[SPOTV News=Reporter Kang Hyo-jin] As Netflix prepares to premiere The WONDERfools, attention has shifted to Cha Eun-woo, who is facing allegations of evading roughly 20 billion KRW (15 million USD) in taxes.
On April 17, Netflix posted on its official social channels and released a video announcing The WONDERfools: a late‑1990s, end‑of‑the‑world, superpower adventure about a group of unlikely heroes. The series is set to debut on May 15 on Netflix.
The clip highlights Cha Eun-woo as a newly powered character and features Park Eun-bin delivering a line to astonished onlookers: \”Most people wouldn’t call this a superpower,\” a moment that stands out in the preview.
The WONDERfools is a comic‑action adventure set in 1999, when doomsday talk was widespread. A band of clumsy neighborhood residents unexpectedly gain abilities and must take on villains who threaten the peace of Hyesung City. Despite the unfolding tax allegations involving Cha Eun-woo, Netflix has kept the May 15 premiere date.
On the 8th, Cha Eun-woo posted on social media that he respects the National Tax Service’s procedures and findings, that he has paid all related taxes to prevent further confusion, and that he will fully cooperate with any remaining procedures.
In January, reports revealed that Cha Eun-woo had been notified of tax assessments totaling roughly 20 billion KRW (15 million USD) following an intensive audit by the Seoul Regional Tax Office in the first half of last year, igniting controversy. At the time, that assessment represented the largest tax bill ever reported against an entertainer in South Korea.
