On May 19, MC Mong announced that his TikTok account was suspended for a week due to "specific expressions" he used.
Previously, on May 18, during a live broadcast on his social media, MC Mong claimed that there exists an illegal gambling ring involving celebrities, mentioning Kim Min-jong as one of its members.
In response, Kim Min-jong stated through his legal representative, the law firm Okims, that he firmly denies the allegations being discussed.
He added, "We will thoroughly verify and clarify the facts regarding this matter, and we will pursue legal action if necessary. I will act cautiously to avoid disappointing those who have supported me for a long time."
Kim Min-jong further expressed concern over the unfounded rumors and malicious suspicions surrounding him, stating, "The reputation of an artist who has received great love from the public is being seriously damaged."
He concluded, "All claims regarding Kim Min-jong are clearly false. He will confront these issues head-on without any compromise to prove his integrity."
Meanwhile, MC Mong co-founded One Hundred with Cha Ga-won, chairman of the Piak Group, in 2023 but left the company in July of the previous year. Since then, allegations have emerged that MC Mong used company funds for illegal gambling.
