Jung Hun-cheol (January 8, 1992 – January 25, 2021),[1] [2] better known by his stage name Iron, was a South Korean rapper. He was a contestant on Show Me the Money 3.[3] He released his only album, Rock Bottom, on September 9, 2016.[4]

Legal issues

In November 2016, Iron was convicted of smoking marijuana and received a sentence of eight months, suspended for two years.

In November 2018, he was convicted of multiple counts of assault against his ex-girlfriend. It was stated that he had hit her in the face during sex, causing fractures; he also strangled her when she attempted to end the relationship, as well as injuring himself with a kitchen knife and threatening to blame it on her. He then revealed her identity in media interviews during the court process and publicly defamed her, calling her a masochist and denying any wrongdoing.[5]

In December 2020, he was again placed under arrest for assault with a baseball bat against his roommate, who was a minor at the time.[6]

Death

On January 25, 2021 at 10.25am KST, a security guard discovered Iron lying in a flowerbed outside an apartment complex, bleeding. He was taken to a local hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.[7] An investigation revealed the apartment complex was not the residence of Iron, though the reason for this was undisclosed.[8] Foul play and homicide were ruled out, and at the request of the family, a post-mortem was not carried out.[9]
