Jang Deok Cheol (Korean장덕철) is a South Korean vocal group consisting of members Jang Jung-hyeok, Kang Deok-in, and Im Cheol. While the group debuted in 2015, it did not achieve mainstream success until 2017, with the single, "Good Old Days".[1] The single topped South Korean music charts at the beginning of 2018, drawing accusations that the group's label, Limez Entertainment, had manipulated chart rankings.[2]
