During a recent Weverse live stream, Jeno and Jaemin were engaging with fans when they came across a cheeky viewer comment that read, “Make sure you pay your taxes.” The two idols burst into laughter and promptly replied, “Yes,” and “We’re paying our taxes well,” earning praise for their quick wit and candidness.
The clip quickly went viral across online communities and social media, with fans and netizens alike finding humor and relief in the idols’ response. Comments ranged from “Glad to hear that, what a relief,” to “It’s funny how the fans are worried and the idols are so quick to reassure them,” and “At least our boys are responsible.”
This lighthearted exchange comes in stark contrast to the storm surrounding Cha Eunwoo, who reportedly underwent a high-intensity tax audit by the Seoul Regional Tax Office’s Investigation Bureau No. 4 in the first half of last year. The K-pop idol and actor is alleged to have received a notice of ₩20 billion in back taxes, marking the largest tax evasion case involving a celebrity in Korea’s history.
With Eunwoo’s case drawing nationwide attention, Jeno and Jaemin’s moment of levity provided a much-needed break and perhaps a subtle reminder of the importance of transparency and responsibility in the public eye.
