Singer Psy (real name Park Jae-sang) has been transferred to the Prosecution Service on charges of violating the Medical Act, including proxy pickup of psychotropic drugs.

On the 2nd, a representative of Psy's agency, Fination, told StarNews regarding Psy's transfer to the Prosecution Service: "The police investigation into the violation of the Medical Act due to proxy pickup of sleeping pills has concluded, and we will fully cooperate with the upcoming Prosecution Service investigation."

Earlier, on the same day, MBC reported that the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office received the case from the police on the 1st and is investigating Psy, a professor at a Seoul university hospital, a manager, and three others on charges of violating the Medical Act.

According to the report, Psy is suspected of receiving prescriptions for psychotropic drugs at a Seoul university hospital from 2022 through last year without in-person examinations and having a manager and other third parties pick up the medications on his behalf.

The drugs prescribed to Psy are psychotropic medications used to treat sleep disorders and depression. These drugs have high potential for dependence and addiction, so in-person examinations and prescriptions are the standard. Under current medical law, only a doctor who has directly examined the patient can write a prescription, and prescriptions cannot be picked up by anyone other than the patient who was directly examined.

Meanwhile, Psy is set to hold the summer brand concert 'Heumppukshow' later this month.
