The K-pop superstar is accused of using intermediaries to obtain Xanax and Stilnox, bypassing the required in-person doctor visits

Psy, the South Korean pop phenomenon whose song “Gangnam Style” became a global hit in 2012, is under police investigation for allegedly obtaining prescription psychotropic drugs through intermediaries, bypassing required in-person hospital consultations.

The investigation follows a tip-off that Psy had allegedly sent others, including his manager, to collect prescription drugs on his behalf from a university hospital in Seoul since 2022, without attending the requisite consultations.
