Psy revealed that he has no plans to release an English version of his hit song “Gangnam Style“.
He had an interview with MTV that was released through their website on September 18, in which he stated: ”I do not want to cause confusion among the 160 million people (at time of the interview) who watched the ‘Gangnam Style’ music video. An English version will not happen.” Currently, the number of people who have viewed the music video is currently over 219 million.
He continued, “I think that rather than the language of this song, the sound, dance, and nonverbal aspects are more important.”
Psy did reveal that he has plans to release an album in English, however. He recently signed on with Justin Bieber‘s manager Scooter Braun, and they are moving forward with the English album.
