Psy’s new song features take on Korean dance
SOUTH KOREA: South Korean rapper Psy is promising a “Psy style” take
on a traditional Korean dance to accompany the release next week of the
highly-anticipated follow-up to his global hit “Gangnam Style”. The new
single, titled “Gentleman”, comes out on April 12, and the 35-year-old
star will promote it with a special concert the next day in the South
Korean capital Seoul. “I’ve been working and reworking on it
continuously and I think the latest version will be the final one,” Psy
told a local TV news programme on Monday.
“This is another very rousing song. Its title is ‘Gentleman’. The
dance is one known to all Koreans but new to foreigners. This will be
presented in Psy style,” he said.
After the Seoul concert, he will embark on a gruelling tour schedule
of Europe and Asia in May and June.
Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-Sang, soared to global stardom after
“Gangnam Style” -- a satire of luxurious lifestyles in an affluent Seoul
district -- went viral on YouTube and topped charts worldwide.
