YouTuber KARA Cullara announced that she has filed a lawsuit against singer MC Mong.

KARA Culara announced on the 19th via her Instagram that she has filed a criminal complaint against singer MC Mong with the Seoul Gangnam Police Station for violating the Act on the Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation by disseminating false facts).

Subsequently, a lawsuit for damages of 100 million won was also filed, he explained, "because YouTuber KARA Culara made remarks to the effect that she received a tip from Ms. Lee, posted a video alleging an affair with Mr. Cha, and then deleted the video one day later after receiving 5 million won."

He emphasized, "I have received no reports whatsoever regarding this matter, nor have I produced or posted any related videos. Furthermore, there is no truth to the claim that I paid or received money from the reporter to delete the video. In other words, the aforementioned statement is a clear falsehood that completely contradicts objective facts."

He added, "I believe that making statements linking others to criminal acts on a public live broadcast without even the most basic verification of the facts, under the guise of voicing one's own grievance, is by no means a matter that can be dismissed lightly." He further stated, "Especially when unverified content is mentioned definitively on a public platform watched by hundreds of thousands of viewers, such actions can cause serious harm to an individual's reputation and social trust, and they also carry corresponding legal liability."

He warned that it is something that must be followed.

KARA Cular added, "It is known that MC Mong is currently under police investigation for alleged violations of the Narcotics Control Act and the Medical Service Act. If he wishes to explain his position, we believe that rather than misleading public opinion through sensational revelations or unverified claims directed at the public, he should diligently explain himself within the judicial process, which is a more responsible attitude for a public figure."

It is an unequivocally false statement.

Under the pretext of voicing their grievances, regarding the factual circumstances

Making statements that link others to criminal acts is

I believe it is a posture.
