Rapper MC Mong, who has been mired in a draft-dodging scandal since 2010, will hold solo concerts Oct. 25-26 at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

2010년 병역기피 의혹에 휩싸인 래퍼 MC몽이 오는 10월 25-26일 서울 광진구 YES24 라이브홀에서 단독 콘서트를 연다.


In 2010, he faced allegations that he intentionally removed more than nine teeth to evade obligatory military service. Although the court cleared him of the allegation in 2012, it handed down a suspended prison term for attempting to delay enlistment.

엠씨몽은 2010년 병역 의무를 회피하기 위해 9개 이상의 치아를 고의 발치했다는 의혹에 직면했다. 법원은 2012년 그에게 무혐의 판결을 내렸지만, 입대를 연기하려 했다는 이유로 집행유예를 선고했다.


After the scandal, the rapper was virtually kicked out of the entertainment scene. Despite negative public sentiment against him for being a "draft dodger," MC Mong struggled to return to the spotlight by releasing albums "MISS ME OR DISS ME" (2014) and "U.F.O" (2016). He also staged a concert in 2016.

병역 기피 의혹 이후 엠씨몽은 사실상 연예계에서 쫓겨났다. 엠씨몽은 '병역 기피자'라는 부정적 여론에도 불구하고 앨범 '미쓰미 오 디쓰미(2014)'와 '유에프오(2016)'를 발표하며 다시 대중의 관심을 받기 위해 노력했다. 2016년에는 콘서트도 열었다.


On Wednesday, Million Market, his current agency, unveiled a teaser poster about the latest gig on its official Instagram. The rapper, sporting a black suit, is surrounded by Halloween-themed items on the orange-colored poster. The audience is also asked to put on Halloween costumes.

소속사 밀리언마켓은 수요일 공식 인스타그램 계정에 엠씨몽 단독 콘서트에 대한 티저 포스터를 공개했다. 오렌지 색 포스터 속 검은 정장을 입은 엠씨몽은 할로윈 테마 아이템으로 둘러싸여 있다. 또한, 관객들도 콘서트장에서 할로윈 의상을 입어야 한다.


The rapper recently inked an exclusive contract with Million Market, a label of SM Entertainment. He is also set to release his eighth album by the end of October.

MC몽은 최근 SM엔터테인먼트의 레이블인 밀리언마켓과 전속 계약을 맺었다. 그는 또한 10월 말까지 8집 앨범을 발매할 예정이다.


MC Mong debuted in 1998 and gained popularity with a string of hits including "I Love U Oh Thank You" (2005) and "Circus" (2008). He also found success as a TV personality after becoming a regular cast member of KBS TV's variety program "2 Days & 1 Night." He quit the show following the controversy.

1998년에 데뷔한 엠씨몽은 '아이러브유오땡큐(2005)', '서커스(2005)'를 비롯한 많은 히트곡을 내며 큰 인기를 얻었다. 그는 KBS '1박 2일'의 고정 멤버로 출연하며 예능인으로도 큰 성공을 거뒀다. 하지만 병역 기피 논란 이후 프로그램에서 하차했다.
