Pop artist and television personality Nancy Lang (real name Park Hye-ryeong, 50) has finalized the termination of her exclusive contract with her management agency in the wake of her recent drunk driving incident.
According to Edaily on September 29, Nancy Lang recently completed the procedures to terminate her exclusive contract with Megaton Entertainment. Both parties discussed ending the contract after she was caught driving under the influence, and all related paperwork has now been finalized. An insider familiar with the agency's situation stated, "Following the drunk driving incident, mutual trust broke down, which ultimately led to the termination of the contract."
Earlier, on September 8 around 3:45 AM, Nancy Lang was booked by the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul for alleged drunk driving along a street in Gangnam District. Police officers arrived at the scene following a tip-off about a suspected DUI case and took her into custody. Tests revealed that her blood alcohol content was well above the 0.08% mark, which warrants the revocation of a driver's license.
After the incident came to light, Nancy Lang issued an apology, stating, "I got behind the wheel because my home was close by after drinking one or two glasses of champagne at an acquaintance's birthday gathering," adding, "It was a complacent judgment." However, regarding descriptions of her being "heavily intoxicated," she commented, "That does not reflect the actual situation," and requested that the facts be reported accurately.
Following the incident, Nancy Lang continued promotional efforts on social media by posting videos and visitor reviews related to her solo exhibition "Play: A New Language." Some online users responded critically to the posts, remarking, "It does not look like she is reflecting on her actions right after being caught drunk driving."
