Nancy Lang questioned by police over drunk driving, a month after booking

Broadcaster and pop artist Nancy Lang, whose legal name is Park Hye-ryeong, was questioned by police Friday on drunk driving charges, about a month after she was booked on the same allegations.

Seoul's Gangnam Police Station questioned Nancy Lang, 50, on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act by driving under the influence, according to Money Today.

The questioning came more than a month after the incident occurred.

Gangnam Police Station had earlier announced that it booked Nancy Lang on drunk driving charges in September.

She was caught driving while intoxicated on a road in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at around 3:45 a.m. on Sept. 8. Her blood alcohol level at the time exceeded 0.08 percent, the threshold for license revocation.

After the incident became public, Nancy Lang apologized, saying she had drunk one or two glasses of champagne at a friend's birthday gathering and decided to drive because her home was nearby, calling it "a careless decision." She pushed back, however, against descriptions of her as "heavily drunk," saying the characterization did not reflect what actually happened and asking that the facts be verified accurately.
