| "Gangnam Style" becomes the first YouTube video to reach one billion views |
| December 21, 2012 |
| Psy had been well-known in Korea for a decade, earning awards and acclaim as well as a reputation for controversy but he was not an international star until "Gangnam Style." Though the lyrics are humorous, it was the video that made the song a sensation beyond Korea. Psy and others perform the "invisible horse” dance in a variety of locations. The iconic dance, the memorable chorus of "Hey sexy lady!" and the general over-the-top nature of the video caught the attention of a global audience. |
