Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, is being investigated for possibly violating medical law.

He is accused of receiving prescription psychotropic drugs through third parties without in-person hospital visits.

The Seoul Seodaemun Police Station has been investigating Psy and a university hospital doctor after booking them on charges of having illegally had third parties, including Psy's manager, pick up the prescription drugs without face-to-face treatment, according to local reports.
