What is unbelievable is that he is so wealthy but he didn't get advice from legal and accounting professionals who would have told him better ways to evade - i mean avoid paying a lot of tax.
When you are dealing with millions you cant rely on your mother to manage your money.
I don't know what he was thinking.

And he cant plead ignorance or blame it on others because he is a grown man and has ultimate responsibility for paying his taxes.

Paying taxes is a scam but I dont mind paying if I get services like healthcare and education. I dont want my tax money waisted, going to corrupt officials or paying to fund a genocide by israel in gaza. BUT if we should or should not pay taxes, well that is a totally different discussion and not relevant here.


EDIT: "etoks21 " stop being such a vile human being. If you dont agree with an opinion then debate the argument using facts instead of hurling personal insults. You have done that to me and many others here. If you cant debate then dont respond.
PS thanks for blocking me. I m done with you now.

PS I have started to delete some of my posts here. lol there is a lot.

Its hard to tell colour by photos. I worked in southern europe and i saw some very very white skinned people turn very brown in summer. That was extreme. I usually go red and then gold but dont tan much..

I also like diversity. Koreans unfortunately have this beauty standard which doesn't make sense to me. I find Korean male actors good looking but I find the Korean woman (celebrities) have similar bland faces and they all generally look the same. I cant tell the difference between most of the Korean actresses. I also cant tell the difference between most female kpop idols in general. Also i dont like and listen to kpop and maybe that is why. I do listen to OST sometimes and their are some good songs.

Re the muscular hulks or the gym bros. They must be all gay. I say that because most women aren't attracted to that type - so they are not building up for women. I conclude that they must spend hours in the gym building muscle to be attractive and appeal to other gym bros. lol am I wrong?



The bls that i found funny were "Knock Knock Boys!" and "OMG! Vampire" I loved the character Latte in KKBoys.
I dont think there was background laughter. " I Will Knock You" is also funny. The most beautiful count whihc i have not finished is funny as well - the actor Nut is good.

I found the antics in older bls mischievous and they would make me laugh. A lot of bl characters in older bls misbehaved in ways that would not be acceptable in todays puritan age. I found " Love by Chance" funny. Remember its fiction and not real life, where my judgment would differ.

Also you CEW fans should help him pay his tax bill out of your own pockets. Otherwise you cant call yourselves fans. Show some sincerity.

Make me. And seriously who do you think you are? And what right do you think you have to simply order people to behave in certain ways.

Also go and DEMAND the tax korean authorities to stop blaming and judging him. They are the ones responsible as they judged him for evading taxes.

Seriously I would not bother to argue with Sher1264 who argued that the rich are honest and charitable and pay their fair share of tax.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers

Some of us know

I do know. I worked as an accountant in the big4. I also worked in private banking for high net work individuals. We had a dept that marketed tax avoidance products. I am aware that they use various legal schemes to avoid paying tax such as setting up companies and a trusts and offshore accounts. Do you know that some accountants can actually file on behalf of high net work individuals.

Any rational person would minimise taxes and they are very rational in how they structure their income and assets. And this may shock you but they dont hire accountants and lawyers so that they can pay their fair share of tax.

Even some millionaires/billionares have stated that the system is unfair. Buffett had said that he paid about 17% effective tax rate on his income, while his secretary paid 36% on hers.

Have you heard of the Panama papers. Obviously you have been sleeping when the offshore accounts were exposed. Go on I dare you to obtain some knowledge of what the wealthy do. Do you know how to use google?

Sorry to wound your ego and expose your ignorance, but try to educate yourself and get some knowledge how things work instead of arguing that these rich people are charitable and want to pay tax .

The ethics of paying taxies and how much we should pay is different argument.
I agree that our tax money is wasted and misspent on things that dont benefit society. I certainly dont want my money funding a genocide in Gaza because my politicians have been bought by israel. I dont want my money going to projects that benefit certain rich people or companies instead of welfare, education, healthcare. But that is not the issue here.

