The Nature of the Investigation Bureau 4 Probe
According to reports from several media outlets, Investigation Bureau 4 of the Seoul Regional Tax Office—a unit known for handling high-profile tax audits—investigated the ASTRO member in 2025. In South Korea, Bureau 4's involvement often signals a non-routine, 'special' investigation, which immediately sparked intense public debate.
