Noel (Jang Yong Joon) (19) has announced his intent to halt all activities.
The rapper posted an apology on his agency's official Instagram account on the 7th and stated,
"I'm writing to apology for my unsavory drunk driving incident. I'm so sorry. I have no excuse. I'm sorry to all the people I have hurt. I apologize with my head down. I will sincerely take part in the police investigation process and will be punished accordingly. I'm so sorry. I don't have anything to say. I will deeply reflect on myself for the rest of my life to prevent this from happening again. As a member of Indigo Music, I apologize once again to all the artists and management and will halt all future activities. Once again, I sincerely apologize. And for those that have always trusted me and loved me, I feel really embarrassed and sorry."
Noel is the son of Representative Jang Je-won of the Liberty Korea Party who has also apologized for his son's drunk driving incident via a post on his Facebook account on the 7th. Jang Je-won stated that "as an adult, Yong Joon will take full legal responsibility for his wrongdoing."
- [+8,986, -96] It's only been a few months since he turned 20 but he's already been accused of drunk driving and trying to offer a bribe. He needs to be fully investigated. His father doesn't deserve to be a lawmaker.
- [+4,965, -33] If my son did this I'd beat him and teach him that life isn't so easyㅋㅋㅋ This is your responsibility as a father Je-won.
- [+2,105, -16] What a load of bulls***
- [+1,622, -36] I bet he'll be back doing hip hop within the month~
- [+1,056, -6] Noel Jang Yong Joon...a full grown adult man in a 300 million Mercedes gets into a drunk driving accident and gave 10 million won bribe...that's attempted murder. He needs to be arrested now and Jang Je-won needs to resign!!
- [+965, -37] Do you remember how your dad humiliated that woman in her 20s from the countryside without an English education? I wonder how your father, Jang Je-won of the Liberty Korea Party will judge his own son for attempting to buy sex as a minor and driving under the influence who offered a bribe...don't do politics if you can't control your own family...so you're sure to resign right?
- [+650, -12] Where the prosecution should search: Benz Korea branch (to check if he's a drunk), that bar place (to check whether he paid for alcohol or drugs or if prostitution took place and Jang Je-won's cell (to verify whether he contacted any police officials or media).
