[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Rapper Noel (stage name) Jang Yong-jun (21), son of lawmaker Jang Je-won, who was sentenced to prison for changing drivers after causing a drunk driving accident, is now reportedly under investigation for involvement in an assault case.

According to the Busanjin Police Station on the 26th, Jang is under investigation for assault following a 112 emergency call received early that morning in Seomyeon, Busanjin-gu.

At around 1 a.m., Jang was walking in the Seomyeon area of Busanjin-gu, Busan, when he apparently bumped his arm and body against the side mirror of a passing vehicle, leading to a dispute with the vehicle’s driver, Mr. A.

Mr. A claims he was unilaterally assaulted by Jang, but Jang is also reported to claim that he was assaulted as well.

A representative from the Busanjin Police Station stated, “Since this is an ongoing investigation, we cannot provide detailed information about the case.”

Regarding the drunk driving incident, Jang was sentenced in June last year by the Seoul Western District Court to 1 year and 6 months in prison with a 2-year probation period. He was also ordered to complete 40 hours of lawful driving lectures.

In September 2019, Jang drove a vehicle in a state of intoxication, at a level warranting license cancellation, on a road in Mapo-gu, Seoul, causing an accident and injuring a motorcycle rider.

After the accident, it was revealed that Jang had filed a false traffic accident report by having another person represent him, leading to his prosecution.
