Police have launched an investigation into singer MC MONG (legal name Shin Dong-hyun, 47) over allegations that the artist had sleeping pills prescribed under someone else's name.
According to police and others on the 27th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul took over on the 25th and is investigating a case in which former Korean Medical Association Organization President Lim Hyun-taek filed a complaint accusing MC MONG of violating the Narcotics Control Act and the Medical Service Act.
Earlier, Lim said last month that he filed a complaint with prosecutors through the national petition portal, alleging that MC MONG had zolpidem, a psychotropic drug, prescribed under a former manager's name.
The Seobu Police Station in Daejeon, which was assigned the case, reportedly summoned Lim as the complainant for questioning and transferred the case to the Gangnam station with jurisdiction over MC MONG's residence.
