President Lee Jae-myung applauded the National Tax Service on the 28th for tracking overseas hidden assets held by tax delinquents, calling tax fairness “a very important value.”
 
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Lee thanked NTS Commissioner Lim Gwang-hyeon for “working hard,” noting that Lim took the job after leaving his seat as a lawmaker.
 
The NTS said the previous day it had recovered 33.9 billion won in overseas assets from delinquent taxpayers since Lee’s government launched in July last year.
 
Lim wrote on X the previous day that the agency has recovered a total of 37.2 billion won in delinquent taxes from overseas since 2015, including 33.9 billion won during the nine months since Lee’s government took office. He added that recovery procedures are still underway in locations around the world.
