Psy, who swept across the world with his mega hit songs “Gangnam Style” and “Gentleman,” has once again proved himself to be a global star in the United States as he received the much respected Billboard Music Award.
“Gentleman,” the hugely successful follow up of the mega viral “Gangnam Style,” put Psy on a global stardom. On May 20 (Korean time), Psy made an appearance at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to attend Billboard Music Awards 2013. He was nominated in 6 different categories, and awarded the Top Streaming Song Video.
At the awarding ceremony, apart from receiving the award, he also received a standing ovation, as he was the first Korean artist to have won the award in a competition amongst world stars like Taylor Swift and Carly Rae Jepsen. It is a historic moment for the Korean rapper. As if to testify to the popularity of the chubby rapper, the MC, Tracy Morgan, of BBMA was dressed in the yellow suit that Yoo Jae-suk was wearing in the music video of “Gangnam Style.”
The award Top Streaming Song Video is given to artists who have the largest volume of viewers on social networking services including the most familiar YouTube. It was made possible thanks to Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” which now records a viewer number of 1.6 billion, putting it on number 1 in the world.
