The growing popularity of television personality and South Korean national Ryan Bang made tax officials “curious” about his financial state and whether he was paying taxes, according to Internal Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue on Thursday filed a complaint for tax evasion against a Korean television show host. Hyun Sung Bank, also known as Ryan Bang, allegedly violated sections 254 and 255 of the National Internal Revenue Code for attempting to evade tax payments and failing to file tax returns for 2010 and 2011.
