MC Mong recently posted a photo on his social media with actors Seung Gi Lee, Dain Lee, and Yubi Lee. Earlier, MC Mong confessed that he decided to study abroad due to severe depression, a surgery, and deteriorating health that made continuing his music difficult. At that time, MC Mong announced he would step away from the scene temporarily, entrusting the producer duties for One Hundred and Big Planet Made artists to Chairman Cha Gawon to restore his health and continue making music for a longer time.
The photo that MC Mong posted about two months later attracted attention as it introduced his recent situation. Since there was no explanation regarding the timing of the photo, it was reported that MC Mong was continuing to connect with Seung Gi Lee, his wife Yubi Lee, and Dain's sister Yubi Lee, who is also Seung Gi's sister-in-law.
Among them, interest centered on the fact that the couple Seung Gi and Dain met with Yubi. In April, Seung Gi had expressed great disappointment due to his father-in-law's controversy and announced a severing of ties with his in-laws. However, the photo posted by MC Mong, without any explanation regarding its timing, shook the sincerity of the vows Seung Gi made to cut ties with his in-laws.
Dain was enraged. She questioned MC Mong, saying, "What's the reason for posting a photo over a year old now and making a fuss?" In particular, Dain revealed the data of the photo. According to the disclosed data, the photo was taken on July 18, 2024, at 11:17 p.m., which was well before Seung Gi and Dain declared a severance with his in-laws.
Dain expressed her confusion, stating, "I really can't comprehend it," targeting MC Mong's intent behind posting the photo. Dain showed discomfort with the timing of the words "needlessly" and "now". Since this was just after her husband Seung Gi declared a severance with his in-laws, she likely did not want issues surrounding herself and her family to arise again, and she may have felt discomfort and betrayal about the photo being posted out of the blue from a personal gathering, especially since MC Mong had announced he would be halting activities for health reasons and then spurred unnecessary controversy by posting old photos.
In response to Dain's attack, MC Mong did not hold back. He reacted by saying, "Stay out of it!" and expressed discomfort regarding Dain's response. Particularly, MC Mong directly mentioned the severance of the Seung Gi couple's ties with their in-laws, questioning, "Would you do something as reckless as abandoning your family like you?" Internet users pointed out that MC Mong crossing the line by directly mentioning someone else's family affairs was inappropriate.
Their social media feud escalated into a muddy fight that intertwined Seung Gi's family issues and their relationship, surpassing simply a dispute over old photos. Dain's anger seems to stem from a sensitive intuition that MC Mong's reckless behavior would inevitably lead to a "noisy controversy," and MC Mong's counterattack proved that Dain's discomfort was certainly not a misunderstanding.
