Rapper MC Mong (Shin Dong-hyun) has finalized his previously announced solo concert in August. Although the venue said there had been “no rental inquiry,” sparking even ‘false claim controversy,’ it was confirmed that a venue rental estimate for the MC Mong concert was issued on the same day.
According to the Yes24 Live Hall rental estimate obtained by this paper on the 21st, MC Mong finalized the show dates on the 16th under the name ‘2026 MC Mong Concert’ for August 13 to 16. The venue bookings are for August 14 and 16, with the remaining days reserved for preparation.
Earlier, on the 15th, MC Mong said on a TikTok live broadcast, “Finally, I am holding a concert. August 14 and 16 at Yes24 Live Hall,” adding, “Less than a month remains.”
At the time, the venue official website had not posted the dates. Moreover, Yes24 Live Hall stated, “As of now, we have received no separate inquiries related to an MC Mong performance, and it is also true that no booking has been made,” raising questions over whether the concert would actually materialize.

With the rental schedule now set, MC Mong had been preparing the show dates and setup timeline in detail, and by the time of his remarks, the practical procedures for holding the concert were already underway.
As announced, MC Mong will take the stage on August 14 and 16. Detailed show information is scheduled to be released alongside the ticket opening at 8 p.m. on the 24th.
This concert is expected to be his first full-fledged meeting with fans since he announced a hiatus due to deteriorating health. In July last year, MC Mong stepped back from producing work, citing severe depression and a decline in health following surgery.
It will also be his first public appearance since he became embroiled in disputes over financial dealings and private life with the CEO of Chagawon Onehundred, as well as in allegations of illegal gambling. In effect, this concert has come to serve as a signal of his return to activities.
