MC Mong
By Cho Jae-hyun

Singer and TV-show host MC Mong, 31, was booked without physical detention Monday on suspicion that he had healthy teeth extracted to dodge mandatory military service, police said, Friday.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said MC Mong whose real name is Shin Dong-hyun intentionally delayed entering the army by making various “false” excuses and intentionally had three of his healthy teeth pulled out to receive assessment grades in physical checkups low enough to be exempted from fulfilling his military duty.

Police said he had delayed being conscripted for 422 days since 2004 when he first received the conscription notice. The popular entertainer was found healthy enough for active duty as a soldier after his first physical checkup in August 1998.

Police will refer the entertainer to the prosecution on charges of violation of the military service law. The president of the agency representing MC Mong and a broker who helped arrange MC Mong’s draft dodging were also booked.

MC Mong has denied the draft dodging allegations. Before the issue surfaced, the popular entertainer appeared in “1 Night 2 Days” on KBS and the “Haha Mong Show” on SBS.





MC몽 생니 3개 뽑아 군면제, 입건 돼

서울지방경찰청은 17일 허위 사유로 입영을 연기하다가 멀쩡한 이를 뽑아 병역을 면제받은 혐의(병역법 위반 등)로 가수 MC몽(본명 신동현.31)을 불구속 입건했다.

MC몽은 2004년 8월 서울특별시 강남구의 한 치과의원에서 멀쩡한 오른쪽 아래 어금니 한 개와 보철치료만 해도 되는 어금니 한 개를 뽑은 것을 시작으로 2006년 11-12월에는 왼쪽 아래 어금니 한 개를 신경치료 하고서도 아프다며 뽑는 등 모두 3개의 생니를 뽑아 병역을 면제받은 혐의를 받고 있다고 경찰은 밝혔다.

MC몽은 2004년 입영 통지를 받고서 공무원 또는 각종 자격증 시험에 응시하거나 외국에 나간다는 핑계로 다섯 차례에 걸쳐 422일 동안 입영을 연기한 혐의도 받고 있다.

MC몽은 경찰이 제기한 혐의를 부인해 왔다.

병무청 관계자는 "법원에서 최종적으로 유죄 판결을 받으면 문제가 된 치아 부분을 다시 검사받고 군대에 갈 수도 있다"고 말했다.

경찰은 병역면제를 도와준 브로커 고모씨와 소속사 대표 이모씨도 위계공무집행방해 혐의로 불구속 입건했다.
