I am South Korean Singer, Rapper, Composer, Dancer and Creator of Gangnam Style PSY. AMA

I will be answering questions at 5pm EST for 1 hour TODAY. Send your questions now and I will try to answer as many as possible. I tweeted my verification (psy_oppa)


(AMA: Ask Me Anything)

So for those that don't know what an AMA is, PSY was basically answering questions from reddit users real time, i'm just copying and pasting what he managed to answer out of the thousands of questions. 

**There are 4 parts (4 posts) b/c livejournal hates me and said the one cumulative post was too large. I'll update a link for the rest of the parts at the bottom once the mods put it through.**

Psy you fucking rock! Thought you were hilarious in Hyuna's latest video. I have a few questions:

  1. As wonderful as she is, was there any reason you picked Hyuna as your front girl for Gangnam Style? I'm sure you had lots of choices in the Kpop world!

  2. When's your international album coming out? I think Right Now would be a great way to follow up outside of Korea, since I heard that you were looking to use a previous song. Would you be going in a similar direction for your next release, or would you be trying something like Champion instead?

shoutout to /r/kpop!

EDIT: Just saw that you actually intend to write your next song in English. Great! Any idea which direction you'd take it?

  1. i think hyuna is the best person for gangnam style because she has both aspects, sexy and cute

  2. coming very soon



[–]OrlandoFurioso 2063 points

Is Gangnam style intended to be a social critique, or is it just supposed to be fun?

[–]PSY_Oppa[S] 2081 points

GS is not a critique, just FUN!

How many asses have you screamed at since the start of your singing?

[–]PSY_Oppa[S] 1958 points

lots of ass questions. it is embarrassing to admit but this was my very first time



[–]tijuanacarwash 689 points

I am doing a report on Korean for a linguistics class. Do you find Korean to be difficult to rap in?

[–]PSY_Oppa[S] 1641 points

 ago

not at all because i'm korean!

in the same way, it's kind of hard to eat scrambled eggs for breakfast.



[–]indiggnantuser 599 points

If you could collaborate on a song with any one artist/band, who would that artist be?

[–]PSY_Oppa[S] 1164 points

i love so many but if i had to choose one justin bieber



[–]TheCSEC 1142 points

How did you come up with the name PSY?

[–]PSY_Oppa[S] 1957 points

 ago

short for psycho

How many times did it take to do the elevator portion of your video in Gangnam Style?

[–]PSY_Oppa[S] 2072 points

 ago

that was ad libbed. nong chul is the name of the elevator guy and he is very famous comedian in korea. that is a very popular dirty move he has been doing for 6 years and i asked him to do it in my video. if i am underneath, it would be dirtier!

we only did 2-3 takes and everyone on the video set was crying from laughing. definitely my favorite scene in the video.

And this is why it's successful.

lol @ all the ass questions. He's as witty as ever. Hongchul (and Jaesuk) part of the video was the best for sure hahahaha

lol idg the scrambled eggs for breakfast comment. what did i miss?

Date: 2012-10-25 03:02 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] chunsakuma.livejournal.com
I think he's saying that it's difficult for him to eat scrambled eggs for breakfast because he's not used to it, much like how rapping in Korean would be for someone who doesn't speak the language.

Date: 2012-10-25 03:06 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] markthatcoin.livejournal.com
yeah this is how i'm interpreting it, too

From: [identity profile] shanny-w.livejournal.com
after many moments of thinking this is all i could come up with... but at first i thought it was in reference to some joke. psy is too deep for me obv.

Date: 2012-10-25 03:03 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] markthatcoin.livejournal.com
there's another question about what he eats for breakfast ("korean food") but it doesn't quite fit the chronology...

here was reddit's response to the egg comment:

LOL! OK ty <3

Date: 2012-10-25 03:03 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] angel-9-lives.livejournal.com
not sure if you're serious or not, but I think he meant, since he's korean, rapping in korean is about as hard as eating breakfast food...for breakfast.

if you were kidding or looking for a hidden joke, just ignore me please^_^;;

i feel so babo rn

From: [identity profile] kanbinayume.livejournal.com
imo it's cultural differences, like how rapping in Korean seems hard for an English-speaker, eating scrambled eggs in the morning seems hard to someone used to Korean breakfasts

From: [identity profile] bestsama.livejournal.com
i took it as that it's hard to eat scrambled eggs with chopsticks

it's easier to eat scrambled eggs with chopsticks though

when i laughed out loud at the first answer i knew it would be great. AMAs have been good this year, this was no exception

in the same way, it's kind of hard to eat scrambled eggs for breakfast. lmao love, sometimes i feel so american

i think it's like the first time you watch gangnam style... you just go with it?

i have no fucking clue what the egg comment is about lolol

I think he is trying to bewilder us.

Date: 2012-10-25 03:11 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] markthatcoin.livejournal.com
i agree. i mean, he just revealed "GS is not a critique, just FUN!" when it defo feels like a critique. but i can't say no to fun!

Date: 2012-10-25 03:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] hisjulliet.livejournal.com
I'm pretty sure it's because he's not used to "American culture" yet (i.e. eating scrambled eggs for breakfast).
