Psy performs “Gangnam Style” with prisoners in Thailand

There was a meaningful performance for “Gangnam Style” in Thailand. Some prisoners in Thailand recently held a contest for “Gangnam Style.”
On November 27, Bangkok Post reported that nearly 4,500 prisoners in Thailand held a “Gangnam Style” contest, and 70 of them performed “Gangnam Style” in front of the reporters.
The contest was held in order to keep prisoners’ health and decrease their stress. Their performances will be given before Psy performs in Thailand.
The news source says, “The K-pop sensation Psy is visiting Thailand for the first time.” Thailand is the country where the music video of “Gangnam Style” received the second most hits on YouTube after the U.S. As the music video has become the most watched video on YouTube, Psy is expected to receive a lot of attention from people in Thailand.
Psy flew to Thailand on November 28 to attend the birthday party of the king of Thailand. Psy will say thank you to people in Thailand and give a performance for them.
Psy was originally scheduled to fly to the country on November 27, but he flew the next day because he was too tired. Since he secretly came back to Korea on November 23, he has examined his health and has spent time with his family. He says, “I was really tired, but I got much better now after taking a rest and seeing my kids at home. People’s support really helps me a lot.”
Psy will attend the Extra Live Festival, an event to be held in celebration of the 85th birthday of the king of Thailand. Psy will perform “Gangnam Style” at the festival, and about 25,000 people are expected to come to the festival to see the performance.
Psy will fly to Hong Kong on November 30 and attend the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Award. After that, Psy will go back to the U.S. and continue promoting himself. He will release a new album in the U.S. in February or March next year.
