It has been revealed that rapper Dok2(Lee Jun-kyung)has paid all of the over 600 million won in unpaid taxes.

According to a News 1 report on the 2nd, Dok2 recently paid all of his unpaid taxes, including comprehensive income tax, local taxes, and health insurance premiums, totaling 672 million won.Dok2 was on the list of habitual and high-amount tax delinquents of the National Tax Service and the National Health Insurance Corporation, having failed to pay a total of five comprehensive income tax and local taxes and 17 million won in health insurance premiums between 2022 and 2023.

Dok2 once received attention as a “wealthy rapper” by revealing his luxurious lifestyle of supercars, expensive watches, and wads of cash through broadcasts and SNS, but he was criticized by the public when his tax arrears were revealed.After the tax arrears were revealed, he expressed his grievances in the song “Arrears” released in January 2023 with lyrics such as “Before you treat me like an ignorant child with nothing in my head, there’s not a single person who wonders why.” However, this song was closer to an explanation and appeal of feelings than reflection, and could not avoid the public’s cold reaction.

Meanwhile, Dok2 also shared the news of his mother’s death in March.At the time, he said, “My mother, who had been suffering from pneumonia, diabetes, and stroke for over three years, passed away peacefully on Valentine’s Day, just before her birthday.”

Dok2, who debuted in 2005 as a member of the hip-hop duo All Black, gained public recognition through ‘Show Me the Money 3’ and ‘I Live Alone’.
