'PD Notebook' captured evidence of an affair and gambling involving singer MC Mong and Cha Ga-won, chairwoman of the PIA Group.

The the 2nd broadcast of MBC's 'PD Notebook' revealed the episode titled 'MC Mong and the Chairwoman's K-Pop Trade Secrets,' which investigated the exclusive contract disputes as singers who were affiliated with the agency One Hundred Label left the company one after another, as well as allegations of overseas gambling and embezzlement related to the company's fund management.

On that day, 'PD Notebook' met with Mr. A, a representative of a major construction company and the younger uncle of Cha Ga-won. Mr. A claimed that a single text message sent by MC Mong was the beginning of everything.

Mr. A then revealed the message he received from MC Mong. It was a confession that MC Mong himself was dating Cha Ga-won and that she provided him with gambling funds. It was also stated that MC Mong visited in person a few days later.

When asked what MC Mong said upon arriving, Mr. A stated, "He said he is dating Cha Ga-won. He said he is leaving the company. He was taken by Cha Ga-won. He said he would spread this to the media." He further claimed, "MC Mong came to blackmail. He came to threaten. He said, 'Your nephew is trying to kill me, so you must stop him,' and came to blackmail."

According to the message itself, MC Mong told Mr. A, "I was dating Gae-won. I was told to start dating three years ago, and after much thought, I decided to date her. Although she was married, I did it because she said she would divorce, and I was grateful for her care and protection." He also said, "I gambled like a man, and I gambled with Cha Ga-won. Gae-won even paid off some of those gambling debts."

Cha Ga-won, chairwoman of the real estate service company PIA Group, and MC Mong jointly established the entertainment agency 'One Hundred Label' in December 2023. Since then, the two have rapidly grown into a new powerhouse in the entertainment industry by acquiring and absorbing major companies such as Big Planet Made Entertainment and Million Market, as well as INB100, which includes EXO, EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin), backed by their immense capital.

However, Cha Ga-won and MC Mong's bold moves began to falter in June last year when MC Mong was suddenly excluded from all operations. Following this, rumors of an affair surfaced alongside evidence of hundreds of billions of won in abnormal financial transactions between Cha Ga-won, who was married, and MC Mong, causing a major stir. Compounding the situation, a recent crisis over the non-payment of a large settlement amount led to a wave of departures, with key artists including Lee Mu-jin, The Boyz, Lee Seung-gi, VIVIZ (Eunha, Shinbee, Umji) from Girl's Generation, and EXO-CBX notifying their exclusive contracts' termination and filing for injunctions, facing a large-scale exodus.

In particular, Cha Ga-won's side claimed that the 'PD Notebook' preview contained footage that was not consented to and was maliciously edited, filing for an injunction citing "serious infringement of portrait and voice rights" and "serious defamation through malicious distortion and editing." They demanded a payment of 10 million won for each violation.

However, on the 2nd, the Seoul Western District Court rejected Cha Ga-won's application for an injunction to prohibit the use of her portrait and to stop the broadcast of MBC's 'PD Notebook'.
