Psy Surprised at “Gangnam Style” Success at Seoul Press Conference
The kpop song “Gangnam Style” is making world records as the first Korean pop song to make it big worldwide.
It’s left many, including the artist himself, more than a little surprised. Psy spoke at a press conference in Seoul about the first moment he realized how huge it was becoming.
[Psy, Kpop Rapper]:
“At that point I was wow what’s happening right now?”
At the same time, he thinks the song has been overanalyzed – seen as a parody of wealthy Korean`s lifestyle.
[Psy, Kpop Rapper]:
“You know suddenly this song became this big and I got a lot of questions about what this song is about but it’s kind of embarrassing but let me say, it doesn’t have any meaning actually. I’m just staying Gangnam Style, Gangnam Style, Gangnam Style, which doesn’t have that much meaning. It’s about some lady and some guys; “dress classy, dance cheesy” or whatever.”
Psy will be busy in South Korea with work lined up on commercials, a TV program and the F1 Grand Prix. He says he’s working with his manager Scooter Braun to focus on publicity in the U.S. and plans to visit US fans there in mid-November.
