Dok2 consistently makes excuses for ‘tax delinquency’

Rapper Dok2 released a new song. The name of the new song was 'Delinquent'. He was criticized for the news of hundreds of millions of won in tax delinquency. The song 'Delinquent Payment' contains Dok2's excuse. Making a mistake and pretending it was a mistake. This is why it is disappointing that there is no apology.

Dok2 recently released his single album 'Behind the Gods'. The title song of the new album was 'Delinquent'. Dok2 directly stated his position regarding the 'large arrears' that were raised earlier.

The lyrics express how Dok2 views the 'delinquency controversy'. Dok2 indirectly explained that he does not care about the controversy over concerns, saying, "If I made a mistake, it's only the first time for even me. It's the same whether you have money or not, you're lonely."

He also said, "Before you treat me like a child with no sense in my head, there isn't a single person here who wonders why," and "I'm using hip-hop to talk about things that don't exist. , money, car, gold necklace, penthouse, fake flexing, please give me my name." He announced that he is strong, saying, "I have never shown anything to spread the word, I have only given a lot of inspiration from nothing, and I am still the only real MC in Korea."

Dok2 was also included in the list of 6,940 large and habitual delinquents recently released by the National Tax Service. The total arrears amount to 332 million won in five cases, including comprehensive income tax.

In addition, they were included in the list of the four major insurance premiums and habitual defaulters. Dok2 was delinquent in health insurance premiums worth 16.66 million won from 2018 to 2019. Some say that because the standard for arrears is 2021, the amount will rise further.

The National Health Insurance Corporation is disclosing the list of those who have not paid health insurance premiums worth more than 10 million won for more than a year after giving them an opportunity to voluntarily pay and explain for a certain period of time. Those who are judged to have the ability to pay health insurance premiums but are not paying are eligible for the list.

Dok2 concluded that tax delinquency was a simple mistake. In addition, rather than reflecting on and apologizing for tax delinquency, the 'firmness of self-consciousness' was revealed first. In addition, in response to criticism that he did not pay the money, he indirectly expressed his achievements as a rapper.

The focus of the controversy and the basis for the explanation do not match at all. He probably wanted to hide his 'sin' and confidently express himself to the public. However, with the release of this new song, Dok2 has blown away the opportunity for explanation. The reason Dok2's decision to make an excuse rather than apologize is disappointing.

Dok2 has been showing off his wealth through numerous broadcast programs. Living in a luxury hotel worth tens of millions of won a month, luxury watches and luxury cars. Everything was his effort and his achievements as a rapper.

Dok2 was an enabling object in the industry. I ended up discrediting myself for the value of the name that seemed like it would be advertised. This is because they did not fulfill their 'duty' and avoided responsibility. Dok2 wanted respect even though he made mistakes without reflecting on them. His name is gradually being forgotten in the domestic hip-hop world.
