PSY reveals that Yang Hyun Suk treats him differently now





International sensation PSY has revealed that the way people treat him has changed.


On the August 29th broadcast of SBS‘ “One Night of TV Entertainment“, PSY spoke about his thoughts regarding the “Gangnam Style” syndrome.


PSY said, “CEO Yang Hyun Suk‘s tone of voice when he speaks to me in private has changed. In the past when he answered my phone calls he would answer with, ‘Why? What? Why?‘. However, now he answers the phone stating, ‘CNN dongseng (younger brother)~’.”


He continued, “(In America) about one out of a thousand people recognize me. But I have to have my sunglasses on. I didn’t take off my sunglasses in America. My vision was always blurry and very dark.”


With regards to the international popularity of “Gangnam Style”, PSY answered, “When I went to the US, I met with local producers and had interviews as well. I never thought that people overseas would take joy in it this much. I think it was due to my folksy appearance. I think I might be the only person that looks like me.”


While PSY has been making an explosive impact overseas, he has kept his fun, jokester-like attitude that everyone knows him for.

PSY’s “Gangnam Style” receives coverage on the Los Angeles Times + Wall Street Journal





PSY‘s latest hit, “Gangnam Style“, seems to have hit it off with worldwide audiences. On top of the news that the song received airplay on CNN, news outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal have been covering the artist’s newest track:


 


Essentially, the song is about finding the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild.


As for why the video is so successful–12 million views and counting–it’s pretty obvious. Just watch it. Then watch it again. Then watch it one more time after that. And another time…

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly how or why Psy’s video took off among America’s online hipsters. A tweet by rapper T-Pain on Sunday no doubt has a lot to do with it. “Words cannot even describe how amazing this video is,” he wrote.
