Prosecutors have opened investigations into alleged propofol abuse.
According to an SBS report on the 13th, about 10 people including famous movie star A, group entrepreneur B, entertainment company representative C, famous fashion designer D, etc. are under investigation for illegal administration of propofol for non-medical purposes at a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam, Seoul.
Earlier, the KFDA asked prosecutors to investigate the case due to excessive propofol use by the clinic leading to suspicions of illegal propofol abuse. The prosecutors conducted a search and seizure at the clinic late last year and are currently investigating persons of interest.
Nurses reportedly stated to prosecution during investigations that they have medical records that show they administered the propofol under their real names.
According to SBS, prosecutors recently summoned C, the entertainment agency representative, for investigations and will decide whether to summon remaining personnel.
