Today our petition passed 20,000 signatures.

Reaching 20,000 signatures shows how strongly people around the world care about fairness, transparency, and due process.

Korea Taxpayers Association, a civic organisation protecting taxpayer's rights,ย  previously filed a formal complaint regarding the alleged leak of confidential tax investigation information related to Cha Eun-woo. President Kim Seon-taek appeared at the Seoul Namdaemun Police Station's Intelligent Crime Investigation Team on the 6th and was questioned as a whistle-blower . He said โ€œ The victim of this tax information leak incident is not limited to Cha Eun-woo. Since the publicโ€™s trust in the โ€˜ tax information confidentiality guarantee โ€™ guaranteed by the National Tax Basic Act has been damaged, virtually all citizens are victims . โ€ and argued that releasing such information violate Koreaโ€™s tax confidentiality laws and personal information protections, which exist to safeguard the rights of all taxpayers.

He also pointed to the tax official reward system as the reason for the tax information leak . According to the Taxpayers' Association, the National Tax Basic Act stipulates that tax officials be paid rewards of up to 10% of their tax collection results , with a maximum limit of 20 million won . He further explained that โ€œ20 million won is equivalent to the annual salary of a 9th- grade civil servant ,โ€ and that โ€œ this reward system may undermines the fairness and objectivity of taxation and is highly likely to be abused. Therefore the reward system should be abolished. โ€ and โ€œ The police must thoroughly investigate to prevent another incident where tax information is leaked externally and an individualโ€™s human rights are violated . โ€

The Korea Taxpayers Association emphasized that this action is not about defending a specific individual, but about protecting the principle that, tax investigations should remain confidential until the legal process is complete. Unauthorized disclosure of investigation details can cause severe reputational harm and undermine public trust in institutions.

The association also warned that similar situations in the past have shown how unverified or prematurely released information can damage lives and reputations, stressing the importance of respecting legal procedures and protecting human rights throughout any investigation.

This is exactly why due process matters.

No matter the outcome of any investigation, the principles of fair procedure, privacy protection, and responsible reporting must apply to everyone equally.

The growing support for this petition shows that thousands of people believe in these values.

Thank you for continuing to stand for:

Fair and transparent legal processes
Protection of personal rights during investigations
Responsible handling of sensitive information
Respect for truth and integrity
Your voices are making a difference.

Our Call to Action continues

National Tax Service - to investigate the leak and allow a fair, due process

Ministry of Defense - to make public the storytelling videos of Cha Eun Woo that are being withheld as this implies guilt without regard to presumption of innocence and to continue to benefit from his enlistment by making use of his talents in public facing activities

Korea Press Ethics Commission and Press Arbitration Commission to review recent media coverage concerning Cha Eun-Wooโ€™s tax-related matters, with particular attention to accuracy, balance, and adherence to established journalistic standards.ย 

Media outlets: Report responsibly, factually, and without speculation.

Brands & partners: Refrain from premature judgments or actions.

We will continue to monitor developments and share updates as more verified information becomes available.

Thank you for standing together.
