The Korean pop star Psy sits in a small airless room at the Dorchester in black harem pants and bare feet. In front of him there are three packets of cigarettes, but will 60 cigarettes be enough? He smokes incessantly, and when he isn’t smoking, he is asking anxiously for translation, and when he isn’t asking anxiously for translation, he’s telling me about his childhood and his abusive father, his “desperate” need for attention and his time in jail, about the drink, the drugs, and the lies.
He drinks all day and all night. Korean vodka is his “best friend” and his “vice partner”. He’ll also drink “whisky, vodka, tequila, whatever,” he sighs. “If I’m happy, I’m drinking, if I’m sad, I’m drinking. If it’s raining, I’m drinking, if it’s sunny I’m drinking. If it’s hot, I’m drinking, if it’s cold, I’m drinking.”
