prostitution allegations

The Origin of the Allegations

The controversy surrounding MC Mong intensified in early February 2026, triggered by content released via the YouTube channel Jirit-jirit. In a video featuring reporter Kim Seong-min, the channel presented elevator CCTV footage from the apartment complex where the artist resides. The footage captured MC Mong accompanied by several women, which the reporting used to suggest that the artist was bringing sex workers into his residence.

According to reports from BNT News, these allegations were not entirely new; rumors concerning the artist’s conduct at his apartment had reportedly been circulating since June of the previous year. The recent release of the CCTV footage, however, escalated the situation from neighborhood rumors to a public scandal, prompting formal complaints from apartment residents and widespread media coverage.

MC Mong’s Defense and the Identity of the Women

MC Mong responded to the accusations through social media on February 5, 2026, expressing significant indignation at the claims. He characterized the reports as baseless and questioned the intent behind the media coverage, which he argued lacked any supporting evidence or physical proof.

Prostitution allegations? I wonder who is instructing these articles to be written without any evidence or physical proof.

MC Mong, singer and producer

To address the visual evidence provided by the CCTV footage, the artist provided a specific account of the evening in question. He explained that he had been hosting a social gathering, including dinner and a wine party, with a group of acquaintances. He further clarified the identities of the three women seen in the video to directly refute the implication that they were sex workers.

MC Mong stated that one of the women was his girlfriend, a second was a friend of his girlfriend, and the third was an individual he had met for the first time that day. He used the presence of his partner to highlight the perceived absurdity of the accusations, asking, How can someone who would engage in prostitution with their girlfriend exist?

Allegations of Orchestrated Manipulation

The scandal has taken a more complex turn as the discourse shifts from the artist’s behavior to the motives of those reporting it. The YouTube coverage by Kim Seong-min did not merely present the footage as a matter of public interest but suggested a more calculated effort to damage the artist’s reputation.

A video titled ‘Behind MC Mong’s “Affair Rumors” were evidence manipulation, greed, and an “Uncle”‘ was released, implying that the allegations were part of a larger scheme. This reporting suggests that the rumors and the subsequent leak of footage may have been driven by greed and orchestrated through the influence of an unnamed Uncle. While the specific identity and role of this individual have not been officially confirmed, the claim of evidence manipulation introduces a significant layer of conflict between the investigative claims of the YouTube channel and the artist’s defense of his personal life.

Legal Contention Over Surveillance Privacy

As the public debate continues, MC Mong has pivoted his focus toward the legality of the information’s dissemination. A central pillar of his rebuttal is the assertion that the use of apartment CCTV footage for media purposes constitutes an illegal act. He has argued that the unauthorized release of private surveillance data from a residential building is a violation of privacy laws.

The artist has announced his intention to take formal legal action against those responsible for the leak. This legal strategy aims to address both the character defamation resulting from the prostitution allegations and the criminal aspect of the illegal surveillance distribution. The outcome of these potential legal proceedings will likely determine whether the incident is treated as a matter of celebrity scandal or a significant breach of residential privacy and digital security.
