Rapper Dok2, 'tax delinquent' for 2 consecutive years after paying 300 million won in taxes

It has been reported that rapper Dok2 (real name Lee Jun-kyung) owed approximately 300 million won in taxes and did not pay 10 million won in health insurance premiums.

On the 1st, a list of the four major insurance premiums and habitual defaulters was released on the National Health Insurance Corporation website. The posted list included Dok2.

Dogi had delinquent health insurance premiums of 16.66 million won from 2018 to 2019, and his personal information was disclosed for two consecutive years in 2020 and 2021. Since the standard for arrears is 2021, it is expected that 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 was also included in the list of 6,940 large and habitual delinquents released by the National Tax Service on the 15th of last month. The total arrears amount to 332 million won in five cases, including comprehensive income tax.

Meanwhile, Jo Deok-bae, who was popular in the 1980s with songs such as 'In a Dream' and 'If You Come into My Heart', is also on this list. As of the end of 2021, the total arrears amounted to 32.39 million won.
