Singer MC Mong has tested negative for drug-related urine tests and also received a negative result from hair testing.

According to Daily Sports on the 23rd, MC Mong recently received notification of a negative hair test result from the police. Currently, MC Mong is under suspicion of violating the Drug Control Act and the Medical Service Act.

Earlier, former Korea Medical Association President Im Hyun-taek filed a complaint with the National Ombudsman in January, alleging that MC Mong had obtained a prescription for Zolpidem, a psychotropic drug (narcotic), under the name of his former manager A.

Recordings were also released in which Manager B of MC Mong's former agency, One Hundred Label, spoke with A last year, saying, "It wasn't a proxy prescription; they accepted it under my name." At the time, MC Mong denied this, stating, "The recording is fabricated. While I did receive a prescription for sleeping pills, it was not a proxy prescription."

MC Mong's side told the media, "Following the negative urine test result, we have also received a negative hair test result. We are now awaiting the leg hair test." If all tests come back negative, the charges will be dropped.

MC Mong is scheduled to hold concerts from August 14 to 16 at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. With news of negative test results regarding the drug allegations, the concert is expected to proceed as planned. This performance marks MC Mong's first live show in approximately four years since 2022.

On the 21st, MC Mong posted on his social media: "To avoid hiding under speculation and misunderstanding, a singer must prove themselves on stage. I want to meet you through my music; if you miss me, come see me."
