On June 26, 2024, Boon hosted the '2022 Boon Interesting Lecture! 'Triple Standard'' that raised suspicion of 'tax evasion', which was actually an intentional social experiment by Satell Entertainment. The company did not agree to pay an entertainment tax of over 26,000 yuan, which they appealed against but lost the case. Boon previously explained his 'tax evasion' as a challenge to the 'absurd law', believing that complying with the tax would be like being 'recognized by the tax authorities as ridiculous'. The court ruled in favor of the tax bureau, with Boon's events being classified as stand-up comedy subject to entertainment tax, despite their claim of being a lecture. The company plans to consider appealing the decision after receiving the court ruling. The prolonged dispute highlighted Boon's belief in challenging the 'double standard' of the tax law, even at the cost of more taxes being imposed.
