After rumors broke out alleging that model and Noh Hong Chul's close friend Jang Yoon Joo was with him on the night of his drunk driving charge, she released a statement saying that these rumors were false.

"It is true that Jang Yoon Joo had dinner with her friends because it was her birthday," her agency said. "However, it had nothing to do with Noh Hong Chul. He was not present at the party, nor did they ever meet on that day."

"We believe that this fabrication began because her birthday happened to fall on the same day as the incident," they said.

Noh Hong Chul's drunk driving charge led to his exit from his current variety programs, including 'Infinity Challenge'. His blood test, taken at his request, will be released on November 17.
