Last year, SSG.com announced that Cha Eun-woo, who was selected as an exclusive beauty model, had been moved to private on its YouTube channel with videos featuring him. Although the reason for the move was not disclosed, the fact that the move was taken after allegations of tax evasion involving around 20 billion won surfaced, suggesting the impact of the change. Additionally, skincare brand Aviv made Cha Eun-woo's advertising videos and posts private, and subsequently, other financial, fashion, and education sectors such as Shinhan Bank, Marité-François-Gervaux, and Daesung MyMac took similar actions. In particular, even after Cha Eun-woo and his agency Fantagio released their statements, SSG.com switched its advertisements to private, and currently, the Ministry of National Defense, where Cha Eun-woo works, is also operating the Defense Public Relations Service . The YouTube channel 'KFN Plus' also made the content Cha Eun-woo appeared on as a storyteller private. Additionally, the Ministry of National Defense is considering requesting reappointments, and on the 28th, the Inspection Office of the Ministry of National Defense Service Support Group questioned Cha Eun-woo's suitability for the military band   position. They are receiving complaints related to requests for re-examination and reappointment review and continuing their investigation. With a year left before the military discharge, the military band is now at risk of being expelled, drawing attention to how to respond going forward.
