The police have settled into an investigation into singer MC Mong (47, Shin Dong-hyun), who is suspected of being prescribed sleeping pills by a former manager.

According to the police on the 27th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul is investigating a case in which Lim Hyun-taek, former chairman of the Korean Medical Association, accused MC Mong of violating the Narcotics Control Act and the Medical Law on the 25th.

Earlier, former chairman Lim filed a complaint with the prosecution against the MC through the National Newspaper, claiming that MC Mong was prescribed Zolpidem, a psychotropic drug, under the name of a former manager.

Zolpidem, which is used to treat insomnia, is classified as a psychotropic drug due to its strong dependence. The act of being prescribed in the name of another person other than the person is a violation of the Medical Law and the Narcotics Control Law.

The case was initially distributed to Daejeon Yuseong Police Station, but was reportedly transferred to Gangnam-gu, which has jurisdiction over MC Mong's residence.
