K-pop star Psy admits Malaysian fugitive Jho Low is his friend – and denies involvement in prostitution scandal
- Gangnam Style singer wrote on social media that the Malaysian fugitive businessman was among his friends
- Psy denied any involvement in a recent prostitution scandal involving the head of a K-pop entertainment firm
But Psy has denied any involvement in the recent scandal surrounding Yang, who is alleged to have procured prostitutes for two foreign investors from southeast Asia in 2014.
An investigative report by South Korean broadcaster MBC released on Monday said Low allegedly met Yang in 2014 through his friendship with Psy.
According to Soompi, a Korean entertainment news site, the MBC report claimed the entertainment mogul procured sexual services for Low and another potential investor in a club he owned.
Yang and Low have both denied the claims, according to reports by Soompi and the Malay Mail – although Low did admit to knowing Psy.
“Mr Low is a friend of Psy, and through him met Yang Hyun-suk,” said a statement released by Low’s lawyer in the United States. “He was never involved in, nor aware of, any conduct of the kind alleged in the MBC report.”
