Directed by Cha Eun Taek, the video spotlights PSY’s wit. A Korean gong, English, rapping, boilermaker, Wolmido and Snoop Dogg together make the video more fun.
Foreign media are also spotlighting it. Billboard described it “hilarious,” while Time wrote “delightful.”
On May 31 PSY’s “GANGNAM STYLE” broke the record of YouTube by attracting 2 billion viewers. Many eyes are on “HANGOVER,” the already attention-catching video, to see what kind of record it will set.
Meanwhile, PSY is to release a new song “DADDY” this summer.
