Psy’s New Video Is a Quick Web Hit

The Korean pop singer known as Psy, who gained global notoriety last year when his song “Gangnam Style” became an Internet sensation, released a new single over the weekend, and many were quick to notice. In a little over a day, the video for the song, “Gentleman,” attracted more than 32 million views on YouTube after it had its premiere on Saturday during a concert in Seoul.

The video features Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, acting in his established ungentlemanly manner until he gets a taste of his own medicine from Son Ga-In, another K-pop star who is a member of the group Brown Eyed Girls. It also features a signature dance move to complement the horse-riding maneuver made popular by “Gangnam Style,” which has surpassed 1.5 billion views on YouTube since its debut in July.
