PSY’s hit “Gangnam Style” just became more legendary today for reaching 1 BILLION views on Youtube. So to celebrate the Korean rapper bought a new pad, spending $1.25 MILLION. PSY’s new place is a two-bedroom, 2 1/2-bathroom condo in Westwood’s prestigious Blair House building, which features a saline pool, a tennis court, a gym and a 24-hour concierge. His fourth floor unit also boasts a balcony, so PSY can take in the sights of L.A.’s crown jewel—Beverly Hills, which is just adjacent to Westwood. Must be nice. READ MORE BELOW. RUSS B

“Gangnam Style” Singer Apologizes For Anti-American Lyrics
Korean pop star PSY, who got a crazy amount of fame after his song “Gangnam Style” became the most viewed YouTube video ever, has issued an apology for his 2004 anti-American song. The lyrics of the song call for the death of American troops serving in Iraq. The song was written after a South Korean hostage was slayed by Iraqi insurgents and a anti-American sentiment spread across South Korea. When the media found out that PSY had these lyrics, it sparked an outrage in America and many people began to bash the singer regardless of the countless Americans who feel almost the same way he does. One day America is going to learn that the whole world doesn’t have to like us and although calling for the death of American troops is extremely harsh, many Americans do say the same thing often. How many times have you heard an American say “we should just blow up all of Iraq or Afghanistan?” that’s as equally wrong as everything PSY said. Read more below. Julie A.
Whoa! “Gangnan Style” Singer Psy’s Anti-American And Wants To KILL Americans!?
This is not okay!!! “Gangnam Style” singer Psy hit the jackpot for his most-viewed video, and reached instant celebrity status while doing so. But it has recently been found that Psy has an anti-American past, where he would attend anti-American rallies and protests where he would vocalize his strong hatred towards Americans. He even wrote lyrics in the past saying he wants to KILL Americans!!! He wrote an apology for his past behaviors, but is that enough?! Hit the jump for the story. Melissa Nash
Tech Talk News: Psy’s “Gangnam Style” Cashes In On Youtube!!!!
“Gangnam Style” style is quickly approaching 1 billion video views, you would think Psy would have cashed in on record sales. Think again Psy will net $7.9 million from ads on Youtube but will only earn approximately $60,000 this year from actual record sales in Korea. The song is currently available on iTunes for $1.29 but Apple takes 30% of that. Psy will probably make most of his money though endorsements and appearances this year. Even he’s sold more than 3 million singles and sold 100 in physical CD sales (he gets about 9 percent cut from that) the Youtube checks will probably be greater. Yungjohnnybravo x TatWZA
