Singer MC Mong (47, real name Shin Dong-hyun) is making headlines by demonstrating powerful ticket-selling ability despite various controversies.

On the afternoon of the 27th, MC Mong opened pre-orders for tickets to his 2026 solo concert 'Ice in a Midsummer Night - Kkaekki' through Yes24 tickets. The performances will be held twice on August 14 and August 16 at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

MC Mong sold out both sessions immediately upon opening ticket pre-orders. In response, MC Mong also celebrated on his SNS that day, asking, "Did it really sell out in 1 minute 30 seconds?" As of the 28th, checking the relevant ticket pre-order site shows all seats are sold out. The ticket price was set at 132,000 won for all seats.

However, contrary to MC Mong's initial announcement of a 1,500-seat capacity and a total of 3,000 seats, this concert is actually sized at 1,051 seats, totaling 2,102 seats.

Despite being his first solo performance in four years, MC Mong has proven remarkable ticket power. In particular, he drew attention by maintaining his popularity despite various controversies with Cha Ga-won, former business partner and chairman of Piak Group and One Hundred Label. They were embroiled in suspicions including using company funds for overseas gambling trips, which sparked controversy when covered in the June 2 broadcast of MBC's 'PD Notebook' episode titled 'MC Mong and the Chairman's K-pop Trade Secrets'.

As the controversies remain unresolved, their fallout continues, and public opinion remains cold. In response to news that MC Mong's concert sold out, netizens reacted with comments such as "I can't believe it," "If my acquaintance posts boasting on SNS, I'll immediately do stop-loss selling," "Buy your parents some beef instead of spending money on tickets," "He actually has fans," "There are many truly hopeless people," "It's infuriating," "A league of their own. It's ridiculous," "There seem to be more suckers in Korea than expected," and "Everyone was criticizing them so much, why did all seats sell out?"
