[Dispatch=Reporter Park Hye-jin] Singer PSY (real name Park Jae-sang, 48) has been referred to the prosecution on suspicion of violating the Medical Service Act. The Seodaemun Police Station referred PSY, Professor A from a university hospital who prescribed medication to PSY, and his manager to the prosecution on suspicion of violating the Medical Service Act on the 29th of last month. The Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office began an investigation into PSY on suspicion of violating the Medical Service Act on the 1st. A representative from PSY's agency 'P Nation' said in a phone call with Dispatch on the 2nd, "The police investigation regarding the violation of the Medical Service Act due to proxy receipt of sleeping pills has been concluded, and we will actively cooperate with the prosecution's investigation going forward." PSY was diagnosed with chronic sleep disorder and had been taking sleeping pills. From 2022 until last year, he is suspected of having a third party such as his manager proxy receive psychotropic drugs. Under current law, psychotropic drugs are in principle prescribed after a doctor's in-person examination. According to Article 17-2 of the Medical Service Act, proxy receipt is not permitted even by direct family members without exceptional reasons such as the patient being unconscious or unable to move. PSY's side apologized in August of last year, saying "The proxy receipt of prescription sleeping pills is a clear mistake and oversight," and "We apologize for causing concern."
