The YouTuber and internet streamer who was investigated by the police on suspicion of having someone else obtain sleeping pills on his behalf was BJ K.
Recently, BJ K said on a live broadcast, "An article about proxy prescriptions for sleeping pills came out, and it is me. I was investigated about that part. I am now getting prescriptions normally," identifying himself as the BJ who was investigated by the police on suspicion of obtaining sleeping pills via proxy.
BJ K said, "I am sorry for causing this kind of problem. I underwent the investigation sincerely, and now we only need the results," expressing his apology for causing controversy.
On the 27th, one media outlet reported that the police are currently investigating after placing internet streamer A under indictment without detention on suspicion of violating the Act on the Control of Narcotics, etc. (controlled substances) on the 30th of last month. According to the report, A is suspected of receiving proxy prescriptions for sleeping pills and other psychotropic drugs from acquaintances and taking them, and the police received a related report on June 13 and, after conducting an investigation, placed A under indictment without detention.
Under the current Medical Service Act, in principle only patients who have been examined directly by a doctor can receive a prescription. Even when proxy prescriptions are permitted as an exception, they are limited to cases such as when the patient is unconscious, has severely impaired mobility, or has been receiving the same prescription for the same illness for a long period. Those allowed to receive prescriptions on behalf of patients are also limited by law to the patient's direct descendants and lineal relatives, spouse, spouse's lineal ascendants, brothers and sisters, workers at elderly care welfare facilities, and others specified by statute.
BJ K is an AfreecaTV partner BJ who mainly produces content such as explorations, explanations of various incidents, and eating broadcasts.
