In a surprising turn of events, K-pop superstar PSY is under investigation for allegedly obtaining prescriptions for psychotropic medications without proper consultations!

Reports surfaced on August 27 that Seoul's Seodaemun Police have initiated inquiries into PSY and a physician associated with a university hospital, suspected of violating the Medical Service Act. Authorities conducted a thorough search of the hospital after uncovering evidence that PSY had been receiving prescriptions for powerful drugs like Xanax and Stilnox without in-person consultations since 2022.

These medications, primarily used to manage anxiety and sleep disorders, are known for their high potential for dependence and addiction. Due to these risks, remote prescribing has been strictly banned since 2021, with in-person pickups being the only option. Only under special circumstances, such as when a family member or caregiver is involved, can medications be picked up by someone else.

It appears PSY's manager collected these medications for him, raising red flags about adherence to medical laws. As scrutiny mounts, the singer's agency, P NATION, has stepped forward with a statement addressing the situation.

On August 28, the agency acknowledged the controversy, admitting that having a third party pick up prescription-only sleeping medication was a significant misstep. They expressed their apologies for any distress caused by the situation.

PSY himself has been diagnosed with a chronic sleep disorder and has been following his doctor's prescribed regimen, emphasizing that there were no unauthorized prescriptions involved. Still, the use of proxy pickups has prompted the ongoing police investigation.

In a heartfelt message, P NATION concluded by reiterating their apologies to fans and the public, vowing to cooperate fully with authorities as the investigation unfolds. What will the future hold for the beloved artist amid these serious allegations? Stay tuned!
