I'm not that good looking.
Psy -
I will bring more Korean dance moves and Korean songs overseas.
Psy -
I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world.

My original name is Jae-Sang Park, so it's totally different.

In Korea, it's a tradition to inherit your father's business. Unfortunately, I'm the only son in the entire family, so they were forcing too much.

Thanks to many great K-pop singers, the groundwork has been laid for more Korean songs to be readily accessible to an overseas audience via channels like YouTube.

I've got to wear sunglasses everywhere, all the time, even if its indoors or at night time, to be recognized. That's part of my job. I cannot take off my sunglasses. For me, staying in the United States was so dark because I can't take them off.

Before 'Gangnam Style' I was not a good attitude artist.
Psy -
I cannot learn creation from other people; I've got to do it myself. Now, honestly, I regret not studying - I don't know about harmonies, or anything, so if I'm composing a song, it's really hard.
Psy -
I have twins. They are 4 years old. They know the word 'concert,' so they know father's job is 'concert,' and they prefer concert over father.
Psy -
If I say, 'Hey, I'm Psy.' 'Psy?' 'The guy from the video on YouTube?' 'Oh.' I hate that. I've got to be more popular than the video. So I need to keep promoting myself.
Psy -
We are just at the studio, me and my choreographers, we are spending like 30 nights and we are thinking, what is my next dance move? Because in Korea there are huge expectations about my dancing. So it was a lot of pressure.

All the people in Korea are cheering me like I'm a gold medalist or something, so I have a responsibility to my country.

To the U.S. and the world, I'm just known as some funny song and some funny music, some funny video guy. But in Korea I'm doing one of the biggest concerts; it's not a dance music concert. I'm playing with the band, so I change my every song to a rock song.
Psy -
I've always tried to come up with funny dancing since I was young, to attract girls' attention for one thing. It's got to be funny. I can't pull it off with serious dances. That's not me.
Psy -
Unexpectedly, I'm here now, so I need to let all the U.S. marketers know that Asians are not different. We are all the same.
Psy -
I just made my album. I did my best. And I uploaded the video just to 'YouTube.' That was all.
Psy -
My wife looks at the person Park Jae Sang and the singer who goes up on stage, Psy, as different people.

I was not familiar with the Internet thing. Honestly, you know with all kinds of Internet media, I was not that familiar. I was not that kind of guy. Accidentally, 'Gangnam Style' happened, and you have YouTube and all other sorts of stuff like Facebook and Twitter and so on. So after that, I learned and learned.
