Rapper Noel (real name Jang Yong-joon), who was handed over to trial for refusing to comply with a request for a breathalyzer test and assaulting a police officer, was also sentenced to prison in the second trial.
The Seoul Central District Court Criminal Appeal Division 4-3 sentenced Jang, who was handed over to trial on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (driving without a license), as in the first trial, and sentenced to one year in prison.
Jang Je-won, the son of Representative Jang Je-won, was driving a car at the St. Mary's Hospital intersection in Seocho-gu, Seoul at around 10:30 pm on September 18 last year and had a collision with another car.
He was arrested on charges of refusing to comply with a police officer's request for a breathalyzer at the scene and hitting a police officer with the head, and was arrested and indicted in October of the same year.
The first trial found most of the charges against Jang guilty and sentenced him to one year in prison.
In 2019, Jang was also charged with driving a car while drunk in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison and 2 years of probation in June 2020.
