Entertainment Chairman Reveals MC Mong Excluded Over Prostitution Tip

Cha Ga-won, chairman of PIAK Group and representative of One Hundred Label, has disclosed the circumstances surrounding the exclusion of singer MC Mong from business operations. Cha stated that he had received information regarding alleged prostitution involving MC Mong, which led to his removal from business activities.

The revelation came during an MBC investigative program, 'PD Notebook,' which explored various allegations surrounding Cha and MC Mong. Cha explained his initial involvement with MC Mong, stating that he met him through an acquaintance and offered help when MC Mong needed investment for his company. This led to their collaboration in establishing the new entertainment agency, One Hundred Label, in 2023.

“

I received a tip about prostitution and excluded him from business... the situation I was concerned about.

MC Mong's exclusion from business activities occurred in June of the previous year, sparking speculation about the reasons behind the rift between the two partners. The agency, One Hundred Label, and its subsidiary Big Planet Made Entertainment, cited "personal reasons" at the time. Cha Ga-won's current statement provides a more specific reason, indicating a tip-off about alleged prostitution as the catalyst for MC Mong's ouster and expressing his apprehension about the unfolding situation.

“

There was no grand reason. I knew MC Mong as an acquaintance, and he said he needed help because an investor had left the company. At first, he spoke very hopefully.
