Nancy Lang says she was not heavily intoxicated after drink-driving arrest

Nancy Lang's representatives acknowledged that the pop artist and broadcaster drove after drinking champagne, but rejected claims that she had been heavily intoxicated or taken into custody at the scene.

“

I drank one or two glasses of champagne at a gathering with acquaintances and made the careless decision to take the wheel.

Her representatives told several media outlets that she drank one or two glasses of champagne at a gathering with acquaintances before making the “careless decision” to drive. They said she was tested shortly before going home and that the result did not indicate heavy intoxication or a level requiring license cancellation.

Claims that she was heavily intoxicated or arrested and taken into custody at the scene are different from the facts.

Police said Lang was caught on suspicion of drunk driving at about 3:45 a.m. in the Gangnam-daero area on the same day. No accident occurred. Police plan to summon her soon to examine the circumstances and determine her blood alcohol concentration.
