million).

A representative from BH Entertainment released an official statement on February 28, as translated by media outlet Soompi, “Actor Lee Byung Hun has not had one shameful incident regarding taxes in the past 30 years. The additional fee collected was due to the differences in the deposit time for an advertising guarantee and in the process of accounting normalization for bonuses paid to all employees with the actor’s own personal expenses that were processed as company expenses.”

Prime Video debuted first-look images for the highly anticipated action-spy thriller Citadel, revealing that the series will premiere on Friday, April 28, with two adrenaline-fueled episodes, followed by a new episode released weekly every Friday through May 26.

Interestingly, in the first look images, the shot of Richard Madden looking at a screen which contains information on Priyanka Chopra’s character Nadia Sinh has a QR code that leads users to the secret teaser for the series. The logline reads, “Eight years ago, Citadel fell. The independent global spy agency—tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people—was destroyed by operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows. With Citadel’s fall, elite agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives. They’ve remained hidden ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts. Until one night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason seeks out his former partner, Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that takes them around the world in an effort to stop Manticore, all while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love.”

Arbaaz Khan says Pathaan’s success is perfectly timed for Shah Rukh Khan: ‘For all that he and his family have gone through last two years’

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan has seen unprecedented collections at the box office for a Hindi film. It’s broken several records and has surpassed Rs. 1020 crore at the worldwide box office. Actor-producer Arbaaz Khan thinks it is a perfect payback for what the Khan family went through for the past two years.

In a recent interview with DNA, Arbaaz Khan said, “And it was perfectly timed. More so for Shah Rukh, for all that he and his family have gone through last two years, I think this was a payback for the poor fellow. It was a very deserving, entertaining film and Shah Rukh was best in it.”

Speaking of the boycott calls and the threats that Pathaan received before its release, Arbaaz further said, “The audience doesn’t care what’s being written about someone. If you will allow a smooth release, they will come. If you create distress or vandalise theatres, then they won’t risk their lives for it. But if you genuinely want to know whether they will boycott it, they won’t.”

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is currently shooting for his film Jawan with director Atlee Kumar and actors Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara. Next up, he also has Dunki which will mark his first collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani. The film is set for December 2023 release.
