‘ Gangnam Style ’ once took the global world by storm and is still remembered as one of the most influential songs in K-pop that helped carry the Hallyu wave across the globe. The witty track was released 13 years ago in 2012, by none other than PSY , who is also responsible for other hits like ‘Gentleman’ and ‘Daddy’. Here is what the artist has been up to since the success of the song.
Where is PSY now
Around the time that ‘Gangnam Style’ was released, the singer had already managed to garner a lot of success in his career. He had already been active in South Korea since 2001, where his debut album had managed to establish his name in the music industry. Later, he went on to release more and more music, though it did not reach the same level of success as ‘Gangnam Style’.
He was also signed with none other than Scooter Braun as well, though he later returned home to promote in his home country. He continued releasing music and holding concerts in the country as well as around the world. His major success hit another milestone in 2019, when he decided to start his own label instead of being signed to someone else. Currently, he houses a lot of talented artists such as Heize, Crush, Jessi, Hwasa, TNX, and Baby DON’T Cry.
In 2022, he released the hit song ‘ That That ’, featuring Suga of BTS , which also reached new heights in global popularity.
The ‘ Summer Swag Festival ’
Annually, the artist holds a music festival titled the ‘Summer Swag Festival’ that has been a major hit amongst the public ever since he first began the series in 2012. Each other, the singer outdoes himself and presents performances that are filled to the brim with energy. This year, the star went across 9 different cities for his shows, and was joined by Rose from BLACKPINK for one of the performances, along with BIG BANG’s G-Dragon as well.
He was also last seen on the global reality TV show ‘KPOPPED’, where he starred as the judge alongside Megan Thee Stallion .
