Psy

           Good morning, our guest this morning is Psy, popular Korean singer, songwriter, dancer, rapper and record producer. His current hit Gangnam Style, named after the Gangnam District in which he grew up, has been sweeping the nation, making it to the cover of Billboard Magazine

But the hype does not end in America. The 34 year old sensation has recently been promoting his video worldwide. Safe to say, traveling to as many countries as this Korean superstar while performing the energetic moves in his video would leave anyone tired. But Psy does have a lot to show for all of his hard work and success. Since the video premiered in July of 2012, it has been viewed 532 million times on YouTube and has set the Guinness World Record for most "liked" video in YouTube history. 


However, the singer-songwriter also admits that he is getting sick of Gangnam Style, due to all of the requests he receives from fans who wish to learn the song's choreography. Luckily, this will not stop him from continuing on his journey and pleasing all of his fans. 

After all, this is the most success that the artist has gained thus far. Prior to Gangnam Style, the singer was involved in a bit of controversy when some of his songs were banned due to obscene lyrics. Despite this fact, his work had become a domestic hit and he even went on to win Melon Music Awards and Mnet Asian Music Awards. However, nothing can compare to the success he is seeing now internationally.

All that is left to wonder is what will happen after Gangnam Style? Will there be another internationally acclaimed hit including unique lyrics, dance styles, and wardrobe choices?It is clear to say that for the moment we all want more but for now I guess the only option viewers have will be to just follow Psy's website to see his latest happenings.
