On March 9th, Gangnam District in Seoul held the 2026 Distinguished Taxpayer Commendation Ceremony at the district office. The ceremony recognized 10 taxpayers who contributed to the local community through diligent tax payments, and they were awarded commendations on the day. Notably, this year’s distinguished taxpayers included five individuals and five corporations, with Yuri among those honored.
Gangnam District selects distinguished taxpayers every year in order to promote a mature tax culture. The selection applies to individuals, organizations, and corporations that have either a residence or business in Gangnam District. To qualify, candidates must have no tax arrears over the past 10 years and must have faithfully paid at least two local taxes each year for eight consecutive years. In addition, individuals or organizations must have paid at least 10 million won in taxes in the previous year, while corporations must have paid at least 50 million won. Contributions to district development and the local community are also considered during the selection process.
Those selected as distinguished taxpayers are known to receive various benefits, including discounts on health checkups at partnered medical institutions and reduced ticket prices for performances. Meanwhile, recent tax evasion allegations involving celebrities have sparked public debate, with ASTRO member Cha Eun Woo and actor Kim Seon Ho recently facing related controversies.
Yuri debuted in 2007 as a member of SM Entertainment’s girl group Girls’ Generation. The group released numerous hit songs such as “Gee,” “Oh!,” and “I GOT A BOY,” establishing themselves as one of the representative girl groups of K-pop. In addition to group activities, Yuri also released her first solo album The First Scene in 2018, demonstrating her vocal abilities as a solo artist.
She began her acting career in earnest with the 2012 drama Fashion King. Later, she gained recognition for her stable acting through the 2017 drama Innocent Defendant, steadily building her career as an actress. In 2021, the historical drama Bossam: Steal the Fate, in which she played the lead role, achieved great success by recording the highest ratings in MBN drama history, solidifying her position as an actress.
Beyond dramas, Yuri has also showcased her versatility through stage plays and entertainment programs such as The Genius Paik, continuing to expand her presence across various fields in the entertainment industry.
