Psy-sation to the World!

It seems funny to me the rest of the world is just catching on to how talented the rest of the world is. I've been an avid listening/consumer of South Korean Pop along with Japanese and Chinese pop for a few years now and I have to say I am very excited the rest of the world is catching on. There are so many talented bands and solo acts that go un-noticed by the western world. Bands like Big Bang and MBLAQ as well as UKiss and Block B. Solo acts like Jang Woo Hyuk, Rain and Junsu.  There are plenty of amazing talent in the world. If you listen to Scandal by Kang Ta and Vaness you can dance to the beat and the attitude even though you can't understand the lyrics. Listening to La La La by Se7en (Yes that is how he spells it) your heart will break by the sadness in the voice though it is not in English.  Then when not performing there are tons of videos on youtube with these bands and singers just being themselves and having some fun for their fans be it practical jokes on each other or  rehearsal videos.

Lately, a new sensation has taken the world by storm or rather Psy-sation! Park Jae-sang aka PSY has brought the horse-trot hotness that is the Gangnum Style to our side of the planet. Born in 1977, Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea this South Koran rapper, dancer and producer took over the internet when his song "Gangnum Style" went major viral. Psy is signed with YG Entertainment that has the likes of BIG BANG, 2NE1, Hip Hop powerhose EPIK HIGH, Se7en, Matsa Wu and Tablo, which means he's in great company.  Psy is all over the place now-from the Ellen DeGenerous show to Saturday Night Live, Psy is making his worldly rounds with his super fun, super energetic personality and dance moves.  But what seems to be his most important job or title so far goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
