Yaongyi has since taken down the photo, but that has not stopped netizens from asking if she was the webtoon author in question.

  • “Please pay your taxes. According to articles, you have been purchasing everything under your company’s name. You didn’t fool me with your boasting. That’s why we need a green license plate (for company vehicles).”
  • “Did you evade taxes? I saw it on the news.”
  • “The tax-evading webtoon author is Yaongyi. I think you should explain yourself.”
  • “You didn’t evade taxes, right? I’m asking because I am worried.”
  • “I thought you bought everything with your money, but it was bought with unpaid tax money. How much do they need to dislike you for the news to make it so obvious they were talking about you?”
  • “Never-ending wedding photos, never-ending truth behind you evading taxes.”
  • “You acted so high and mighty, but the result is tax evasion.”

Yaongyi is a popular webtoon author who rose to stardom after her webtoon, True Beauty, was made into a drama.
