Allegations of tax evasion: HoneyPuu responds
What allegations are we talking about? The Twitch streamer HoneyPuu, who currently lives on the island of Madeira, has repeatedly expressed her wish to move to South Korea one day. Now she wants to realize this dream and is planning her emigration again. However, this decision has met with mixed reactions from her community, with some accusing her of tax evasion.
How does she respond to the allegations? In a recently aired stream, HoneyPuu addressed these allegations. Additionally, she released a TikTok on May 27 summarizing the relevant stream excerpt.
She explained that many people think she wants to move to Korea just because there are tax advantages. She vehemently rejected this and stated that taxes in Korea are just as high as in Germany. “This statement makes no sense at all,” she emphasized.
Why does she want to emigrate? In response to a question from her chat about why she wants to emigrate to Korea, HoneyPuu replied: “Why not? Do I have to stay in Germany or why? Can’t I just live in another country because I think it’s cool?”
She further explained that she had already outlined her reasons for emigration several times, but they apparently weren’t convincing enough.
Moreover, she doesn’t even know how long she wants to stay in Korea – whether for one year, two years, or forever. “I want to stay there as long as I think it’s cool. If I don’t like it, I’ll go back after a year,” she explained. Her conclusion: “Life is meant to gather experiences and enjoy it.”
A long-held dream
Why did she want to emigrate to Korea before? In an older TikTok clip from one of her streams recorded during a stay in Korea, HoneyPuu already talked about her long-held desire to move to Korea.
She shared that she was “extremely young” when she began to inform herself about the requirements for emigration. Her dream back then was to become an English teacher in Korea. However, her English skills, according to her own statement, were not sufficient, which is why she decided to become a German teacher instead.
But even that plan failed: “But I can’t do that either because somehow no one here wants to learn German, which I can understand,” she explained.
Despite these setbacks, HoneyPuu has not given up on her dream and looks forward to living in Korea, at least for a certain period.
The Twitch streamer HoneyPuu originally wished to become a police officer. However, an illness prevented her from realizing this dream, which is why she turned to live streaming instead.
