Rapper NO:EL is the son of a politician, Jang Je Won, and has been caught by the police with charges under the influence of driving.
The Seoul Mapo Police Station has revealed that they had questioned NO:EL after his car collided with a motorcycle at around 2 a.m. KST on September 7 in the Mapo area. At the time, his blood alcohol content is said to have been at 0.08 percent.
The police stated that though they booked NO:EL on charges under the influence of driving, they could not reveal the details as the investigation is currently in progress.
NO:EL appeared on Mnet’s “High School Rapper” under his real name Jang Yong Joon. He then had to leave the show and wrote an apology letter after the controversy arose over his past behavior. He has since made his debut and has been active as a rapper.
He wrote:
“When I was younger, I was caught between my studies and music and had many conflicts with my parents. I think my anxiety and insecurities were expressed towards my friends and family in the wrong way. I’m very ashamed about it, and I feel very sorry. I sincerely apologize for saying such crude things just because of simple curiosity. However, I have never had any meetings of the sort. I do recognize that sending that kind of Twitter mention is wrong in itself. I am so ashamed of myself that I can’t even look at the screenshot properly. I don’t believe I will be forgiven through this letter, and I began writing this to look back on myself for hurting the people I hurt. Once again, I sincerely apologize.”
