MC Mon held his second live stream, drawing attention by mentioning junior artists. Yesterday (19th), he conducted another live stream through his SNS. In this stream, he talked about juniors like EXO's Baekhyun and members of THE BOYZ, attracting interest. Prior to this, on the 18th, he addressed prostitution allegations surrounding him and past military service evasion issues through a TikTok live, denying them. This time, MC Mon began by saying, 'There are things I couldn't talk about yesterday and things I need to correct.' He expressed an apology towards Baekhyun, which garnered attention. He said, 'Baekhyun is really a good person, so I don't want to say anything more. I'm really sorry and I love him. There's no one like him.' On the other hand, regarding THE BOYZ's contract issues, he continued to assert his claims while citing specific situations. MC Mon stated, 'If I were to talk more about THE BOYZ, it would be about member Sangyeon,' and claimed, 'Leader Sangyeon lied about the contract amount. The previous agency was supposed to pay 500 million won (about 5 million USD), and the next agency was supposed to pay 1 billion won (about 10 million USD), but that agency said they would pay 2 billion won (about 20 million USD). So we tried to give them 2 billion won, but it turned out to be 1 billion won, so we gave them 1.5 billion won (about 15 million USD).' He argued, 'Is it wrong to ask for 8 billion won (about 8 million USD) back? Everyone should part ways cleanly without being cowardly. If there are unsettled matters or amounts not received from the contract money, they should be distributed from there.' He explained that New, who remains with the agency, is there 'to keep his loyalty.' MC Mon also mentioned Choo Han-nyoung, who left the group due to personal scandals, and the allegations surrounding him. He denied the rumors, stating, 'What rumors spread was that Choo Han-nyoung's fans said, 'MC Mon prostituted with Choo Han-nyoung.' I have never been to Japan with Choo Han-nyoung.' He continued, 'It is impossible that I brought up Choo Han-nyoung to hide my prostitution allegations.' Last year, Weekly Bunshun reported that Choo Han-nyoung was secretly meeting with former adult film actress Asuka Kirara, leading to his departure from the group. However, he denied any involvement in sex trade or illegal activities. At that time, he stated, 'It is true that I attended a drinking party with acquaintances in the early morning of May 30, 2025, but there were no sex trade or illegal activities as reported or rumored. I deeply reflect on my actions and sincerely apologize to those who were surprised.'
