The public war of nerves between singer and producer MC Mong and actress Lee Da-in has escalated, capturing the intense attention of internet users.
Earlier, MC Mong posted a group photo with actor Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in, actress Lee Yu-bi, and Cha Ga-won, the chairman of the PIAK Group, on his social media on the 3rd. His updated look after a long time attracted the eyes of fans, but Lee Da-in, one of the main characters in the photo, revealed an uncomfortable expression, and the controversy began.
On the 4th, Lee Da-in criticized the post, asking, "What's the reason for making a fuss by posting a photo that's over a year old?" She further revealed the date and time the photo was taken, stating, "It was taken on July 18 last year at 11:17 p.m.," strongly criticizing MC Mong's actions.
In response, MC Mong immediately retaliated. On the same day, he posted an enlarged image of Lee Da-in on his social media, accompanied by the text, "Get in where you fit in!" revealing his displeasure. He continued, "Whether I post a photo from a year ago or a photo I liked, it's before you start to hate me more. Would I abandon my family like you did?" escalating the matter by dragging in Lee Seung-gi's remarks about "estrangement from his in-laws."
Reactions from internet users are mixed. Some questioned MC Mong's intentions, asking, "What's the reason for posting such an old photo?" while others pointed out Lee Da-in's attitude, questioning, "Why publicly criticize someone you are close with?"
In particular, regarding the part where MC Mong mentioned the 'family' issue, criticism arose, calling it a "crossing the line statement," while others responded that it "hit the nail on the head."
MC Mong recently revealed that he has suspended activities due to health deterioration and depression and is preparing to study abroad. Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in got married last year and have a daughter. This social media dispute has escalated beyond a simple 'old photo' controversy, entangling the relationship between the two and surrounding issues, resembling a mudslinging match.
