[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] After footage of “diligent taxpayer” Yoo Jae-suk paying his taxes was aired and became a hot topic, the National Tax Service has stepped in to add another layer of humor to the story.

On the 4th, the National Tax Service posted on its official account regarding the YouTube channel “TteunTteun” video titled “Four Brothers’ No-Navigation National Highway Road Trip: Destinations Left to the Spinning Wheel, Routes to the Map Book | Punghyang Middle School EP.1,” stating, “Mr. Jae-suk, thank you for your diligent tax payment. If you need to pay taxes but don’t have time to visit a bank or tax office, please use the ‘Auto-Fill Service’ on the Mobile SonTax app—it’s ‘easy and fee-free.’” They also added, “We look forward to seeing you again next year for your diligent tax payments.”
Earlier, Yoo Jae-suk had mentioned in this content that he needed to stop by the bank before starting the trip, stating, “I’ll go pay my taxes first.”
Yoo Jae-suk explained, “I couldn’t go to the bank because I had continuous filming schedules,” and emphasized, “Taxes must be paid on time,” demonstrating the exemplary attitude of a model taxpayer.
The footage of Yoo Jae-suk visiting a nearby bank to pay his taxes subsequently drew significant attention.
Yoo Jae-suk has become a role model for taxpayers, as it was revealed that even during a rigorous tax audit in 2024, no errors or omissions were found in his tax returns. Tax accountant Yoon Na-gyeom also drew attention on the YouTube channel “Tax Savings TV” by stating, “Assuming he earned 10 billion won, he would pay about 2.7 billion won if he filed based on his books, but under Yoo Jae-suk’s estimated filing method, he must pay 4.1 billion won—a difference of a whopping 1.4 billion won.”
