'Cha Eunwoo-förhindrandelagen' har sitt ursprung i en skatteflyktkontrovers kring Cha Eunwoo, medlem i K-popgruppen ASTRO. Enligt rapporter involverar skandalen ₩20,0 miljarder KRW, vilket väckt betydande folkligt ogillande i den sydkoreanska underhållningsbranschen. Den 1 mars lade lagstiftare ledda av Jeong Yeon Wook från People Power Party fram förslaget för att åtgärda brister i K-pop-agenturers efterlevnad och transparens. Lagstiftningen fokuserar på obligatorisk rapportering och tillsyn för underhållningsbolag, med syfte att förhindra liknande incidenter i branschen. Fantagio, Cha Eunwoos agentur, har svarat på den ökande granskningen kring fallet. Samtidigt har Cha Eunwoo kommenterat situationen under sin militärtjänstgöring. Denna utveckling belyser pågående farhågor kring skatteskandaler i Sydkoreas K-pop-sektor, där förslaget söker att ålägga agenturerna större ansvar.
