Park Jae-sang was born on December 31, 1977 to an affluent
family in the Gangnam District of Seoul, South Korea.His father, Park Won-Ho,
is the executive chairman of DI Corporation, a manufacturer of semiconductors
listed on the Korea Exchange.Joining the YG family in 2010, singer-songwriter
PSY is a consummate showman, who has become best known for his exciting and
theatric stage performances. PSY’s desire to entertain his fans is evident from
the countless concerts he has put on during his career. Incorporating his witty
ideas and unique energy into everything from the music and choreography to
costumes and skits that make up his shows, PSY
creates an unforgettable concert experience for his fans. Attendees of his
recent year-end “One Touch” concert tour with Kim Jang Hoon were quick to
spread the word about his fantastic performance, making it one of the most well
reviewed concert tours in Korea. With the passion that PSY brings to the stage,
it is obvious why he is regarded as one of Korea’s best performers. PSY
is known for his sense of humor in his concerts, where he imitates female
singers such as Park Ji-yoon, Lee Hyori, Lady Gaga and Beyonce.Although his
music is part of the K-pop (Korean popular music) genre, Beth Hong from The
Vancouver Observer noted that PSY "doesn't fit the standard K-pop idol
image of being incredibly young, good-looking, and able to carry a melodramatic
note.In July 2012, PSY released his sixth album PSY 6 (Six Rules), Part 1
and the song "Gangnam Style" appeared in broadcasting networks and
newspapers outside Asia. On December 21, 2012, at around 15:50 UTC, his music
video for "Gangnam Style" exceeded 1 billion views on YouTube,
becoming the first video to ever do so in the website's history.PSY was
subsequently recognized by the media as the "King of YouTube".On
December 31, 2012, PSY performed in a globally televised New Year's Eve
celebration with American rap-artist MC Hammer on-stage in front of a live
audience of over 1 million people in Times Square, New York City.Listen song here:YouTube
