MC Mong has once again drawn attention through a livestream filled with allegations and revelations, while unexpectedly expressing affection and apology toward Baekhyun of EXO.

During a personal social media livestream on May 19, MC Mong said, “Baekhyun is such a genuinely good person that I don’t even want to talk about him anymore,” adding, “I still feel so sorry toward Baekhyun and love him very, very much. There’s no one like him.”

The remarks came after MC Mong previously mentioned Baekhyun during another livestream while criticizing One Hundred CEO Cha Ga Won’s uncle, Cha Jun Young.

At the time, MC Mong claimed that Cha Jun Young often told Baekhyun that “a man should know how to gamble” and repeatedly suggested going to Las Vegas together.

While raising allegations surrounding an illegal gambling gathering involving Cha Jun Young, MC Mong also mentioned actor Kim Min Jong. Kim Min Jong’s side has since announced plans for legal action.

MC Mong appeared cautious about the growing attention surrounding Baekhyun during the latest broadcast, repeatedly stressing that he did not want the singer to suffer unnecessary harm because he is “too kind.”

The rapper also disclosed details regarding artist contracts and production costs tied to One Hundred, a company he founded alongside Cha Ga Won. He claimed Baekhyun’s first solo album cost approximately 10 billion KRW (approximately USD 7.3 million) to produce, while the second album required around KRW 5 billion (approximately USD 3.6 million).

Currently, Baekhyun and members of THE BOYZ have reportedly notified One Hundred of their intent to terminate their exclusive contracts. Amid the ongoing dispute, MC Mong’s repeated public expressions of apology and affection toward Baekhyun have continued to attract attention.
