Psy asks China to give him high paycheck? “It’s not true”

YG Entertainment recently said that singer Psy will not appear on Chinese CCTV’s show.
On November 26, the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong reported that Psy will appear on CCTV’s special program for the New Year.
The media outlet also said that Psy asked the production crew to give him 3 million yuan (520 million won) for a 30 minute performance. The news made some Chinese people disapprove of his appearance.
Some people even said the demand was preposterous and it would be better to use the money for the needy.
Psy’s agency, YG Entertainment, however, said that Psy does not have any plans to go to China at this time. They said, “Even though we have received forty to fifty offers from China, we haven’t made any plans to appear on any Chinese shows.”
The agency also said that the high paycheck rumors are groundless. “The production crew suggests a performance fee first and we arrange it together but we’ve never asked for an amount first. I don’t know why the news said that we asked for 500 million won,” they added.
Psy arrived in Korea on November 23 to take some time off. He will go to Thailand on November 27 to attend the King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 85th birthday event.
He will then go to Hong Kong on November 30 to attend the ’2012 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Award.’
