Would the success story of Gangnam Style be re-written? This April, Psy is finally making a comeback. And this time, he comes with a new song, titled, Gentleman. The CEO of YG Entertainment, the agency to which Psy belongs, raised his thumb after listening to the new song and carefully said, “I have a good feeling about it.” This was the exact comment he made just before releasing Gangnam Style. The new song, Gentleman, is ready to kick off.
With the release of the new song just few days ahead, I called Yang Hyun-suk, the CEO, who treats Psy like his own brother. Psy moved his agency to YG Entertainment last year, and Gangnam Style, which was produced afterwards, went viral around the world. The perfect vibe between YG and Psy became the propeller of K-pop wave across the globe. However, the CEO sounded somewhat nervous when he said, “my heart’s beating fast.”
He added, “I can only say that I have a good feeling for the new song. It is for the public to decide whether it’s good or not. We are someone who is trying to follow the trends and find out what the public likes. But Psy worked extremely hard for the last few months, that’s for sure. It was heart-aching to see him spending night and day at the YG head office for the new song.” This already shows how passionate Psy is.
In the evening of April 13, Psy is holding a concerted dubbed Happening at Seoul Sangam World Cup Stadium. 500,000 fans are expected to join him. YG’s artists G-Dragon and Lee Hi will grace the stadium with their presences as guest artists.
Psy’s upcoming concert is worth 3 billion won, and the world star’s performance will be streamed live on Youtube. It is one of the largest events in Korean music industry.
Yang Hyun-suk also commented, “Psy and I are not perfect. But we try really hard to do our best. It is my duty as the producer to satisfy the expectations of the fans who spend their money to come to the concert.”
Gangnam Style, the first song Psy and Yang produced since joining YG Entertainment, penetrated all corners of the world with its up-beat and fun rhythm, not to mention the addictive horse-ride dance. Its Youtube views broke the record and ranked number one in iTunes Global Chart and second in the American Billboard. A groundbreaking record for any artist.
Yang did not say anything more than “I have a good feeling,” but as he is the one person who knows Psy’s devoted working process, it is safe to say that we can expect to see another wave of Gangnam Style from his new song.
