Singer MC Mong suddenly announced that he would temporarily suspend his TikTok live streams.

On the 20th, during a TikTok live stream, MC Mong stated, "I am going to stop doing TikTok for a while," adding, "Thank you for watching and supporting me over the past 10 months. My usual style is to disappear without a sound." However, he drew a clear line, stating that the suspension was not due to recent controversies surrounding him.

He conveyed that after ending his TikTok live streams on the 31st, he plans to take a break for approximately three to six months. He also added that during this period, he intends to conduct "Excel" broadcasts via YouTube Live.

MC Mong began his TikTok live streams in December of last year and found himself at the center of controversy due to various remarks.

In particular, a controversy erupted when he claimed on a live stream in May that there was an illegal gambling gathering in the entertainment industry, naming singer-actor Kim Min-jong by name. In response, Kim Min-jong's side refuted the claim, stating it was baseless.

Subsequently, Kim Min-jong's side filed a criminal complaint against MC Mong in September for violating the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation). Kim Min-jong's side claimed that they suffered damages, including being forced to withdraw from a new Hollywood film and halting two advertising contracts under discussion due to the remarks.

At the time, MC Mong reacted dismissively, saying, "Am I going to be sued one or two times?" However, he later revealed through a personal live stream that he had met directly with Kim Min-jong to clear up misunderstandings. He apologized, stating, "It was my mistake to mention senior Kim Min-jong in the first place." He continued, "The misunderstanding about senior Kim Min-jong's gambling was well resolved between the two of us today, and the senior warmly embraced me."

Kim Min-jong's side also announced that they had withdrawn the criminal complaint against MC Mong. Kim Min-jong's side explained, "We thought it was necessary to give another chance to someone who acknowledged their mistake and apologized."

Meanwhile, MC Mong is scheduled to hold free concerts in Jeonju, Songdo, Ulsan, Gwangju (Gyeonggi Province), Cheongju, Gumi, and Busan in November to meet with audiences.
