'PD Notebook' has re-examined allegations of an affair and gambling involving singer MC Mong and Cha Ga-won, chairwoman of the PIAC Group.

In its broadcast on the 2nd, MBC's 'PD Notebook' aired an episode titled "MC Mong and the Chairwoman's K-Pop Trade Secrets," focusing on reports of exclusive contract disputes among singers who were leaving One Hundred Label, an entertainment agency, as well as allegations of overseas gambling and embezzlement related to the company's fund management.

On that day, 'PD Notebook' met with Mr. A, a representative of a major construction company and Cha Ga-won's younger uncle. Mr. A claimed that a single text message sent by MC Mong was the beginning of everything.

Mr. A then revealed the message he received from MC Mong. It was a confession that MC Mong was dating Cha Ga-won and that she had provided him with gambling funds. He also stated that MC Mong visited him in person a few days later.

When asked what MC Mong said upon his visit, Mr. A stated, "He said he was dating Cha Ga-won. He said he was leaving the company. He said he was taken by Cha Ga-won. He said he would spread this to the media." He further claimed, "MC Mong came to blackmail me. He came to threaten me. He said, 'Your niece is trying to kill me, so you must stop her.' He came to blackmail me with that."

According to the message released by Mr. A, MC Mong told him, "I was dating Ga-won. We started dating three years ago after much deliberation. Although she was married, I was moved by her promise to divorce and by her caring and protective nature." He also said, "I gambled like a man, and I gambled with Cha Ga-won. Cha Ga-won even paid off my gambling debts."

Cha Ga-won and MC Mong co-founded the One Hundred Label in December 2023. Since then, the two have rapidly expanded their influence in the entertainment industry, leveraging their substantial capital to acquire and absorb companies such as Big Planet Made Entertainment, Million Market, and INB100, which includes EXO's EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin).

However, Cha Ga-won and MC Mong's unstoppable momentum began to falter in June last year when MC Mong was suddenly excluded from all operations. Following this, allegations of an affair surfaced alongside reports of hundreds of billions of won in abnormal financial transactions between Cha Ga-won, who was married, and MC Mong, triggering significant controversy.

Nevertheless, both MC Mong and Cha Ga-won's side have completely denied the affair allegations. In particular, they claimed that the conversation messages released by a certain media outlet that first raised the suspicion were fabricated. The court has already issued an order to delete and prohibit the distribution of the article in question.

Recently, a controversy over unpaid settlement funds has emerged, leading to a wave of contract terminations and preliminary injunction applications from key artists, including Lee Mu-jin, The Boyz, Lee Seung-gi, VIVIZ (Eunha, SinB, and Umji) from Girls' Generation, and EXO-CBX, putting the company on the verge of a large-scale exodus.

Meanwhile, Cha Ga-won's side filed for a preliminary injunction against 'PD Notebook,' arguing that the preview content was filmed without consent and maliciously edited, citing "serious infringement of portrait and voice rights" and "severe defamation through malicious distortion and editing." They demanded a payment of 10 million won for each violation.

However, on the 2nd, the Seoul Western District Court rejected Cha Ga-won's application for a preliminary injunction to prohibit the broadcast of MBC's 'PD Notebook,' including the request to ban the use of her portrait.
