Singer MC Mong continued his revelations regarding his alleged gambling in a third live broadcast.

MC Mong held his third exposé-style live broadcast on the 20th.

MC Mong stated, "A TV Chosun PD who approached me for reporting on my gambling sent me a text message asking if it was true that I received 2 billion won in 2022 under the guise of investment funds, gambled it all away, and eventually the agency's artists covered the shortfall by receiving performance fees in advance, and that I repaid the total of 22 billion won." He added, "What truly makes me feel wronged is that since the Million Market incident, I have never used a credit card once. I sold my copyrights to save the company. I sold my copyrights because I was worried I wouldn't be able to pay my company employees' salaries. I have never even once delayed paying my company's salaries since the Million Market incident."

He continued, "How can a person do such a thing? How can one gamble using children's performance fees?" He said, "I called Cha Jun-young ten days ago. I clearly told them that I had given them that opportunity. I called and said, 'Father, I am so sorry. Please stop everything. Please, Cha Ga-won is also family, and I once called you father. Please stop. I just want to be on your side.' I am not the kind of fighter who fights like this. I wanted to stop." He further claimed, "However, that recording was sent to MBC and TV Chosun, and I received another text message. They changed their story, claiming that I called Cha Jun-young first, mentioned my stance regarding Cha Ga-won, and asked to be on their side. Regarding the suspicion that company funds were used for gambling, they said they asked me to exclude them and remove them from the statement."

Earlier, MC Mong said, "People and fans are telling me, 'Do you really have to go this far?' I am doing this because if I don't, my entire life will be lost, and I will have to go into hiding. That is why I don't want to do that." He added, "I received a valuable tip. The tipster is a precious and important person. Reporting on crimes and accidents is necessary and must be protected. We must protect this, but there are criminals who abuse this and groups colluding with them." He then mentioned certain PDs from a media outlet, MBC, and TV Chosun.

He continued, "They try to make me a sex offender, a proxy prescriber of sedatives, and a drug offender. I hope they find the tipsters who are being abused by crime, and verification is needed. Without verification, they are not a news organization." He asserted, "MBC PDs Kim Kyung-hee and Park Ga-young are going to Las Vegas to cover me. There, they meet Cha Jun-young's best friend and confidant at a Chinese restaurant, get a meal, and conspire. I will report all of this. This is all a violation of the Anti-Graft Act, and they should not be at MBC."

Earlier, during his first live broadcast, MC Mong revealed the existence of an illegal gambling circle known as 'Badugi,' which included figures from the entertainment industry, naming Kim Min-jong and several other celebrities, causing a major stir. In response, Kim Min-jong's side stated, "This is clearly false information."

Subsequently, in his second live broadcast, MC Mong mentioned Kim Min-jong, Cha Ga-won, chairman of One Hundred Label and the uncle of Cha Jun-young, and former So Sok-sa (CEO) Kim Ho-joong. He claimed, "This group is looking for women around me, women I don't know at all, and women working in the entertainment industry, offering them large sums of money to tell them things they know about MC Mong or to fabricate stories."

He further stated, "The key point is, 'We will give you as much money as you want.' This group is now roaming around, creating more lies. They are creating facts with money. Elderly people, please stop. I do not want to wage this kind of war. They are hiding all their own misdeeds."
