Hello, this is Cha Eunwoo.
I sincerely bow my head in apology for causing many people worry and disappointment due to various recent matters related to me.
Through this incident, I am deeply reflecting on myself and questioning whether my attitude toward fulfilling my duty as a citizen of the Republic of Korea particularly my obligation to pay taxes was sufficiently strict and responsible.
Over the past several days, I have spent time reflecting, thinking carefully about what I should say first so that even a small part of my remorse could be conveyed to those who were hurt because of me.
I worried that a long explanation might sound like an excuse or cause further fatigue, but I ultimately came to believe that it was my duty to speak directly and offer my apology regarding this matter.
As I write this, I have just finished my daily duties within my unit. Although I am currently serving in the military, this was by no means an intentional choice to avoid this controversy. Last year, I reached a point where I could no longer postpone my military enlistment and therefore enlisted before fully concluding the tax audit process.
However, since this misunderstanding also stems from my own shortcomings, I feel a deep sense of responsibility. If I were not serving as a soldier, I would want to personally visit everyone who may have been affected by this issue and bow my head in apology. With that same sincerity, I am writing these words now.
For the past 11 long years, despite being someone with more shortcomings than strengths, I have been able to stand in the undeserved position of “Cha Eun-woo” today thanks to the boundless love and support you have given me. Because of that, even if I cannot properly repay all those who trusted and supported me, as well as the many people I have worked with, I feel indescribably sorry for causing such great hurt and exhaustion.
I will faithfully comply with all future tax-related procedures. In addition, I will humbly accept the final decision made by the relevant authorities and fully take responsibility in accordance with that outcome.
Going forward, I will hold myself to even stricter standards and live with a greater sense of responsibility, striving to repay the love I have received.
Once again, I sincerely apologize for causing concern.

Sincerely,
Cha Eunwoo
