Singer Psy changed the venue for his 'Heumppuk Show' Gwangju concert.

On the 2nd, Psy posted a new poster for 'Heumppuk Show' on his personal SNS, stating, "The host city is final."

According to the poster, the 'Heumppuk Show' Gwangju concert, originally scheduled to be held at Gwangju World Cup Stadium, has been moved to Gwangju Chosun University General Gymnasium.

Previously, on the 27th of last month, Psy's agency, P Nation, announced that 'Heumppuk Show' would be held in a total of 9 cities and 14 times, starting from Uijeongbu General Gymnasium and proceeding through Daegu, Incheon, Seoul National University Park, Wonju, Suwon, Gwangju, and Busan, before concluding with a finale performance at Daejeon Mokwon University Grand Gymnasium.

However, controversy arose over the 'Heumppuk Show' scheduled to be held at Gwangju World Cup Stadium on August 8, as fans of Gwangju FC voiced their concerns. Since August falls within the K League season, there were worries about damage to the turf. As a result, the Gwangju FC side immediately denied Psy's application to rent the venue.

Psy also apologized via his personal SNS, stating, "For local concerts, local planning companies secure the venue rental and propose it to P Nation. We were informed that the rental approval for Gwangju World Cup Stadium had been completed by the Gwangju planning company, but upon verification, this was found to be untrue. We will quickly search for another venue and announce it again. We apologize for the confusion caused on behalf of the Gwangju planning company, and we will review future proposals more carefully and handle matters more thoroughly."

Psy was handed over to the Prosecution Service for drug-related non-face-to-face prescription and proxy pickup. On the 2nd, MBC reported, "On the 1st, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office received the case from the police and is investigating Psy, along with a professor at a Seoul university hospital, a junior doctor, and a manager, totaling six people, on suspicion of violating the Medical Service Act."

According to MBC, Psy is suspected of receiving psychotropic medications at a Seoul university hospital from February 2022 to July last year without face-to-face consultations and having his manager pick up the prescriptions on his behalf. The medications Psy was prescribed, Zanax and Stilnox, are psychotropic drugs used to treat sleep disorders and depression, known for their high potential for dependency and addiction, and face-to-face consultation and prescription are the standard procedure.

In this regard, Psy's side had previously apologized during the police investigation stage, stating, "The proxy pickup of prescription sleep medication is an obvious error and oversight."
