MBC's 'PD Notebook' previewed the behind-the-scenes details surrounding the chairman of One Hundred Label, Cha Ga-won, as mentioned by MC Mong.

'PD Notebook' released a preview video titled 'MC Mong and the Chairman's K-Pop Business Secrets' on the 29th and announced plans to air the full episode on June 2.

The preview included photos believed to show Cha Ga-won and MC Mong departing the country together, as well as interviews with entertainment industry figures regarding One Hundred Label, which is embroiled in a controversy over unpaid fees.

One source stated, in essence, that "there are rumors that Cha (Chairman) gave MC Mong several hundred billion won," and Cha Ga-won, in an interview with the 'PD Notebook' production team, said, "If I speak, the entire entertainment industry could be turned upside down."

MC Mong recently drew attention by conducting a revealing live broadcast. During his third live broadcast, MC Mong said, "I received a precious tip. The tipster is a precious and important person. Tips on crimes and incidents are necessary and must be protected. We must protect them, but there are criminals who exploit them and groups colluding with them," while mentioning certain media outlets, MBC, and some PDs from TV Chosun.

He continued, "They try to make me a sex offender, a proxy prescriber of sedatives, and a drug offender. I hope they find and verify the tipsters who are being exploited for crimes. Without verification, they are not media." He further claimed, "MBC PDs Kim Kyung-hee and Park Ga-young are going to Las Vegas to cover me. They will meet Cha Jun-young, my close friend and confidant, at a Chinese restaurant, eat, and conspire. I will report all of this. This is a violation of the Anti-Graft Act, and they should not be at MBC."

MC Mong also mentioned the real name of a TV Chosun PD who approached him for coverage related to his alleged gambling addiction. He said, "I received 2 billion won in the name of investment in 2022, which I lost to gambling, and eventually, the company's singers received performance advances to cover the loss, and they repaid the 22 billion won. Is that true?" He added, "What truly makes me feel wronged is that since the Million Market incident, I never used a company card once. I sold my copyrights to save the company. I sold my copyrights because I was worried I couldn't pay my employees' salaries. At no time during the Million Market incident did the company ever delay paying salaries."

He further stated, "How can a person do such a thing? How can they gamble with children's performance fees?" He said, "I called Cha Jun-young ten days ago. I clearly told them that I had given them that opportunity. I called and said, 'Father, I am so sorry. Please stop everything. Please, Cha Ga-won is also family, and I once called you father. Please stop. I just want to be neutral.' I am not the kind of person who fights like a fighting rooster. I wanted to stop." He continued, "However, that recording was sent to MBC and TV Chosun, and I received another text message. They changed their story, claiming that I called Cha Jun-young first, mentioned my stance regarding Cha Ga-won, and asked to be neutral. Regarding the suspicion that company funds were used for gambling, they asked to be excluded from the report."

MC Mong also refuted allegations of prostitution by releasing KakaoTalk messages exchanged with an acquaintance. According to the messages, MC Mong's acquaintance sent a text saying, "When my older brother's girlfriend and my friends went to drink wine," to which MC Mong replied, "They are trying to make us look like strange sex workers. Cha Jun-young's side contacted us saying they would give as much money as we want for an interview. Does it make sense to say, 'We will reveal everything about real people and give you money, so please testify'? Because of that video, I can't even live my social life, and I feel like I could die. Does money matter more? I am so wronged I can't even sleep."

Previously, during his first live broadcast, MC Mong revealed the existence of an illegal gambling group known as 'Baduk-i,' which included celebrities, naming Kim Min-jong and several other celebrities, causing a major stir. In response, Kim Min-jong's side stated, "This is clearly false information."

Subsequently, during his second live broadcast, MC Mong mentioned Kim Min-jong, Cha Jun-young, the uncle of One Hundred Label chairman Cha Ga-won, and former So Sok-sa (CEO) Kim Ho-joong, claiming, "This group is looking for people who know things about MC Mong, or people who will make up stories, by offering large sums of money to women around me, women I don't know at all, and women working in the entertainment industry."
