Singer MC Mong has bowed his head regarding the controversy surrounding the allegations involving actor KIM MIN JONG. This comes four days after KIM MIN JONG's side submitted a complaint for defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act.

On the 5th, MC Mong stated through a personal live broadcast, "It was my fault to have even mentioned KIM MIN JONG," and "We met in person, had a conversation, and resolved the misunderstanding well." He continued, saying, "KIM MIN JONG gave me a warm hug," and expressed that he would humbly accept whatever news comes out in the future.

Previously, during a live broadcast in May, MC Mong made claims suggesting that KIM MIN JONG was involved in illegal gambling and other activities. In response, KIM MIN JONG's side filed a complaint at the Jongno Police Station in Seoul on the 1st, claiming the allegations were "groundless." KIM MIN JONG's side argued that the controversy not only damaged the reputation he had built over 38 years but also caused immense damage, such as the suspension of his appearance in an upcoming Hollywood project and the termination of advertising contracts.

Immediately after the lawsuit was filed, MC Mong showed a tough stance, asking, "Do you think I get sued only once or twice?" However, the conflict entered a new phase after he met in person to apologize. However, the future direction of legal action, such as whether KIM MIN JONG's side will withdraw the complaint, has not yet been confirmed.
