South Korean broadcaster MBC's investigative program 'PD Notebook' has aired allegations concerning the private lives of singer MC Mong and Cha Won, the chairman of Piaak Group and One Hundred. The program, titled 'MC Mong and the Chairman's K-pop Business Secrets,' presented messages allegedly sent by MC Mong to Cha Won. These messages were revealed by Cha Won's uncle, identified as Mr. A, who is also a prominent real estate developer. Mr. A claimed MC Mong sent him messages admitting to a three-year relationship with Cha Won.
