[EDIT] The LCK officially confirmed to RFT an internal investigation into Ruler's tax controversy :
"We have been made aware of this situation and initiated a review in line with our internal investigative processes."
Gen.G's ADC finds himself at the center of a growing storm as South Korea's tax authorities confirm a nominal trust violation — and the league weighs its next move.
The Korean League of Legends community was shaken this week as a tax evasion controversy surrounding Gen.G star Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk escalated into a full-blown public affair, with the LCK now openly reviewing whether disciplinary action is warranted.
What Happened
According to documents published on South Korea's National Tax Law Information System on March 26, and first reported by Korean outlet Inven, the National Tax Service (NTS) determined that Park Jae-hyuk had evaded taxes through a nominal trust arrangement — a legal structure in which assets are registered under another person's name, typically a family member, rather than the actual owner's. In Ruler's case, the assets had been placed under his father's name.
Ruler's side appealed the ruling to the Tax Tribunal, but the appeal was dismissed. The player is now liable for the resulting tax obligations.
The Agency's Response
Ruler's management company, Supergent, was quick to issue a statement via Instagram, seeking to frame the situation in a more sympathetic light.
The agency insisted that the funds in question were personal assets on which 100% income tax had already been duly paid at the time they were earned, and that the affair amounted to a case of "administrative negligence resulting in a tax imposition" during the asset management process — not deliberate tax fraud.
