1. [+294, -21] Am I the only one thinking 10.2 billion won isn't that much considering it's SM

2. [+225, -8] So it wasn't tax evasion but a miscalculation? That's the result?

3. [+225, -24] So it's over with them paying their additional fees?? Thought there'd be more

4. [+23, -6] So they weren't evading taxes

5. [+23, -5] Well, I hope that teaches everyone who blamed SM for tax evasion~!

1. [+2,239, -196] So was the fee charge domestic tax evasion then?

2. [+1,931, -175] Puts SM in a different light ㅎㅎㅎ Stop media playing to improve your company image

3. [+1,695, -146] Something smells fishy....

4. [+1,196, -105] oh yeah?

5. [+441, -33] So they had to pay an additional 10.2 billion won but there wasn't any tax evasion, gotcha

6. [+441, -42] They got hit with a 10.2 billion won fee and they're saying there was no tax evasion ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+419, -45] I guess they made an agreement with the IRS to settle on 10.2 billion won. SM once again shows they're different. Could've ended up like CJ or Kang Ho Dong if they screwed up...

8. [+381, -23] Then why were they hit with the 10.2 billion won fee if there wasn't tax evasion???

9. [+343, -32] Just how petty of a crime do they think tax evasion is that they're hit straight to the face with a 10.2 billion won fee and they're media playing about how it wasn't tax evasion?

10. [+285, -20] Look at them trying to glamor up the 10.2 billion won charge ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+261, -21] It doesn't matter because SM doesn't have a good image with the public anyway. Their entire company relies on fans. Once a generation of fans have grown up and gotten over them, they've already cultivated another generation of fans to fund them.

12. [+239, -25] SM's lobbying was a success!

13. [+218, -30] Either way, their image is already in the dumpster

14. [+175, -18] Yeah, keep lying...

15. [+169, -13] So why is the article about their 10.2 billion won fee not featured on the main page like this one? ㅋㅋㅋ
