Actor Kim Min-jong directly revealed the reason he dropped his lawsuit against MC Mong and shared his feelings about the collapse of his appearance in a Hollywood film.

On the episode of the SBS variety show "My Unpretty Little Rider" broadcast on the 11th, Kim Min-jong was shown inviting Yoon Min-soo and Lee Jong-hyuk to his second home in Yangpyeong, where he opened up about the mental strain he had been enduring.

Previously, MC Mong claimed during a live broadcast in May that an illegal gambling group involving celebrities existed, naming Kim Min-jong as one of those involved. In response, Kim Min-jong's side completely denied the allegations and filed a lawsuit against MC Mong on September 1 for defamation through the dissemination of false facts.

At the time, Kim Min-jong's side argued that his reputation and trust had been damaged by the controversy, and that he suffered losses such as the suspension of negotiations regarding his upcoming Hollywood project and advertising contracts.

Subsequently, MC Mong met with Kim Min-jong directly to apologize and acknowledged that his remarks were wrong. Kim Min-jong accepted this and dropped the lawsuit on September 9, concluding the legal dispute.

On this day, Yoon Min-soo asked Kim Min-jong why he had quickly dropped the lawsuit against MC Mong. In response, Kim Min-jong stated, "It is for my own sake. For my own sake," explaining that he judged there would be no improvement even if the legal battle continued.

Following this, when Lee Jong-hyuk asked whether he had received an apology from MC Mong and resolved the matter amicably, Kim Min-jong explained, "He apologized very sincerely, and I wondered what meaning it would have to push further from here," adding that he dropped the lawsuit to put his own mind at ease.

Kim Min-jong also expressed regret over the canceled film appearance. When Yoon Min-soo asked if it was possible to proceed with the film appearance again, Kim Min-jong revealed that time had already passed and another actor had been cast.

He then expressed sympathy, noting that since he had prepared for the work for a long time, the director must have suffered even more than he did. Nevertheless, he showed a calm demeanor, stating that other opportunities would come in the future.

In particular, Kim Min-jong said, "My mental state fluctuated a lot, but once it was over, everything became clear," revealing the mental toll he had endured. He added that what lies ahead is more important than past events, and that he is accepting the canceled project as something that was not meant to be.
