"The Yellow-Band Watch MC Mong Wore Is Worth the Price of an Apartment"...What Is the Luxury Watch at His Solo Concert?

[Financial News] Singer MC Mong's watch, which he wore at a recent concert, has become a hot topic.
MC Mong held his solo concert, "A Midsummer Night's Ice-Kkaegi," on the 14th and 16th at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin District, Seoul. It was his first solo concert in about four years, since 2022. Tickets sold out in about 1 minute and 30 seconds after opening.
Concert footage later spread through online communities and social media, drawing attention to the yellow watch he was wearing.
The watch was believed to be Richard Mille's "RM 27-03 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal." According to Richard Mille's official description, the model is limited to 50 pieces worldwide and is part of the brand's collaboration line with tennis player Rafael Nadal.
On the overseas resale market, it is currently listed at roughly $1.3 million to $1.54 million, or about 1.8 billion won to 2.2 billion won.
In particular, claims have surfaced that MC Mong received gifts worth more than 10 billion won, including expensive watches, from Cha Ga-won, chairman of ONE HUNDRED, who was accused of being his affair partner.
Lee Jin-ho, a former reporter turned YouTuber, also revealed a list of gifts in a video posted to YouTube in June. The list included cars such as a Rolls-Royce Cullinan worth 700 million won, a Ferrari Roma worth 300 million won, a Rolls-Royce Spectre worth 500 million won, and a Mercedes-Benz G-Class Classic worth 500 million won. It also included watches such as a Richard Mille worth 5 billion won, a Patek Philippe Tiffany worth 300 million won, and an Audemars Piguet gold watch worth 300 million won, as well as a bed worth 100 million won, a Bang & Olufsen TV worth 50 million won, an LG SIGNATURE Rollable OLED TV R worth 100 million won, furniture worth 500 million won, jewelry worth 1 billion won, and a deposit worth 1 billion won.
MC Mong claimed that Chairman Cha had sold off or taken back some of the gifts, but he is reportedly still keeping the high-end watch, the bed, and jewelry worth 1 billion won.
MC Mong has also been caught up in a series of controversies involving ONE HUNDRED and its subsidiary BPM Entertainment. Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC)'s "PD Note" covered unresolved payment issues related to ONE HUNDRED and allegations of overseas gambling. MC Mong strongly denied the claims and said he would file a massive damages lawsuit against the production team.
With various allegations and legal disputes continuing, MC Mong's appearance on his comeback stage wearing an ultra-expensive luxury watch was enough to draw public attention.
