Likely to be a dub post but it's all in the name of Korean appreciation.

Yes guy I'm quoting, Korean girls are the shit. First girl I ever had a serious relationship with was Korean. I do not regret that at all, if anyone is ever looking for a super eccentric chick to date, hit up a Korean girl.

And these guys probably need to make an edit to Gangnam Style:

I'm pretty sure because of NS, I saw it when it had fewer than 500k /claim.

But in all seriousness, we've created what might (and probably will) become the greatest one-hit-wonder in the history of earth. I know he's popular in Korea, but 5 years down the road, Gangnam Style will just be "that famous video" and Psy will be remembered for only his one song.

Never mind then, my bad. However Americas attention span is so short anyways that he might as well have been just another youtube one viral video hit wonder.

I dislike how every asian person thinks it is god's gift to man and references it every possible opportunity.
That's how it is where I live anyway.

A friend on FB told me that his old music was aimed to attack Americans. Something about a song about killing American soldiers and their families...?
If its true were supporting that guy.. Which ain't cool man.

Rebecca black got her song by paying a company to make the song and the video, and the video blew up because of how bad it was. She was never destined to go anywhere.

I'm not saying is the same I'm just saying they are similar situations. I mean after all you can't understand 90% of what he's saying in that song

Its not similar at all. The only thing they have in common is that they're music videos on YouTube

Challenge Newschoolers: how many millionaires have been made from a you tube video upload? (single video or collection of videos...). And I'm talking random punters here-like you/me who upload vids that go viral and then generate huge ad revenue?? so not videos of president speeches, or Tom cruise movie trailers etc... Purely gangnan
