While Piak Group Chairman and One Hundred Label CEO Cha Ga-won is in custody, the YouTube channel 'Entertainment Backstabber Lee Jin-ho' has released a recording of Cha Ga-won's voice dubbed as a "reverse-viral" clip.

In the video released on the 4th titled "[Shocking Exclusive] 'Cook MC Mong,' Chairman Cha Ga-won... Shocking 'Reverse-Viral' Recording Obtained," Lee Jin-ho stated that although he was close to Cha Ga-won, the recording was obtained based on a tip from an acquaintance, Mr. A, who had not received the return of his 5.4 billion won deposit.

In the released recording, Cha Ga-won claimed, "It wasn't that I was swindled out of 12 billion won by MC Mong; I was actually swindled out of about 40 billion won." He continued, "MC Mong had a huge amount of gambling debts. In the middle, he came to me and threatened Baekhyun, saying, 'If this gets exposed, both of you will die.' Because I thought Baekhyun should not be harmed, I paid off 20 billion won on his behalf."

He also stated, "Baekhyun cried and begged, 'I don't want to get involved with MC Mong anymore. Please endure this just once.' He was very distressed as EXO's activities were canceled. At that time, during negotiations with SM Entertainment over conditions, SM announced the six-member lineup first, and Baekhyun took the full brunt of the fallout."

However, Lee Jin-ho added, "It is difficult to fully trust Cha Ga-won's words in the recording, as Cha (Chairman) has at times given explanations that differ from the facts depending on the situation." Nevertheless, he argued, "Through this recording, it has been confirmed that Cha (Chairman) was also aware of MC Mong's gambling debts."

Additionally, allegations were raised that Cha Ga-won instructed a reverse-viral campaign targeting MC Mong. The video includes a recording of what appears to be Cha Ga-won speaking with a representative from a viral marketing company, discussing the spread of content. The conversation included discussions on expanding MC Mong-related content along with keywords such as "prostitution."

Lee Jin-ho claimed that after Cha Ga-won parted ways with MC Mong last year, he attempted to conduct reverse-viral campaigns targeting MC Mong through a viral marketing company, spending approximately 100 million won.

Finally, Lee Jin-ho expressed his view: "MC Mong's involvement in the original gambling problem that triggered this incident and his conflict with Cha Ga-won have caused damage to affiliated entertainers and partner companies."

The statements by Cha Ga-won and allegations of reverse-viral campaigns revealed in this video are based on recordings released by the YouTube channel and claims made by Lee Jin-ho. The relevant facts will be confirmed through future investigations and the positions of the parties involved.