The issue is that billionaires/millionaires are not paying a fair share of taxes proportionate to their earnings when they can afford to. The burden falls to middle and working class who are struggling.

I heard about this poor bank yesterday and I was laughing so much.
You couldnt make it up.
Somebody should turn this into a comedy kdrama.

lol - well lets hope the tax man is sympathetic and understanding that the reason he set up a company was to protect himself from a rolling door ceo situation.
Its just pure coincidence that it also magically decreased his taxable earnings. That was just very fortunate for him.

I agree it happens a lot - but we don't all sell our brand and our "image of integrity" to make more money. Once you do that you deserve that scrutiny when you do something wrong.

There are plenty of tax evasion ....i mean legal tax avoidance schemes to help out the rich -after all they wrote the rules. Its the middle and poorer classes that have a heavier tax burden. Buffett had said that he paid about 17% effective tax rate on his income, while his secretary paid 36% on hers.
Damn us for not being billionaires.

You are right. I also think that pretty people shouldnt pay tax.

We should all have empathy for the rich and their money problems. Its so unfair that they should have to pay tax like the rest of us. The tax money has got to come from somewhere.
This is where braindead, i mean devoted fans like yourself come in. Please help him and pay up his 20bn tax instead.

If you (and all his fans) cant help this poor pretty boy with his money problems, then you are all just fake fans and probably haters. And you dont really like him more.

Thanks for sharing. This is so amusing and I cant stop laughing.
Committing tax fraud and being brand ambassador of a bank - couldn't make this up.
I think i have come up with a kdrama comedy plot.

lol - maybe his braindead female fans can offer to pay more tax so that pretty millionaires can be spared of that heavy burden.

People - even pretty millionaires have to pay their share of tax.

Unless his mother and accountants committed fraud, he signed of on this and had knowledge. And he is ultimately responsible.

lol this is CEW version of the dog ate my homework.

Jeff Satur has both the looks and the voice. He is one of the most attractive and striking actors with gorgeous bone structure. I like his voice but Im not a good judge of judging voices(like i cant say if his is better than Billkin or how it differs) although I can tell that Bright is not too good.

I watched an older kdrama (2010) and its nice to see Korean actors with their natural colour. The same actors have become very white after 2020. I prefer them with the natural colour.

I have to admit that i think the asian actors with dark hair and eyes and snow white skin look so attractive. The chinese dramas particularly take it to the extreme but it looks so good. I was teased for being too white (everybody tanned in my country - not the uk ) but the Chinese actors make me feel inadequately white.
I think that dramas should use actors that represent the population otherwise it leads to discrimination in society. It becomes aspirational to be white. It sends a bad message.

I can tell the diff between the typical Thai, Japanese, Korean and Chinese actors "typical" looks but Thai is more mixed as you say.
I do think i prefer Guns pretty features more. And the fringe gives him a pixie look.

I had liked the actors

Im so sorry for the fans of this ship and that you are sad.
I didnt wish for the end of this partnership with Ping (but Im not a big fan of ships in general)
Hopefully they can take on roles and partner with different actors like Pond (from restart) and we can see them grow as actors.

I gave possible reasons why its impossible to continue to have a discussion, and I tried to understand the reasons why you dont see what what others see. I was trying to understand why you are arguing that something did not happen when it did. You are the only one arguing that Jimmy has integrity.

Either way I concluded that its impossible to continue based on your interpretation of reality v mine (and many others). We all have subjective opinions but yours diverge greatly. It wasn't a personal insult.

Its your choice to get emotional about a fact, accuse others of throwing a tantrum, and then throw one yourself.

@aplrbn: What are the production standards that thai bls deliver to make them superior to Korean and Japan bls.
Could you give OBJECTIVE examples of what Thai bl productions do better. Can you back your opinions with some facts .
How are Thai bl production standards considered superior?

Show us your objective knowledge about directing, lighting, acting, editing etc.
