- A dispute between South Korean singers Kim Min-jong and MC Mong has escalated into a legal battle after a public revelation naming Kim.
- Kim filed a criminal complaint against MC Mong through his legal representative, Oh Sung-hun, on an alleged defamation charge under South Korea’s information-network law.
Kim Min-jong and MC Mong, once prominent figures in South Korea’s music and broadcasting industries, are now facing each other in a legal dispute after a public feud.
The conflict began when MC Mong revealed Kim Min-jong’s real name. About three months later, Kim responded with a criminal complaint. His legal representative, attorney Oh Sung-hun of law firm Ohkims, said the complaint accuses MC Mong of defamation under South Korea’s Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection.
