# PSY Taking Over the World with His Gangnam Style

 Conventional wisdom and good taste be damned because nothing is stopping **PSY** from becoming the world’s next chart-topping sensation.

The man behind the ridiculously catchy *Gangnam Style* ( 강남 스타일 ) has been making in-roads in the U.S, recently making an unplanned visit to an LA Dodgers baseball game. He stole the show when he appeared on-screen and performed his signature move, much to the approval of thousands of beer swilling baseball fans.

The Korean sensation, who has his eye on the spots reserved by the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen and Justin Bieber, has so far garnered over 48 million views on Youtube and has hit the number one spot on the iTunes singles chart.

Gangnam is an affluent district in Seoul akin to the “Beverly Hills of Korea,” the man himself says. The fact that he flies in the face of what would be considered fashionable is probably what has been his key ingredient to success.
