If you haven’t been introduced to the unstoppable earworm that is PSY’s “Gangnam Style”, welcome back from the coma. Good to have you back.
This K-pop phenomenon — currently #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — has inspired numerous parodies and mashups and led to massive crowds of fans. PSY even recently performed the “Gangnam Style” dance with Hugh Jackman while they both wore Wolverine claws. (That was a perfectly normal sentence.)
PSY has responded to this sudden stateside popularity by stopping by Reddit to answer some questions. Our 20 favorite threads from PSY’s Reddit AMA are collected below, including .gif reactions and relevant media. Thanks to The Daily What for the banner picture.

If you read this while listening to that other song he listed (It’s Art), everything about life becomes better.
Faith in humanity… rising?
Which do you prefer boy or girl??
The 10 hr. loop of the the elevator sequence from the Gangnam Style video might be the greatest thing that exists on the internet at this very moment.
He’s so hot. The only way he’d be hotter is if he was making out with the sauna guys in the video.

An explanation of the scrambled eggs remark, which I think comes of as weird or a non sequitur at first: Koreans don’t eat what Americans consider to be “breakfast food” for breakfast. They usually have soup, rice, meat, and various banchan (side dishes) like they would at other meals. Psy lived in the U.S. for a time, so he probably found it hard to get used to eating eggs for breakfast while Americans see it as normal. Just like Americans would find it hard to rap in Korean while Psy does not, since it’s his first language/he’s fluent.
I live in near Detroit in the burbs and it’s generally accepted to take your shoes of at the door. I don’t want fuckers messing up my carpet.
