Singer Psy's company under probe over death of water concert worker

An artist management company established by world famous singer Psy has come under investigation by the labor ministry over the death of an outsourced worker during the dismantling of facilities after a Psy concert, officials said Thursday.

The ministry's Gangwon Province branch office began a raid on P Nation's head office in southern Seoul and its subcontractors around 9:30 a.m., the officials said.

On July 31, a male Mongolian worker in his 20s, who was hired by one of P Nation's subcontractors, died in a fall while taking part in the dismantling of stage facilities for Psy's water-shower concert, dubbed "Drenched Show," in Gangneung, an east coast city in Gangwon Province.
