Park Jae-sang (Korean: 박재상; Hanja: 朴載相, IPA: [pɐk̚.t͡ɕεsɐŋ]; born December … Read Full Bio ↴Park Jae-sang (Korean: 박재상; Hanja: 朴載相, IPA: [pɐk̚.t͡ɕεsɐŋ]; born December 31, 1977), known professionally as Psy (stylized in all caps) (싸이; /saɪ/ SY; Korean: [s͈ai]), is a South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and record producer. Psy is known domestically for his humorous videos and stage performances, and internationally for his hit single "Gangnam Style". The song's refrain was entered into The Yale Book of Quotations as one of the most famous quotations of 2012.[2]
On December 21, 2012, his music video for "Gangnam Style" exceeded one billion views on YouTube, becoming the first video to do so in the website's history. Psy was subsequently recognized by the media as the King of YouTube. As of May 2023, it is the eleventh most viewed video on YouTube, with over 4.7 billion views.
In December 2012, MTV noted Psy's rise from being little known outside South Korea, to being hailed as the "Viral Star of 2012". On December 31, 2012, Psy performed in a globally televised New Year's Eve celebration with American rapper MC Hammer on-stage in front of a live audience of over a million people in Times Square, New York City. Following his departure from YG Entertainment in 2018, he founded his own company, P Nation, in 2019.
Park Jae-sang was born on December 31, 1977, to an affluent family in the Gangnam District of Seoul, South Korea.[10] His father, Park Won-Ho, is the executive chairman of DI Corporation, a manufacturer of semiconductor manufacturing equipment listed on the Korea Exchange. His mother, Kim Young-hee, owns several restaurants in Gangnam.
Park attended Banpo (반포) Elementary and Middle Schools and Sehwa (세화) High School. He disliked school and was known as the class clown. In an interview on South Korea's Seoul Broadcasting System, a former teacher of Park said: "I remember Psy making a lot of sexual jokes during class. He had such a big influence that he would drive the entire class to his jokes. I disliked him at the time, but looking back, I see that he added a great energy to the class."
Park told CNN's Alina Cho that when he was 15 years old, he watched a Korean TV programme that introduced foreign pop music. One particular episode showed a concert at Wembley Stadium held by the British rock band Queen where they performed their 1975 hit single "Bohemian Rhapsody". Park said it was this concert footage that sparked his love for music.
In January 2001, Psy debuted his full-length album Psy from the Psycho World!, for which he was fined by South Korean government authorities due to his album's "inappropriate content". Psy was a rookie hip-hop singer that stirred up the Korean pop music scene with very blunt lyrics, peculiar dance moves and an unconventional appearance that earned him the nickname "The Bizarre Singer(엽기가수)".
His second album Sa 2 also created controversy upon its release in 2002, earning complaints from civil groups due to the potentially negative influence his album would have on children and teenagers. Since then, Psy has been thought of as a controversial artist, and Sa 2 was banned in 2002 from being sold to the under-19 set. In September of the same year, Psy released his third album 3 Psy. The album's title song, "Champion", saw great success partly due to the hype from the World Cup games held in Seoul. Despite the significant amount of controversy surrounding his music, Psy was awarded songwriting accolades at the annual Seoul Music Awards, marking his breakthrough in the South Korean music industry.

Life Is Suffering
Psy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Life is so crazy
I remember sad times
When I was just a baby
Ever since I've been on drugs
Got evil thoughts daily
Carbonated being ima sprout
Up like a daisy (uhh ay)
Gotta transcend ima win
Yea I know that
Ain't got no dead friends
They my kin, for them I blow that
All this weight on me
I cant pretend, can you hold that
Neteru I know I sin
I couldn't control that
I ain't tryna work no job
(No no)
Been meditating daily
Get closer to God fasho
Elevating crazy
I gotta ease my mind some more
Gotta strong soul just like sumo
My heart green just like Luigi
Pure soul sippin' on Fiji
Baby I know that you need me
I just need for you to see me
(Oh ohhh)
Stepped up on the scene
With a cutter got em' bleedin'
(Oh ohhh)
Bitch we get even
(Oh ohhh)
I got demons
(Oh ohhh)
But they not really bad no
They just misunderstood
Prommo better watch yo back
Bitch I wish a n**** would

She ain't know how to act
When she got a taste of this wood
(Ye)

Doing what a big brother should

Put up that mud wall
In my body I'm godly
Thats what my blood called

When I was just a baby
Ever since I been on drugs
Got evil thoughts daily
Carbonated being know they
Gone look at me crazy

I feel like gazelle walkin'
Through the grass grazing
Go to heaven or hell
Ima go to where they made me
Neteru save me
My spirit guides lead me right

At a early age bussin'
Them rhymes I knew

Gotta gap I talk with a lisp
But I know that you feelin' this

@jessegarcia3587
This is like Dark Electro.
@sweetwheatsy
If this is truly the same Psy, it's a very interessting transition he has made... A bit like Deadmau5' descend into the mainstream (which he is trying to dig himself out of again, but still)
@miguelangelmelerocorrero7944
Alucinante tema. En esta vida solo los mas fuertes y malvados sobreviven. Cristo ven pronto y salvame de esta vida de sufrimiento.
@wasptube1
I agree with xboxuser013, this is more like DOOM metal crossed with Rave, got to be an English PSY
@miguelangelmelerocorrero7944
Vida es sufrimiento. Nacéis para sufrir. Por culpa de Adán y Eva conocimos el sufrimiento.
@edwardsdistress5599
I'm pretty sure this is along the lines of dark electro or EBM, it's not k-pop PSY.
@darkjavierhaf
hahahah PSY, legit.
@dragonlord2451
As an avid Psy fan, this is the same Psy that did Gangnam Style
@edwardsdistress5599
It's not. It's from a French album called In This Terrific Cold Room 2 , it's on Spotify and this song is on it. Apparently it's not even from 2008, but 2005, and the genres are listed as electro-industrial/IDM.
@Syngrafer
@Edward's Distress And now it's gone from Spotify for some reason. I remember back in 2012 or so and I tried to search for PSY on Spotify, and this is all that came up.
