MC몽 불륜 의혹, 법원 결정으로 삭제된 카카오톡 대화의 진실은?

[iNews24 reporter Choi Ki-cheol] A court has ordered the partial removal of an article alleging an affair and a pregnancy involving singer MC Mong (real name Shin Dong-hyun) and Cha Ga-won, CEO of the entertainment agency One Hundred, and barred further dissemination of the disputed material. The ruling reflected MC Mong’s own admission that he fabricated the KakaoTalk chats the article relied on as key evidence.

On March 26, Edaily reported that the 21st Civil Division of the Seoul Western District Court (Presiding Judge Shin Myung-hee) partially granted Cha’s request in a provisional injunction filed against a news outlet identified as “A,” ordering specified deletions from the article and an associated video.

The court directed the outlet to remove from the Dec. 24, 2025 article—and from a YouTube video with the same headline—any statements or implications that Cha and MC Mong had an affair or a romantic relationship; any KakaoTalk chat screenshots the outlet claimed the two exchanged, along with related descriptions; and any assertions that Cha received ovulation injections or attempted to become pregnant with MC Mong’s child. The order also prohibits republishing those items on news sites, YouTube, social media, or other platforms.

The court found the outlet’s submitted evidence lacked credibility. It said a verification statement showed MC Mong acknowledged fabricating the KakaoTalk chat images. Because the claims about ovulation injections and an attempted pregnancy rested solely on those images, the court found insufficient support for them.

However, the court excluded from deletion the article’s statement that “Cha sued MC Mong for the return of a 12 billion KRW (9 million USD) loan,” finding that fact undisputed between the parties. The court also declined to order removal of the YouTube video, noting the outlet had already set it to private.
