TL;DR MC Mong made unverified gambling allegations involving Kim Min-jong in a May livestream; Kim denied the claims and later filed a defamation complaint.

MC Mong made a series of allegations about illegal gambling during a TikTok livestream on May 18, 2026 and named singer and actor Kim Min-jong. The claims were presented by MC Mong as information he had gathered, but no police finding, court decision or independently authenticated evidence establishing the allegations was cited at the time.

MC Mong said he possessed recordings, messages and other materials and challenged the people he named to take legal action. Those statements describe evidence that MC Mong claimed to have; they do not independently prove that Kim Min-jong participated in illegal gambling.

Kim Min-jong denied the allegations through his law firm on May 19. His representatives called the claims false and said they would consider civil and criminal action after reviewing the material. That denial is a material part of the dispute and should be read alongside MC Mong's accusations.

On September 3, Kim's representatives announced that they had filed a defamation complaint concerning the May livestream. They said professional discussions had been disrupted after the allegations circulated. Filing a complaint does not itself determine whether either side's account is true; it moves the dispute into a formal legal process. Until verified evidence or an official finding becomes available, the gambling claims should continue to be described as allegations rather than established facts.
