The reason why singer MC Mong suddenly apologized to actor Kim Min-jong has been revealed.

On the 9th, a video titled "'I did it out of anger' — Four days after filing a lawsuit, MC Mong calls Kim Min-jong.. Late revelation of 'feelings at the time of exposure'" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Entertainment Backstabber Lee Jin-ho'.

On that day, Lee Jin-ho revealed that MC Mong directly called Kim Min-jong to apologize and openly explained his reasons for making the past allegations.

Lee Jin-ho stated, "Coincidentally, MC Mong publicly apologized to Mr. Kim Min-jong via his TikTok live stream on the 5th. Previously, MC Mong had provoked Mr. Kim by saying, 'Sue me. I have more evidence. I even have recordings and whistleblower materials.'"

He continued, "What I reported differs slightly. It seems that rather than Kim Min-jong readily forgiving MC Mong, he felt a strong desire to no longer be entangled in this matter."

He further explained, "MC Mong called Kim Min-jong to apologize and candidly shared the circumstances that forced him to make the allegations. According to confirmations from acquaintances, his explanation was essentially that 'I did it out of anger.'"

It is reported that Kim Min-jong was taken aback upon receiving MC Mong's call. Lee Jin-ho said, "Although he was the party responsible for causing immense harm to Mr. Kim Min-jong himself, it was difficult for him to simply ignore the sincere intentions of a junior artist who openly shared his situation. Above all, it is reported that MC Mong's voice on the phone sounded extremely distressed."

However, Lee Jin-ho noted, "Kim Min-jong judged that a single phone call could not conclude the events that unfolded over the past 110 days. He reportedly indicated that he would consider the matter if a public apology were made first."

Subsequently, MC Mong proceeded with an actual public apology. However, it has not yet been decided whether to withdraw the lawsuit. Lee Jin-ho stated, "Accepting a public apology and finalizing legal procedures are completely separate issues. Mr. Kim Min-jong's side has previously indicated that they are currently coordinating their stance regarding the withdrawal of the lawsuit."

Meanwhile, on May 18, MC Mong mentioned Kim Min-jong by name during a personal live broadcast, claiming there was an illegal gambling circle in the entertainment industry. Kim Min-jong's side immediately responded that these claims were baseless.

However, as a result of the controversy, it is reported that Kim Min-jong withdrew from a new Hollywood film he was filming on location in the United States, and two advertising contracts under discussion were also canceled, causing significant damage.

Kim Min-jong's side filed a lawsuit against MC Mong for violating the Information and Communication Network Act (defamation) through his legal representative on the 1st, initiating legal action. Following this, MC Mong directly apologized to Kim Min-jong.
