Watching Super Junior and SNSD bounce their heads in unison while drinking "Sweet Tea" is comical to me. Why? I don't know but I just imagine all 20 of them in a room practicing this together for hours.

Psy Says He's Satisfied With The Success Of 'Gentleman' Because 'It Proved I Wasn't A One-Hit Wonder' [VIDEO]

"Gangnam Style" may have been the song that made Psy an international celebrity, but it was "Gentleman" that allowed him to get on with his life.

"Gangnam Style" may have been the song that made Psy an international celebrity, but according to the South Korean rapper, it was "Gentleman" that allowed him to get on with his life.

In this month's issue of L'Uomo Vogue, the Italian version of the popular magazine, Psy, who is the first Korean artist to grace the publication's cover, explained why "Gentleman" allowed him to breathe a sigh 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.

Like Us on Facebook :

"Nobody can ever label me that now. 'Gentleman' has 500 billion 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 reportedly broken YouTube records in five categories, including most views in a video clip's first 24 hours, the most views in any 24 hours 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.

Psy compared "Gentleman" to a bunt coming off of the bat of Major League Baseball player Hyun-jin Ryu.

"I feel like Hyun-jin Ryu a baseball player from South Korea who plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers," Psy explained.

"One time he was just trying to swing it while he was closing his eyes, and he accidentally hit a home run, and the next time he was up, the crowd was calling for another home run, but honestly, he went for a bunt instead, so runners could advance to second base. So for me, 'Gentleman' was that bunt, so now runners are on second base, and now it's my time and I don't have to hit another home run, and if I just hit one single and you can score because I made a bunt that's even better."

The King of YouTube, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, also revealed how the food tent scene in the "Gentleman" video was inspired by his own love of local cuisine.

"We are eating in a tent, it's a pojangmacha, and the late-night streets of Seoul are packed with them," he said.

"The name literally means 'tented wagon', and they're something like a dive bar combined with a street food stall, serving up hearty, spicy, salty food to go with bottles of soju [Japanese distilled liquor] and beer."

Psy To Perform For The First Time Since His April 13 'Happening' Concert, In December At Seoul's Olympic Gymnastics Arena

Hometown fans will get an early Christmas present this year when the international K-pop sensation Psy plays his first concert in eight months.

Hometown fans will get an early Christmas present this year when the international K-pop sensation Psy plays his first concert in eight months at Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul.

The rapper and YouTube phenomenon hasn't hit the stage since his April 13 "Happening," that corresponded with the release of his last single "Gentleman."

And the "Gangnam Style" won't be limited to a one night only affair, according to a statement from the concert promoter in a press release issued Wednesday by Psy's record label YG Entertainment.

Like Us on Facebook :

"We have finalized the application for the concert hall rental for ten days from December 16 to 25," the promoter's statement read.

"Psy [has been] writing new songs in the US and he will finalize the exact date of the concert by consulting with his US agency."

Although the concert promoters are considering a long list of factors as they decide exactly when and where to have the shows, and for how many days.

"Sangam or Jamsil Stadium which can accommodate an audience of 50,000 are not appropriate since it is too cold to have an outdoor concert," read the promoter's statement.

"Because Olympic Gymnastics Arena can accommodate only an audience of 12,000, we may hold the concert for [at least] five days in a row."

Psy, who is expected to unveil his bevy of new material at the December shows has been had at work on his new album, being recorded in the US.

The album reportedly features high-profile collaborations with rock gods Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Brian May of Queen.

In an interview for this month's issue of Italian Vogue, Psy admitted to being a bit overwhelmed working with artists he had admired his whole life.

"Legendary artists like Aerosmith's Steven Tyler completed his recording right beside me," Psy said.

"When I was a middle school student, I used to cry listening to their songs. Aerosmith is my role model. I can't believe that I did collaboration with Tyler. I love my life."

K-pop Idols at Dance Practice: Our Favorite Mirror Dance Videos (Part 1)

I went on a YouTube rampage earlier today that landed me on a throwback video of 2PM doing a mirrored dance rehearsal for their single, "I Hate You," back when Jay was still a part of the group. What I've always loved about 2PM was their humor, and their ability to be professional yet always hilarious. Watch it here:

There's something entrancing about watching Sistar dance in a studio without the bright lights and camera angles. It may be that we realize their legs are longer than life and we start to feel a sting of envy and jealousy right through our blood stream causing us to feel complete entrancement. Oh, is that just me?

Why does 2NE1 have to be so perfect? Even in a simple studio space their swag is off the charts.

I love watching Psy dance, it's addicting. It amazes me what a normal looking guy he is when he's out of his signature suit and sunglasses.

I'm not a huge fan of EXO but I can't deny that their choreography to "Wolf" was one of the best and most creative ones I've ever seen!

Psy plans to celebrate the Christmas season with his Korean fans this year!

In December, Psy may be having his first exclusive concert in eight months at Seoul's gymnastics stadium. It appears that for his Christmas concert in Korea, Psy will reveal his new song for the first time. It is yet unknown whether this new song will be his collaboration with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.

One rep said, "We decided to request a Psy concert for ten days from December 16 to 25. Psy, who is working on his new song in America, will have a meeting with his American agency in the beginning of November to come up with accurate dates for his concert . . . It is difficult to have an outside concert at Sangam or Jamsil main stadiums, which can accommodate up to 50,000 people, because the weather is cold. It is possible that the concert may take place for five consecutive days at the gymnastics stadium, which can have up to 12,000 people."

Stay tuned for more information on Psy's concert schedule, which appears to be tentative as of now.
