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.
