Korea’s most famous rapper PSY best known for “Gangnam Style” three years ago with over 2.4 billion hits on YouTube, has since released other tracks. “Gentleman” was released two years ago with 205 million views on YouTube, “Napal Baji” with 13 million views two weeks ago, and most recently from his new album, “Daddy,” with over 58 million views.
“Daddy” seems to have more traction and getting a lot of press in Korea but it doesn’t look like it will top “Gangnam Style.” The music video for “Daddy” is very entertaining much like “Gangnam Style” but instead of the trademark horse dance, this time around he’s got a something similar to a scissor dance with his arms and legs jumping forward and backwards. It is just as humorous if not more as PSY acts with CGI help, as an elementary school kid, PSY as an adult and PSY as a grandfather.
