‘Financial model’ Lim Young-woong, tax delinquency → penthouse seizure then lifted “Payment immediately after notification” [Official]

Singer Lim Young-woong experienced a situation where his house was seized and then lifted due to tax delinquency.

On the 26th, Biz Korea reported that Lim Young-woong had his Mecenatpolis apartment complex located in Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul seized after he had failed to pay local taxes.

According to the report, the Mapo-gu Office in Seoul seized the Mecenatpolis penthouse owned by Lim Young-woong on October 16 of last year. The seizure registration was canceled three months later on January 13. The media also added that it took about a year to cancel the seizure, including the period of the Mapo-gu Office‘s delinquent tax collection and seizure notice.

Regarding this, Lim Young-woong’s agency, Fish Music, explained to Donga.com, “Lim Young-woong‘s residential apartment is not located in the basement or on the first floor, which is the entrance, but on the third floor. Because of this, he was unable to check his mail for a certain period of time and was unable to receive local tax notices, which eventually led to him receiving a seizure notice.” They added, “After learning of this fact early this year, he immediately paid the taxes, and the seizure has currently been lifted,” and “We deeply apologize for not looking into it carefully and causing this to happen.”
