Does South Korean Rapper PSY Hate America?

http://923now.cbslocal.com/2012/12/07/does-south-korean-rapper-psy-hate-america/

PSY has been taking over America with his surprise smash hit “Gangnam Style” but there’s new information on the South Korean pop star that will soon change his popularity among U.S. fans.

It turns out PSY has been involved in several anti-American protest performances. According to Mediaite.com he smashed a model U.S. tank while onstage in 2002 to oppose 37,000 U.S. troops that descended on the Korean Peninsula.

A few years later, PSY cursed Americans after a South Korean missionary was executed. His song “Dear American” sets the record straight.

“Kill those f***ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those f***ing Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully,” he raps.

PSY is slated to perform for President Obama for a Christmas In Washington special to air on TNT Friday, December 21. As a result, a petition to rescind his invitation has been created by outraged Americans for his anti-American song lyrics.

Looks like PSY’s 15-minutes of fame are just about over.

UPDATE: PSY Apologizes


PSY has released a statement through his publicist Matthew Hiltzik apologizing for the words used in his song “Dear American.”

“As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world,” said Psy in a statement.”

South Korean Pop Star Criticizes US 'Bomb the World' Foreign Policy

...the mob calls for his head:

See especially the snarky last line:

“Looks like PSY’s 15-minutes of fame are just about over.”

Admittedly his critique is crude hyperbole, but how to conclude that he "hates America" because he criticizes the US government's invasion of Iraq and its militaristic foreign policy? Here again is the media conflating the foreign policy of the US government with the US people. "America" is not the government. We are not yet the total state, despite the best efforts of some.

In fact, the suggestion that one should be denied a living for criticizing US government policy is far more anti-American than anything this Korean pop star has said.

UPDATE: In the great Stalin tradition, PSY has engaged in a round of recantation and self-criticism in attempt to salvage himself from the "people's court" which seeks to hang him. In a statement he released today, he said:

"As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world."

See, he really does love freedom!

Only 15 years hard labor.

Dear $$$$$$$$$, I'm sorry.

 

[coastie]

I'd tell the people to fuck themselves, my comments stand. Another fake, more worried about money than the message.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

Uhoh...being anti-war is anti-American again.

 

[furface]

PSY the wuss

Have a little spine why don't you, dude.

PSY attended college in the U.S. and says he understands the sacrifices U.S. military members have made to protect South Korea and other nations. He has recently performed in front of servicemen and women.

I guess he's gone mainstream and mainstream media has always been part of the military industrial complex.

I can't get enough! This is one of the most deliciously tacky things I have ever seen (on every imaginable level and aspect of production)! Enjoy....

[compromise]

Talking about killing American soldiers and their innocent families is wrong, regardless of what the soldiers did.

I think the problem is more with what he said than what he actually feels.

An understandable reaction after the world watched our guys laugh at the "bug splat" and so on...

I think the problem is more with what he said than what he actually feels.

Possibly.

A ridiculous tempest in a teapot I think, but whatever, it's still fun to watch the meltdown.

 

[pochy1776]

Psy could have used his gangnam fame to sa ythat america should get out of korea.

 

[Confederate]

Psy could have used his gangnam fame to sa ythat america should get out of korea.

Why would he? America guaranteeing South Korea's defense means they don't have to spend as much on their own military, meaning lower taxes for Psy.

Gangnam Style Sucks

Gangnam Style Sucks

I think it's great. He's mocking the the South Korean elites from Gangnam. And the video is ridiculous and hilarious.

PSY just needs a little conviction and to stop kissing ass

Does South Korean Rapper PSY Hate America?

Don't know, don't really care.

I despise rap music and don't intend to ever listen to his rhetoric.

Nonsense. The song became the number one video on YouTube in a very short period of time. The success of the video is very impressive.

 

[nobody's_hero]

Good, that song got old the 100th time I heard it in one day.

And this has, what, to do with my comment?

This. I don't think people would have cared if he was just calling out America, war, imperialism, etc

I think its good that he opposed the war, but talking or singing about killing soldiers' families slowly is wrong though, that's just sick.
