He’d done that kind of move for several years. He just came to my music-video spot to cheer me up. PSY SAYS: “He’s also a very famous comedian in Korea. At the spot, everyone was crying – dying!” There were some dirty moves and there were some horrible moves we couldn’t use in the video. We just played the whole song and we just danced what we know in our lives. That was also ad-libbed – his moves, my moves, everything.

He just volunteered to do that for free so I cannot say, ‘Hey, let’s do that one more time.’ We did it like three times, that was all. He’s a really busy man in Korea so we didn’t have that much time with him. In the music video, he danced very serious, right? Overseas, they are watching, just ‘Oh, some unique yellow-suit guy’s dancing, who is he?’ But in Korea, everyone’s going crazy: ‘Wow, he’s dancing so serious. PSY SAYS: “The yellow-suit guy – he’s a Number One comedian in Korea. THE SCENE: Dance-off with the Man in Yellow in the parking garage Younger people feel like, ‘Hey, why are they walking back?’ and aged women say, ‘Hey, that’s the kind of thing in Korea for 20 years.'” The two women – they are walking back, right? In Korea, some aged women walk back to lose their weight, you know? That’s a very normal situation in Korea. PSY SAYS: “I try to show I’m dancing this horse-riding dance everywhere, and with everybody. THE SCENE: Dancing forward while the ladies march backwards That kind of explosion is kind of like a trademark of me in Korea.” So that was just a tiny piece of my concerts. PSY SAYS: “I’ve used very highly big-budget special effects in my own concerts for 12 years in Korea. There’s some lighting going on and mirror balls – that’s not suitable for transportation, right? I cannot play that scene in the Korean National Broadcasting System. When we were moving to this location, to that location, I suddenly found some bus on the highway, and I talked to the director: ‘Hey, let’s do that, the illegal thing, the older guys’ party time.’ The situation was ad-libbed on the highway. Honestly, that’s illegal, I think: They are standing when they are riding. PSY SAYS: “It’s like a tour bus, and a lot of older guys and older ladies are traveling to somewhere on the highways. THE SCENE: On the tour bus with the disco balls We were like, ‘Hey, what are we doing right now? Why are we at the sauna?’ The fat guy? Yeah, he was an actor.” At this sauna, every staff, even me, was out of their consciousness. PSY SAYS: “It was a real sauna, so it was hot, and I was so exhausted, and all of a sudden I feel like getting sleepy on his shoulder.
We edited a lot, and actually we tried a lot more than this.” I asked them, ‘Hey, throw it harder, throw it harder, so that way it’s going to look really hilarious!’ So they used a propeller. PSY SAYS: “Did you feel that I moved like Michael Jackson in that scene? I tried some things serious, to be ridiculous, you know. THE SCENE: Debris and snow whooshing into Psy’s face PSY SAYS: “When we made this choreography, we called it ‘horse dance.’ I told, ‘Hey, this is horse dance, so let’s find some horse place.’ In that way, it can be more cheesy. You know there’s a program called America’s Got Talent? We had a version of the program, which is called Korea’s Got Talent, and the boy came from there.
My thought was, the song releases on July 15th, and in Korea it’s really hot in summer. THE SCENE: Lounging on a beach that’s actually a playground Following is the singer’s scene-by-scene breakdown. “This is history in my country,” Psy says, from a promotional tour in New York City, during an enthusiastic 45-minute phone interview that had been strictly scheduled for 15 minutes. Obviously, they succeeded – “Gangnam Style” is not only spontaneously, ridiculously funny, it has snagged more than 167 million YouTube views since its release in mid-July and is climbing up the iTunes charts. For 48 straight hours in early July, Korean pop star Psy and his crew drove Seoul’s crowded highways in search of absurdist settings for his sexy horse dance.
