[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] Singer Iron (real name Jeong Heon-cheol, 28) was arrested by the police for assaulting a male roommate at his home.

According to the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul on the 10th, Jeong was caught in the act the previous afternoon at his home in Yongsan-gu, where he allegedly struck his roommate, Mr. A, dozens of times with a baseball bat, on charges of special assault. The police reportedly responded to the scene following a report from the victim's family.
