PSy Apologizes For Past Anti-US Songs, To Perform For Obama


South Korean pop singer and ‘Gangnam Style’ creator Psy has tendered an apology for past concerts featuring anti-American lyrics as he plans to perform at a holiday gig to be attended by US PresidentBarack Obama and his family.
Psy immediately issued the apology after reports surfaced in the United States on Friday about his participation in two performances criticizing the US military in 2004.

While I’m grateful for the freedom to express one’s self, I’ve learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I’m deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted’, the 34-year-old rapper said in a statement.
I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words’, he added.

Psy at a show in 2004 protested the deaths of two teenage South Korean girls who were run over by a U.S. tank stationed in the country. In another, he criticized the US-led invasion of Iraq and its occupation, in which South Korean forces participated.
Psy is the current YouTube record holder for the most watched video with his viral smash hit ‘Gangnam style’ video having a total of 919,767,490 views.
