Gangnam Style Success


The smash hit from Korean pop artist Psy whose real name is Park Jae-Sang  is taking over The United States. Move over LMFAO, because Gangnam Style’s got both the crazy video AND the contagious dance. Shufflin’ so last year, and “Call Me Maybe” you left at summer camp. This Korean singer and his video has Global Appeal! But why?

Fans love him because Psy is just having fun expressing himself in his videos, on stage, interviews, and even at the US baseball games. He seems like a humble and lovable person that is enjoying his global fame that he never intended to be.

It’s definitely amazing to think that PSY managed to even beat out social media giant Justin Bieber, whose manager, Scooter Braun, just signed PSY onto his Schoolboy Records label, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

After Psy’s first debuting on Sept. 6 at the American MTV Video Music Awards, he made an appearance on the 10th on “Ellen”, a TV variety show, as host Ellen DeGeneres invited him to make a surprise visit to teach the night’s guest Britney Spears his “Gangnam Style” dance, the “horse dance.” Ever since, his popularity in the US has been on the rise.

The music video on YouTube has reached over 200 million hits and it continues to be number one on the iTunes music video chart since the 22nd of August.
