While MC Mong continues to expose, this time he mentioned IU and the MBC drama 'The Great Queen Seondeok of the 21st Century', causing controversy. On the 20th, MC Mong held his third live broadcast, expressing his regret over the allegations of illegal gambling, prostitution, and infidelity surrounding him. Prior to this, he claimed through his first live broadcast that there exists an illegal gambling group involving entertainment industry personnel, naming celebrities like Kim Min-jung, which caused a huge ripple. In response, Kim Min-jung's side strongly opposed this, calling it 'clear falsehood' and warned of legal action. By naming real people, MC Mong stirred up controversy and this time involved IU. He stated, 'Not long ago, 'The Great Queen Seondeok of the 21st Century' was severely criticized for historical distortion, and IU bowed her head. Why is it that the staff who caused the historical distortion do not take responsibility, and IU has to bow her head? Famous celebrities are the weak. It is the upper management that forces celebrities to be saints.' Net users have shown a cold reaction to MC Mong's remarks, pointing out that the essence of IU's drama controversy and the allegations against MC Mong regarding illegal gambling and prostitution are completely different. There has been a flood of criticism that he created 'unrelated victims' by bringing up IU, who is not related to his case. Furthermore, in this broadcast, MC Mong claimed that some media producers colluded with false informants and specific forces. He argued, 'Valuable information has come in. Providing information about incidents and accidents is necessary and should be protected. However, there are criminals who misuse this, and there are those who collude with them.' He also named some media outlets like MBC's 'PD Notebook' and TV Chosun that reported on his allegations of illegal gambling and infidelity, saying, 'They made me a prostitute, a proxy prescriber of sleeping pills, and a drug offender.' He specifically claimed that 'MBC producers Kim and Park tried to interview me in Las Vegas, meeting with a friend of Mr. A (the uncle of Chairman Cha Ga-won) at a Chinese restaurant and conspiring while being treated to a meal. This is all a violation of the Anti-Corruption Act.' MC Mong denies allegations of evading military service and prostitution, exposes illegal gambling among celebrities, mentioning THE BOYZ and EXO's Baekhyun, and makes new claims regarding THE BOYZ's contract issues, also referring to the Choo Han-nyoung incident, stating 'I have never gone to Japan together.'
