If you will click on either of these icons, the screen would display the two billion number, as shown below, composed of dancing people. They are displaying two small icons of a dancing Psy next to the view counter as shown in the screenshot below. After all Gangnam Style is the first video on the website to reach two billion views. YouTube has joined the celebrations along with the rest of the world. He said in an interview – “It just happened.” Psy himself seems surprised at how the video became so popular. They are just different parts of a city – parks, roads, trains, and even toilet seats!Īlthough the song is in Korean so I didn’t understand the wording but judging by what people are saying about it, I believe the song is a humorous mockery of the places and people of Gangnam. Also, the places shown in the shoot are no extravagant locations. There are no special effects or expensive camera tricks involved.

In an interview Psy conceded that it took him only 48 hours to create the video song. In July 2012 he launched his sixth album named “Psy 6 (Six Rules), Part 1” which contained the song Gangnam Style in it. Then some of his other albums too created controversy. In the year 2001 Psy launched his first album named “Psy from the Psycho World!” The album proved controversial and the South Korean government fined him saying the contents of the album contained “inappropriate content”. He took admission in Berklee College of Music but dropped out soon and returned to South Korea to pursue a career in singing without any university degree. In 1996 he went to USA to study business as he was expected to help the family business of manufacturing semiconductor equipments, but he lost interest in studies and spent his time and money on music. Park Jae-sang who is popularly known as Psy was born in 1977 into a rich family in the Gangnam District of Seoul, South Korea. There were many things that worked in the video’s favor and in this article I will take a look at those things. On 30th May, 2014 it crossed two billion views on the site. This music video was uploaded on YouTube on 15th July, 2012. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to not have heard about it. Heard about Gangnam Style? Sure you have.
