Singer MC Mong publicly apologized to actor Kim Min-jong, stating that they have resolved their misunderstanding.

On the 5th, via an SNS live broadcast, MC Mong said, "It was wrong for me to even mention Kim Min-jong," and added, "I will accept any future articles related to me."

MC Mong further stated, "I met with Kim Min-jong in person and had a conversation. We cleared up the misunderstanding. Kim Min-jong even warmly embraced me."

On May 18, during an internet live broadcast, MC Mong made claims suggesting that Kim Min-jong was involved in illegal gambling, accepting bribes, and witness tampering. Following the spread of these allegations through media and online platforms, Kim Min-jong's side issued a formal statement on May 19, the following day, asserting that the claims were completely unrelated to the truth.

Kim Min-jong announced via his legal representative that he filed a complaint with Seoul Jongno Police Station against MC Mong on the 1st for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation).

Kim Min-jong's side argued that as these allegations spread through media and online platforms, it severely damaged his reputation and trust built over nearly 38 years since his debut in 1988. Additionally, they claimed tangible harm occurred, including the suspension of discussions for a future Hollywood film role and two advertising contracts that were under specific negotiation at the time.

The law firm stated, "We can no longer overlook the damage caused by content that is clearly false. We will cooperate diligently with the investigation to clarify the facts and plan to proceed sequentially with necessary legal measures, including a civil claim for damages." They further added, "In addition, if any additional dissemination or repeated posting of false statements similar to these is confirmed, we intend to take further legal actions, including seeking an injunction to prohibit the spread of false information."

Kim Min-jong emphasized, "I can no longer stand by and watch my reputation, which I have upheld for 38 years, and the trust of my fans being damaged by baseless claims. Without any compromise, I will hold him fully accountable according to the law and principles until the end."

Subsequently, on the 2nd, MC Mong turned on his TikTok live broadcast. When a BJ mentioned, "You seem to be in trouble," MC Mong responded, "Does getting sued once or twice matter? It's nothing. I've been sued twice already and both times were dismissed." He then added, "I won't hold a birthday party tomorrow. Let's go to a nightclub instead. Let's book a room."
