How many times have you watched it? Korean rapper Psy's slick, wickedly satirical video "Gangnam Style" broke all kinds of sound barriers this year, clocking more than 820 million YouTube views — and counting. The über-ambitious Seoul music industry watched in amazement as the eccentric 34-year-old hip-hop artist, gleefully skewering the music machine that made him, managed to go where no Korean performer had gone before. The rest of us just danced. We'll have Psy to thank on the inevitable day when we do the horse dance for our grandkids at a wedding. And they'll have Psy to thank for the great Korean bands on whatever device they'll be using to listen to music.
Should Psy be TIME's Person of the Year 2012? Vote your answer on the source link!

Date: 2012-11-27 04:46 am (UTC)there is no chance at him actually being the person of the year but the actual people who end up in the magazine are usually because of voting.

Date: 2012-11-27 07:02 am (UTC)this made me lol in particular:
"but K-Pop is bursting at the seams with artists as, if not more, talented. American journalists need to start realizing how big and wide K-Pop is. America is just late to the party; which means there needs to be more research being done by the journalists. "
ok. rofl. i know hallyu has been pretty big but not as big as some kpop loving fans make it to be...it has slowed down a lot since 08 IMO...

Date: 2012-11-27 05:54 am (UTC)He is a great performer and a fun pop song writer. But as a person? I don't know what he's like.
Clearly he likes to make people have fun. But why? What is his motivation to want people to have fun?
And is that motivation great enough to warrant him being the most important person this year?
