Local rapper Iron has been detained for allegedly beating his roommate with a baseball bat.
The Yongsan Police Station said Thursday it requested an arrest warrant for Iron, whose real name is Jung Hun-cheol.
According to official reports, on Wednesday, the 28-year-old rapper hit his younger roommate, a minor, at the home they share.
Iron was the runner-up in the third season of Mnet's rap competition program "Show Me the Money."
This latest incident is not his first run-in with the law.
In 2016, he received a suspended sentence on charges of smoking marijuana and other suspended sentence a year later for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
