People
PSY
A "Gangnam Style" singer.
People love to laugh at PSY's Gangnam Style video. But in his home country, South Korea, Psy is a national hero.
Go to Youtube and look for Gangnam Style... you'll see that more than
999 million people have watched the video by singer Psy. But a lot of
them can't understand the lyrics: Psy sings in Korean.
There is nobody like Psy
Psy's musical style is 100% original.
It is often called "K-pop", but this term
is misleading (see box top rigt) as Psy
mixes lots of styles. The video "Gangnam
Style" mixes rap and martial arts with dance
moves that look like Psy is on a horse!
Thank you Facebook
Psy likes to hove fun, and his humorous videos are a big part of his success (he imitates artists like Lady Gaga). He beat stars Katy Perry and Rihana win the MTV "Best Video" award in 2012. Social media have also made Psy famous. Last November, about 20,000 people came to see him at a "flshmob" event in Paris that was organised on Facebook.
Can Psy continue? Amazed by his success, Psy is not sure if he can make another song better than "Gangnam Style". But he shouldn't worry. Someone with the imagination to create pop songs inspired by horses is sure to have lots of other crazy musical ideas.
