Actor Kim Min-jong has decided to withdraw the criminal complaint he filed against singer MC Mong. The decision comes after MC Mong admitted fault for his remarks and issued a direct apology.

On the 10th, Oh Seong-heon, an attorney at law firm Okims representing Kim Min-jong, stated, "Kim Min-jong has decided to withdraw the criminal complaint filed against MC Mong on the 1st on charges of violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation)."

He added, "This decision was made because MC Mong admitted fault for his remarks and issued a direct apology."

Kim Min-jong also explained through his lawyer why he accepted MC Mong's apology. He said, "I believe it is necessary to give someone who admits their mistake and apologizes another chance again." He continued, "It is true that I suffered irreparable wounds and damages over the past four months, but I did not want to turn a blind eye to the remorseful heart of a junior artist who has reflected on his actions and sought forgiveness." He further stated, "I believe choosing to embrace the person is more meaningful than pursuing legal action."

The lawyer explained, "This withdrawal of the lawsuit does not mean overturning the damages Kim Min-jong suffered or changing his previous stance. Rather, it is a decision to cease further legal disputes after considering that the other party admitted fault and apologized. We hope this incident will remain as an example of reconciliation and forgiveness rather than conflict and confrontation."

Previously, 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 clarified that these claims were baseless.

As a result of the controversy, it was 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 negotiation were also canceled, causing significant damage.

Kim Min-jong's side filed a criminal complaint against MC Mong for violating the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation) through his legal representative on the 1st, taking legal action.

Initially, MC Mong responded as if he did not consider it serious. In a live broadcast the following day on the 2nd, he said, "Does getting sued once or twice matter? It's nothing." He added, "I have been sued twice before and both times were dismissed without charges." He further stated, "I won't hold a birthday party tomorrow. Let's go to a nightclub instead. Let's book a room."

However, it is reported that MC Mong directly called Kim Min-jong to apologize. On the 5th, during a personal live broadcast, he revealed that he had met with Kim Min-jong in person to clear up misunderstandings and apologized.

At that time, MC Mong said, "I sincerely apologize again for causing misunderstanding regarding Kim Min-jong." He continued, "Mentioning senior artist Kim Min-jong was my fault. Whatever articles come out afterward, I will accept them all."

He further stated, "The gambling misunderstanding regarding senior artist Kim Min-jong has been fully resolved between the two of us today, and he warmly embraced me like an older brother."

Following MC Mong's apology, Kim Min-jong decided to withdraw the lawsuit instead of continuing legal disputes.
