Korean singer Psy is under police investigation over an alleged medical law violation. Is he headed for prison time? We have the details!
The global icon is no longer just "under investigation"
In a recent shocking turn of events, the artists who, in many people's opinions, single-handedly put K-pop and Korea on the global map have come under police investigation for illegally obtaining prescription sleeping medication. PSY, the man behind his signature "horse dance", is now at the front of a dark scandal.
Fans are wondering if there might be a deeper, more sinister secret lurking beneath the surface of this scandal. PSY is now at the center of a police probe for allegedly obtaining prescriptions for the highly addictive psychotropic drugs Xanax and Stilnox in violation of South Korean law since 2022.
It has come to light that the "Gangnam Style" star has been receiving these powerful sedatives since 2022 from a Seoul university hospital without the required in-person consultations. Furthermore, he is accused of using a "proxy prescription" by having his manager and others pick up the medications on his behalf, a practice strictly forbidden due to the high risk of dependence associated with these drugs. This serious legal matter, which led police to seize PSY's medical records from the hospital, has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world as his career hangs in the balance.
Agency response
In a recent statement, P Nation, PSY's agency, publicly defended the artist, calling his use of a third party to collect this medication a "Clear Mistake" and an "Oversight", and they also confirmed that PSY suffers from a chronic sleep disorder and has been taking doctor-prescribed sleeping pills under medical supervision and within the proper dosage. The agency clarified that while a third party did pick up the medication, there was no "proxy prescribing", and the matter is currently under police investigation.
Do fans agree?
This hot K-pop scandal has created an intense debate among his fans, with some expressing disappointment in his actions, while others are trying to defend PSY, citing that the star was under the pressure of fame.
The Dojeon team agrees with this opinion that the highs and lows of fame can create some psychological and sleeping problems. Imagine performing on stage in-front of thousands of people, and the next day sitting at home alone, waiting for the next big hit to come?
The details are murky, but one thing is clear: the man who once made the world dance is now fighting to save his reputation. The music has stopped, and the world is watching, waiting to see if the king of K-pop will survive this dramatic fall from grace.
