Singer MC MONG directly addressed conflicts over company operations, the advance payment structure and conflicts with some associates during a live broadcast. In particular, he even mentioned Baekhyun in this broadcast and poured out various claims that drew attention.
On the 18th MC MONG said on his personal social media, "After the military service scandal I worked with Idan-yeopchagi and produced numerous hit songs, and later created BPM," he said.
He went on to claim that his relationship with chairman Cha Ga-won "had very different management methods." He said, "Mr. B and I thought about music differently and managed differently. We treated artists differently," and "in May last year he even came to my house and we had a big fight," he said. He added, "There may be many reasons the company was shaken, but at that time, with MC MONG sexual prostitution rumors and affair rumors, the company image was greatly damaged while I was head of the company," and "I feel sorry and apologetic to BPM and Mr. B about that part."
He added, "There was also a part where I was swayed by Mr. A (who is said to be an acquaintance of Mr. B)," and claimed, "We also concluded talks about the harm done to One Hundred Label."
MC MONG also brought up stories related to Knowmerce. He said, "I heard directly that Knowmerce was a small company and that if it weren't for our company it would have been difficult to go public," and "but now I find it hard to understand the part about suing Cha Ga-won," he said. He added, "Representative Kim Yu-ra also expressed thanks at the time," and claimed, "There are aspects of the current situation that I find hard to understand."
In particular, MC MONG explained the advance payment structure directly. He said, "For example, if album production requires 500 million won, the distributor takes an advance payment and uses it for the music video, promotion and marketing costs," and explained, "Advance payments are a structure even large companies use." He claimed, "Actual costs such as The Boyz's deposit and production costs, Baekhyun's album production costs and rookie group production costs exceed imagination." MC MONG mentioned, "Baekhyun's first album production cost was about 10 billion won, the second was about 5 billion won," and said, "Bed Villain's production cost also cost about 30 billion won."
He again brought up matters related to Mr. A. MC MONG read materials related to the Seoul Western District Court and added, "There was also a conversation that included content that Mr. A tried to take over the company." In particular, MC MONG mentioned Baekhyun and claimed, "I heard Mr. A often told Baekhyun, 'A man should know how to gamble,' and 'Let's go to Las Vegas.'"
However, the contents mentioned in that day's broadcast are all claims by MC MONG, and separate positions or the facts from the related individuals and companies have not been confirmed. Especially the gambling and money-related claims about real-name individuals appear to be matters that require further verification.
