BJ Kay (36, real name Park Jung-kyu), the boyfriend of YouTuber Gwajuseyeon, has acknowledged that he is under police investigation for allegedly obtaining prescription sleep medication illegally and has issued an apology.
During a live broadcast on the 27th, BJ Kay stated, "There was an article about the prescription drug allegations, and I admit it is true."
He added, "I am currently receiving prescriptions properly and I apologize for creating this issue. I have cooperated fully with the investigation, and I am waiting for the results."
According to the Korea Economic Daily, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul reported that on July 30, they placed Park under non-custodial investigation for violating the Narcotics Control Act. Park is accused of having a friend obtain a prescription for a sleep medication classified as a psychotropic drug and then taking the medication himself.
Initially, Park was known to have started his internet broadcasting career in 2012 and has approximately 700,000 subscribers on YouTube. However, suspicions arose online that he might be BJ Kay. With BJ Kay admitting to the allegations, attention is now focused on the investigation's outcome.
Meanwhile, BJ Kay, born in 1989, is active as a streamer on SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV). In April, he publicly revealed his relationship with Gwajuseyeon, who is 11 years younger than him.
Gwajuseyeon, born in 2000, began her broadcasting career in 2019 and gained recognition by appearing in Netflix's original variety show 'The Influencer.' She later attracted attention in 2024 when photos surfaced of her with Bang Si-hyuk, the chairman of HYBE, in Beverly Hills, USA.
