What are the Korean stars who pulled out 12 teeth to avoid military service doing now?
A series of Korean entertainment stars have been heavily criticized for lying, including MC Mong who escaped military service by pulling out 12 teeth.
For a long time, Kbiz has been known as the most harsh entertainment industry in Asia. Every scandal of the stars has to pay a high price, especially the turning away of fans.
Recently, Knet has dug up shocking lies, which have gone down in history as the most unforgettable incidents of Korean stars.
MC Mong (real name Shin Dong Hyun) is a top rapper in the Korean entertainment industry. The singer’s talent is undeniable. However, he has been criticized many times as a “laughing stock” with the story of dodging military service.
Many times, the singer of Cirus used every way to avoid military service.
Yonhap reported that according to an official statement from the Seoul police, for 7 years from 2003 to 2010, MC Mong continuously made excuses to postpone his military service. From civil service exams, vocational training to performing abroad.
At its peak, in 2010, when he went for a military examination, he failed the exam because he had lost 12 teeth. At that time, the Seoul court proposed to sentence the hip hop artist to 2 years in prison, to compensate for the time he spent in the military.
Prosecutors did not accept the singer’s 6-time deferment of his military service, pulling out a total of 12 teeth. Finally, the court sentenced Shin Dong Hyun to 6 months in prison, one year of probation, and 120 hours of community service.
Coming out of the trial, the hip hop artist burst into tears. “I didn’t do it to save my reputation and money. I’m really not a liar. I’m willing to take the punishment to prove it,” MC Mong said.
However, the male singer’s explanation did not satisfy the audience and the media. A series of major stations such as KBS and MBC banned the male singer from appearing on air. A series of fans turned their backs on him, and it was difficult for him to return because of this military service evasion scandal.
After being released from prison, the owner of the song Sick enough to die went into hiding for 3 years, because he could not bear the criticism and criticism from Korean netizens.
In 2014, the talented MC returned to the music industry with the album Miss Me Or Diss Me. When he returned to the music industry, he was supported by many friends and colleagues.
According to Korea JooAng Daily, due to his past of military service evasion, he received a lot of criticism on his return. The MC was also saddened when his friends shared his album and were opposed by netizens.
However, thanks to having a large number of loyal fans, the male singer quickly regained his career. This album quickly climbed to the Top 9 position on the Melon chart.
After that, MC Mong gradually regained his appeal, proving his ability through a series of albums such as U.F.O, Channel 8, collaborating with Park Bom…
In terms of music, the talent of the rapper born in 1979 is undeniable. He still maintains his appeal every time he releases a new song. However, after 10 years, the tooth extraction scandal to avoid military service is still a difficult stain to erase in MC Mong’s career.
Currently, MC Mong is quiet in front of the media, rarely seen sharing or appearing in newspapers like in his golden age.
