If there is anyone left out there who still considers South Korean sensation Psy a one-hit wonder, you need to do your homework.

Psy's music video for "Gentleman," the follow-up to the King of K-pop's career-making smash "Gangnam Style," currently has over 575 million views on YouTube, making it the site's most popular video of 2013, according to Billboard.

And despite losing out to rap superstar Eminem for Artist of the Year at Sunday's first annual YouTube Music Awards, it is Psy who has driven the most traffic to the website according to reporter Jessica Oak.

"Although 'Gentleman' wasn't able to snag an award at the YouTube Music Awards last weekend, the video is still the most-watched video on YouTube of 2013 with 577 million views and counting," Oak wrote.

"Currently, the video is ranked at number seven on YouTube's all-time most-viewed videos list. The video is expected hit 600 million views by end of this year, which could bring the video up to number five."

In a cover interview in last month's issue of L'Uomo Vogue, Psy, who is currently putting the finishing touches on a new album featuring collaborations with rock gods Brian May of Queen and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, admitted "Gentleman" allowed him to breathe a sign of relief.

"After 'Gentleman' was out, I was really satisfied with what it had done, because it proved that I was not a one hit wonder, a lucky shot," Psy said.

"Nobody can ever label me that now. 'Gentleman' has [over] 500 million views right now, the song also hit number one in 81 countries, and I am really relieved by that. Now I can really do what I have to do, comfortably. I don't have to make another dancing phenomenon, I am just going back to where I came from and it's really comfortable right now."

"Gentleman" has broken YouTube records in five categories, including the most views in a video clip's first 24 hours, the most views in any 24-hour period and the video to reach 200 million, 300 million and 400 million views the fastest.

"Gangnam Style" remains the most watched video clip in Internet history, with over 1.8 billion views.

After a seven-month hiatus from performing, Psy will return to the stage on Dec. 22 for a three-day stint at Seoul's Olympic Gymnastics Arena that he is calling Moonlight Gymnastics.

"For all of us who tried their best this year, let's do something that fits our 'class' for just one day," Psy wrote last week in a post to his more than 3 million Twitter followers explaining his concept for the December concerts.

"Let's do some Moonlight Gymnastics on the moonlit night of Christmas at the Gymnastics Arena that's known to be the best place to do gymnastics."
