Psy will soon be breaking into the global market with UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC RECORDS!

Psy has signed on with UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC RECORDS for his management worldwide with the exception of Korea and Japan.

PSY will pursue a singing career under the management of Schoolboy Records, part of Universal Republic. Schoolboy Records is also in charge of managing the careers of pop star Justin Bieber and songstress Carly Rae Jepsen, while Universal Republic represents such artists as Gotye, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Mika.

Riding the wave of his global popularity, PSY's music video "Gangnam Style" reached over 100 million views as of September 5 at 9 a.m. KST, making him the first K-pop artist to achieve such feat.

Along with the news, it has also been announced that Psy will be attending the MTV VMA (Video Music Awards) coming up at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on September 6 (September 7 KST).

I
think the earlier info that he signed with Island Records was just a guess made by some unprofessional reporters.

I don't think it's a joke. I think it's a genuine big hit right now, and when people get tired of it, they'll move on. It's the nature of a fad. Just like the Macarena and Ricky Martin's songs. He might be able to gain more interest, like Ricky, but who knows.

In any case, I think this is cool. Even if nothing more comes of it, Psy has gotten the attention he finally deserves, and from now on alot more people in Korea will pay attention when he releases stuff. Nothing bad is coming from this, so just relax and enjoy the ride. :D

smart koreans everywhere are worried as much as the smart people in the fandom are that this is going to go nowhere and PSY has become mainstream for the wrong reasons

Happy for him! Hopefully he's not a one hit wonder. I bet YG is pressed.

People should just chill. Yeah, there's a big possibility he might flop, but whatever. The guy is CURRENTLY getting a lot of attention, let him enjoy his 5 minutes.
I love PSY and I hope he'll do good, but what I care more about is him getting the recognition he deserves in Korea. Because that's where he will go back to.

And btw, the video is reaching the end of world, a.k.a my country and people seem to enjoy it a lot. I can see him making it globally, if he keeps being all funny and not taking himself too seriously.
I'm totally watching VMAs for him. Ha, predicted it lol.

Just what are they trying to achieve.

Quite personally I'm excited for Psy. I wonder how are they going to go about his debut in America. I mean he did make it here (and he did make it here no one can say any different) with his Korean song....I wonder if he'll make a single with a English/Korean lyrics mixture....To be signed under a label that holds that many popular artists, I can hope to expect nothing but good things...

and maybe collaborations to get him known more

Ah... Island is owned by Universal music, so it's all the same in the end. =/
Good luck to Psy - I hope this all turns out well for everyone involved. I'd hate for his career to take any negative blows from something like this.

It's finally hit the UK and quite hard too!
This is still the maddest thing ever, I love how you can never predict these things in the entertainment world.
I bet YG is gonna be soooo smug.
