Psy has confirmed that his next single will be in English, and has also spoken about the pressure of following up 'Gangnam Style'.
The South Korean popstar's hit song has topped the charts in countries including the UK and Australia, and its video has become the most 'liked' ever on YouTube.
Newsbeat quotes Psy as saying: "The second single is going to be in English. And the thing is, it's too much pressure to overcome 'Gangnam Style'. It's really hard."
He went on: "The problem is my music video is more popular than I am. That's a big problem for me right now, so I've got to overcome my music video first.
"I've got to come to the UK, I've got to go everywhere to promote myself, who I am and what I've done for 12 years in Korea."
The singer also spoke about how he is treated back home following his global success, laughing as he explained: "Everybody is treating me like a gold medallist.
"Everybody is describing me as a worldwide phenomenon, so especially for Korea, they are thinking of me as representing our country for the new history, for the K-pop history, so they are cheering a lot here." (source)
Better not release his single before 2NE1 or TaeYang or I'm going to south Korea to burn YG's Office and QUICK!
lmao i know right i don't see a taeyang release happening until like february though. we'll be lucky if they even release any 2ne1 material at this rate too
I'd be impressed with even a top 40 followup. But just because it'll be extremely difficult for him to make headway doesn't mean he shouldn't try. Good luck.
If the single features LMFAO and Pitbull and on the MV appears Britney dancing he will have an even bigger smash but I really doubt any of that will happen, he is a one hit wonder worldwide but he has a career in SK.
