Comedian and television star Noh Hong-chul, who was busted for drunk driving last year, appears to be spending his time in Barcelona, according to photos circulating online.

Noh has been out of the public eye since being booked for driving under the influence in southern Seoul in November.

Dressed in a skinny jeans and a hooded jacket, and sporting a beard, the 37-year-old entertainer appeared to be enjoying his time in the three photos.

Local media outlets reported that the photos were taken by a Korean tourist. The person spotted Noh, took the photos and sent them to his friend, who posted them online.

Netizens showed a mixed reaction. Some were happy to see the star for the first time in months. Others said his beard made him look disheveled.
