Kicking off on September 19th, the ceremony is set to include poetry readings, fireworks, lighting of the Asian Games cauldron, and K-pop performances alongside the pop-classical duo. The unlikely collaborators will be performing a classical version of PSY's 2002 hit, Champion.

The classical star has been vocal about his love of the YouTube rap sensation since Gangnam Style's release in 2012, even threatening to perform the piece at the Classic BRIT Awards 2013 . PSY in turn has previously suggested he'd find it amusing to see Lang Lang hopping around the dance floor, performing the famous horse-riding dance.

The Asian Games is the second largest international games after the Olympics. This year's event, the 17th Asian Games, runs from September 19th until October 4th, featuring 439 events in 36 sports and disciplines.

Cool. I want Lang Lang's jacket.

I wish Psy would reupload the actual video for Champion to youtube.
