Actor questions rapper’s motive for sharing year-old picture with her and husband Lee Seung-gi
Actor Lee Da-in, wife of singer Lee Seung-gi, has publicly expressed displeasure after rapper MC Mong uploaded a photo of them together more than a year after it was taken.
On her social media, Lee posted a screenshot of a news article about MC Mong’s post on Sept. 4 and wrote, “Why would he suddenly upload a photo that is over a year old and stir up noise now?”
She also attached the date information from the original image file, which indicated the photo had been taken on July 18 last year, adding, “I really can’t understand.”
Earlier that day, MC Mong shared the group photo on his own account with the caption “BAM,” showing himself with Lee Seung-gi, Lee Da-in, her sister Lee Yu-bi and p_Arc Group Chair Cha Ga-won. The post quickly drew attention to the group’s friendship.
Lee’s public criticism has sparked curiosity over the rapper’s motive for releasing the image at this time.
MC Mong has been the subject of speculation after being sidelined from his role as executive producer at One Hundred, the label he co-founded with Cha. In response, he cited severe depression, health issues and surgery, saying he had decided to study abroad for recovery and growth.
However, just two months after that announcement, his unexpected posting of the old photo — and Lee Da-in’s direct rebuke — has fueled fresh debate.
