Psy has a lot to be proud about; two hit singles, worldwide recognition, and now a second Guinness world record.
Korean rapper Psy (real name Park Jae-sang) is undoubtedly the most recognizable Korean in the world after his mega-hit song "Gangnam Style" became the most popular YouTube video of all time at over 1.5 billion views and counting.
Many people had doubts he could do it all again, but the release of "Gentleman" proved to be just as successful in its own right, having gained almost 250 million views since its release earlier this month. What is more, "Gentleman" nabbed Psy another Guinness world record, this time for the most online views in a single day.
On the second day of its release, "Gentleman" racked up 38 million YouTube hits, blowing away the previous record-holder "KONY 2012," a video exposing Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony. The Kony video earned an impressive 30 million views in a single day last year.
Psy's "Gangnam Style" earned the singer a world record for the most "likes" on YouTube.
While talking to reporters at Incheon Airport in Seoul prior to his departure to the US for promotional activities, Psy expressed his pleasure with how well "Gentleman" is doing. "I'm not a one-hit wonder, I'm really happy and relieved about that," he said.
