Psy's Free Concert Electrifies Some 80,000 Fans in Seoul

Psy is a singer-songwriter and ultimate entertainer.  It is true that he has been considered a rather quirky performer by many Koreans.  Even so, he seems to know how to entertain and engage people with his great performance.

Having studied music at an art school during my secondary school years (I never knew I would end up writing high-tech stuff), I like all kinds of music including pop songs, of course.  Psy recently said in an interview with Billboard, he wants to produce his concert in the States.  Way to go, Phy.

Here are his video links:

From Yonhap:

Rapper Psy hit the stage at a public plaza in front of Seoul City Hall for a free concert designed to thank home fans for their support of his global hit song "Gangnam Style."

About 80,000 fans feverishly cheered and screamed "Psy" as he performed the signature horse-riding dance at the concert, dubbed "Seoul Style." The wacky song has become a global sensation since its July release on YouTube.


"Gangnam Style" became a global sensation just a few months after its debut, with its music video spawning a series of copycat videos and parodies on the Internet. The music video, highlighted by Psy's comic horse-riding dance moves, recently topped the 300 million view mark on Youtube.

On the Billboard chart released earlier in the day, Psy ranked second for the second consecutive week, according to Billboard.com. Last week, he jumped to No. 1 on the British Official Singles Chart with his popular track. In a recent press conference, Psy said he would perform shirtless if his song climbs to the top of the Billboard chart.
