'If it was in the era of Chun Doo-hwan, if you touched me, I would go to the basement.'
Jang Je-won, the son of a National Assembly member and rapper Noel (real name Jang Yong-jun, 23), was again embroiled in controversy.
This time, while referring to the 'Chun Doo-hwan era' in his rap lyrics, he is being criticized for showing off the power of his father, who is considered to be the current ruling party powerhouse, and mocking not only the victims of military dictatorship during the 5th Republic, but also the people.
On the 13th, Noel released a song titled 'Gangganggang?' on Soundcloud.
This song was about disrespecting Flicky Bang, the rapper who shot him earlier, and Noel responded with high-level mockery and swear words.
In the song 'SMOKE NOEL', which dissed Noel, Flicky Bang pointed out Noel's controversy over changing drivers after drinking and driving, and suspicion of attempting prostitution when he was a minor.
In response, Noel released a hit song titled 'Gangganggang?', and the part of the lyrics, 'If it was in the Chun Doo-hwan era, if you touch me, I'll go to the basement' became a big controversy.
Netizens criticized Noel for taking the power of his father, Rep. Jang Je-won, for granted, and at the same time playing with the victims of state violence during the military dictatorship.
Rapper New Champ pointed out, "You're crazy. The May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement and the military era are such a humiliating and heartbreaking history. (Noel) father had vested interests, power, and power, so in the military era, Flicky Bang would have been tortured." .
The song in question has now been removed from SoundCloud after a user reported it.
After the 'Chun Doo-hwan Era' lyrics controversy, Noel has closed his Instagram account.
This isn't the first time Noel has been involved in controversy.
Recently, a song on the new album was embroiled in a controversy over literacy with the lyrics "one day, two days, three days, three days".
In addition, in 2019, he was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison and 2 years of probation for causing a drunk driving traffic accident and changing drivers. He was handed over to trial on charges of assaulting a police officer who asked for identification and identification.
Noel, who was sentenced to one year in prison for this case and released in October of last year, is on the cutting board again causing controversy in less than three months after being released from prison.
