check up on you vs check on you

Both "check up on you" and "check on you" are correct, but they are used in slightly different ways. "Check up on you" implies a more thorough or comprehensive investigation, often related to someone's activities or progress. On the other hand, "check on you" is more general and can simply mean to verify someone's status or situation.
