AceShowbiz - Viral hitmaker PSY has been questioned as a witness by police in his native South Korea as part of a massive K-pop sex and drugs scandal.
YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk is currently under investigation by authorities for allegedly trying to cover up drug claims made against his artists, and organising prostitution services for foreign investors at a special dinner in 2014, when guests included PSY and now-fugitive Malaysian financier Jho Low.
The "Gangnam Style" star was recently interrogated by cops about the controversies, but PSY insisted he had no knowledge of any illegal activity taking place.
The singer, who was signed to YG Entertainment until last year (18), also claimed to have left the 2014 dinner meeting with Low shortly after the meal, during which he introduced his friend to Yang.
Police officials are still investigating Yang over his alleged involvement in the scandals, but have "yet to find any substantial evidence", according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The K-pop mogul, who stepped down as CEO of his label earlier this month, was quizzed by detectives for hours on Wednesday (June 26) and Thursday, but has denied all accusations of prostitution mediation, tax evasion, and the drug scandal cover-up.
