Korean rapper-singer Psy
performed the horse-riding dance of his hit single "Gangnam Style" during a U.S.
music awards ceremony.
Psy, whose real Korean name is Park Jae-sang, did
the famous dance with comedian Kevin Hart on stage at the 2012 MTV Video Music
Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles on Thursday night (U.S. WST), which was
broadcast live.
The singer has been the talk of the media in the last few
weeks for the music video for "Gangnam Style" that has spawned various online
parodies.
The music video broke the 100 million mark in YouTube views on
Tuesday.
Questioned how he feels about the record number of views from
Hart, the host of the ceremony, Psy answered in Korean that he feels really good
and happy.
"I wanted to describe my feeling in Korean once on this
stage... It's knocking me dead," he said.
He then performed the horse
dance one more time before making his exit to great applause.
On the back
of the song's explosive popularity on the Internet, Psy signed a contract on
international publishing rights with Universal Republic Records, a label owned
by Universal Music Group, and a separate management contract with a label run by
Scooter Braun Project, a company founded by Justin Bieber's manager Scooter
Braun.
Psy is on his second trip to the U.S. in a month to promote his
new album to media and discuss details of the deal with Braun.
He is
scheduled to return home after staying in the country for about two
weeks.(Yonhap) |
