Gentleman follows Gangnam

In the face of nuclear threats from Kim Jong-Un, South Korean singer Psy will release his new single “Gentleman”.
The song, a follow-up to his international hit “Gangnam Style” is due to be released online today.
Psy reached global stardom last year with his viral video for “Gangnam Style”, famed for the 35-year-old rapper's signature horse riding dance move.
A satire on the luxury lifestyle of Seoul's upscale Gangnam district, it has become the most-watched YouTube video of all time, registering more than 1.5 billion views since it debuted last July.
Psy has promised a “Psy-style” take on a traditional Korean dance for the new “Gentleman” video.
“I've been working and reworking on it continuously and I think the latest version will be the final one,” Psy told a South Korean TV news programme earlier this month.
“This is another very rousing song... The dance is one known to all Koreans but new to foreigners. This will be presented in Psy-style,” he said.
Shooting for the “Gentleman” video finished on Tuesday and it is not yet known when it will be released.
Questions are being asked whether “Gentleman” will have the same success as “Gangnam Style”, or if it will prove the global K-pop hit to be a one hit wonder.
Gu Ja-Hyoung, a Seoul music critic, said the singer would be abl to sustain his global appeal, having been on the South Korean music scene since 2001.
“He wasn't just some lucky guy who happened to win accidental stardom. It's just that the world belatedly got to know about him thanks to YouTube,” Gu told Agence France-Presse.
“It will be hard to match the kind of success achieved by 'Gangnam Style' but the new song will let the world know again that he remains the brilliant showman he always was and always will be,” he added.
