Gangnum Style Takeover!

So I just really wanted to talk about Psy's new song Gangnam Style. When I saw the first teaser for this song I was already addicted to it. This song is just amazing from start to finish this song is amazing. The chorus is energetic and exciting and does a great job at keeping peoples attention.
Im not sure what this song actually means, I haven't really found a channel on Youtube that has made a sub of this song.
The video is to me just a classic Psy video, full of energy and over the top.  I wasnt really sure why Psy was in a horse stall but thats besides the point.
So I have noticed that Psy’s song Gangnam Style has gotten a lot of attention in North America. I am very shocked that it is so popular but I am very happy about it. Psy  is an amazing artist and I am happy that he is finally getting the recognition that he deserves. One thing that im not really sure that I like about the media coverage about him is that most media outlets are calling him an underground Korean artist; and I don’t believe that’s true. Psy is not an underground artist he is signed to YG Entertainment and their apart of the big 3 in Korea for labels. Psy is nothing but underground, im pretty sure everyone in Korea for the most part knows who he is. The only difference is that he is not that popular.
 Psy hasn’t released an album in 2 years, which might have diminished his notability in Korea but he is definitely not an underground artist. Im not that upset about the media calling him an underground artist because the US doesn’t really know much about Korean music and how Entertainment agencies work and stuff. Im just happy that Psy is getting lots of attention. I hope that YG benefits greatly from Psy’ s popularity. And I hope that they do a better job at promoting Psy by having him release an album at least once a year.
