The address of the management company operated by Cha Eun-woo's mother has been confirmed to be in Gimpo. Cha Eun-woo's side stated that his mother directly runs the management business and claimed that the company is not a shell company but a formally registered business in the field of popular culture and arts planning.

The management company established by Cha Eun-woo's mother on June 15, 2022, can be verified through the Comprehensive Information System for Popular Culture and Arts. However, the address is listed as a building in Tongjin-eup, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, not Ganghwa. This building has seven floors above ground and two basement levels and is registered under a different company name than the eel restaurant mentioned in online communities.

Although the management company was initially registered in Gimpo, the address may have been changed, but related information has not been updated. According to the Comprehensive Information System for Popular Culture and Arts, the address must be updated if changed, but no changes have been recorded to date. Fantagio, Cha Eun-woo's agency, stated that they are "unable to confirm" regarding this matter.

Cha Eun-woo was notified by the National Tax Service of a tax audit resulting in a tax bill exceeding 20 billion KRW for income tax evasion. There exists a corporation A established by Cha Eun-woo's mother between Cha Eun-woo and his agency Fantagio. It has also been alleged that the income earned by Cha Eun-woo was divided between Fantagio and corporation A.

The National Tax Service judged that corporation A is a shell company that did not provide substantial services. Accordingly, it was reported that Cha Eun-woo and his mother established the non-substantial corporation A to reduce income tax by 45%, applying a corporate tax rate more than 20% lower than the income tax rate.

Fantagio stated regarding this issue, "The main point of contention is whether the corporation established by Cha Eun-woo's mother is subject to substantive taxation." They added, "This matter has not been finally confirmed or notified yet, and we will actively provide explanations through proper procedures regarding the legal interpretation and application issues."

This incident related to Cha Eun-woo is expected to have a significant impact on the entertainment industry and popular culture. As a popular celebrity, his tax issues have attracted public attention. The controversy surrounding the substance of the management company operated by Cha Eun-woo and his mother is expected to require further discussion and investigation.

Currently, Cha Eun-woo is working with his agency to resolve this issue, and the progress of related legal procedures is being closely watched. Fans and the public are observing the development of this case and continue to show interest in his future activities.

This case reveals the complexity of tax issues involving celebrities and suggests the possibility of similar cases occurring throughout the entertainment industry. The Cha Eun-woo case will remain an important example of how celebrities manage and resolve tax issues.
