A prostitute who boasted she had almost 100 million won ($91,000) in her bank account has attracted the attention of the nation's tax agency.

The girl, who referred to herself as "officetel girl" ― a prostitute targeting people living in officetels (buildings in which people live and work) ― recently posted online a photo of a receipt from an automatic teller machine that showed her bank balance was more than 98 million won.

"Just two million won left to saving 100 million won," the girl posted. "I start working tomorrow. So excited. Bit worried, though, since I still need to earn an additional 100 million won. I just wanted to get cheers from you guys. My occupation is officetel girl."

But instead of cheers, the post attracted netizens who demanded she be investigated for possible tax evasion.

The National Tax Service responded and found possible clues that she committed tax evasion, an online outlet reported Wednesday.

"Given the girl's ATM receipt was real, we could figure out with the help of police how much officetel girls typically earn and how much tax the girl owes the government," a NTS official was quoted as saying.
