PSY

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 as Psy mikes lots of styles. The video "Gangnam Style" mixes rap and martial arts with dance moves that look like Psy in on a horse!

From Soth Korea to the USA
Psy grew up in Gangnam District, a rich district in Seoul, South Korea. After leaving school he went to the USA to study business administration. Psy's father is in charge of a big company and Psy was going to take over one day.

Psy discovers his vocation
But Psy soon realized that he preferred the music world to the business world. He used the money for his business education to buy musical equipment and started studying music instead. With his experience of the USA and its music in his mind, he returnde to South Korea with a clear idea: to become a famous singer.

Thank you Facebook
Psy likes to have fun, and his humorous videos are big part of his success (he imitates artists like Lady Gaga). He beat stars Katy Perry and Rihanna to win the MTV "Best Video" award in 2012.
Social media have also made Pay famous. Last November, about 20,000 people came to see him at a "flashmob" event in Paris that was organised on Facebook.

A hero in Korea
Many people go on YouTube to watch Psy because they are curious;they want to understand why a crazy Korean star is getting so much attention. But in his country, Psy is a hero. The government has given him one of the country's highest honours for his exceptional services to the arts.

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.
