The Netflix series is a comedic superhero adventure set at the turn of the millennium in 1999, following a group of ordinary neighborhood misfits who accidentally gain superpowers and struggle to save the world from villains threatening peace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The series has drawn attention with a production team behind dramas such as &#8220;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&#8221; and &#8220;Dr. Romantic.&#8221; It also marks a reunion between director Yoo In-sik and actress Park Eun-bin from &#8220;Extraordinary Attorney Woo.&#8221; Alongside Park, the cast includes Cha Eun-woo, Choi Dae-hoon and Im Sung-jae.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">&#8220;The Wonderfools&#8221; has attracted particular interest as it is Cha&#8217;s first post-controversy project. Earlier this year, he faced allegations of owing hundreds of billions of won in unpaid taxes. He also faced criticism over suspicions that a one-person corporation established under his mother\u2019s name may have been used for tax avoidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">On April 8, Cha Eun-woo said, \u201cI respect the National Tax Service\u2019s procedures and conclusions, and to prevent further confusion, I have paid all related taxes. Having carried out my activities with so much love and support, I take this matter very seriously. If there were aspects I did not examine carefully enough, I take full responsibility for that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\"><em style=\"font-style:italic;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 153, 153);\">This article from the Hankook Ilbo, the sister publication of The Korea Times, is translated by a generative AI system and edited by The Korea Times.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ktViewTypeBody\" value=\"NORMAL\"\/><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.koreatimes.co.kr \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer and actor Cha Eun-woo \/ Courtesy of Fantagio Singer and actor Cha Eun-woo will return with a new project next month.
