On June 11, YouTube channel Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho uploaded a video titled “Exclusive Shock: ‘I’m Getting Married’ — The Original MC Mong Phone Recording and His Two Faces.” The video claimed to contain an audio conversation between MC Mong and an influential entertainment industry figure identified only as Mr. Cha.

The recording has generated significant attention online, as it allegedly captures MC Mong asking for his name to be excluded from media coverage surrounding an ongoing corporate controversy.

According to the channel, the conversation took place on June 26, 2025. In the recording, a voice alleged to be MC Mong’s can reportedly be heard expressing anxiety and saying: “Sir, I’m getting married now. Please leave me out of this. I can’t endure being harassed by Cha Ga-won.” The speaker allegedly asked that his name not be mentioned in news reports connected to the controversy. The other participant in the call reportedly responded sharply, questioning why MC Mong was now attempting to distance himself from the situation after previously being involved.

The most controversial portion of the recording involves allegations surrounding the use of company funds. According to the audio released by the YouTube channel, Mr. Cha can allegedly be heard accusing MC Mong of using approximately 12 billion won (around $8.7 million USD) and claiming that the money was lost through gambling activities.

The recording reportedly includes statements such as: “Didn’t you spend 12 billion won? Didn’t you lose it through gambling? A man should take responsibility for what he’s done.” The video’s narrator claimed MC Mong did not directly deny the accusations during the exchange, instead responding with comments such as “I’ll stop” and “Please stop.” However, the recording itself has not been independently verified by authorities, and the allegations remain unproven.

The newly surfaced audio comes after earlier reports and television investigations, including discussions on the program PD Notebook, raised questions about financial management within a major entertainment-related business venture. Those reports alleged that portions of investment funds totaling approximately 115 billion won had been diverted, with claims that around 12 billion won may have been connected to MC Mong’s alleged gambling activities in Las Vegas. No court ruling has publicly confirmed those allegations, and they remain claims that have circulated through media reports and industry sources.

The leaked recording has intensified public scrutiny surrounding MC Mong and the broader corporate dispute involving several entertainment industry figures. As discussion spreads across online communities and social media, attention is increasingly focused on whether additional evidence will emerge regarding the financial allegations.

At the time of reporting, MC Mong has not publicly responded to the newly released recording or the renewed gambling claims. With questions continuing to surround both the authenticity of the recording and the allegations mentioned within it, the controversy remains an evolving story that is likely to draw further attention in the coming days.
