SEOUL: It's unlikely anything Korea's pop giant Psy will do in the future will rival his global phenomenon “Gangnam Style,” but fans are expecting the rapper to push hard to maintain his success and his spot atop the international music scene. “I really do hope that he can find something just as exciting, creative and entertaining,” high school student LeeAnn Lee told Bikyamasr.com as she and her friends were on the prowl in an upscale Seoul neighborhood for the pop icon after he had reportedly been spotted. Across Korea, there is a sense of pride in his showing in the United States and the YouTube views of the music vidoe that has seen millions attempt to emulate the now famous dance. This past week, after a tour of the United States, which included spots on Today and Saturday Night Live, Psy returned home to a hero's welcome. On Friday, Psy tweeted that “Gangnam Style" has topped 300M views on YouTube. It's all great news for the unlikely rapper who continues to take America and the world by storm. He didn't miss a beat, literally, upon return to his native Korea, where he headed to a local university campus to perform his now iconic dance. At a press conference, Psy said that America was very good to him. “Even if they didn't know the lyrics, they just danced," he said on Thursday. Matt Lauer had said in a “Today" segment, “We're looking forward to having Psy back on the Plaza at his earliest convenience." With a new music deal for an American audience in the works, over 300 million YouTube views of his trademark dance, the future for the young Korean pop star is just beginning. He even taught Britney Spears the dance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. And as NBC said, the rapper “provokes normally level-headed people to break into dance."
