Behind-the-Scene story of Gangnam Style by Psy

This year's most influential song has to be "Gangnam Style" (강남스타일) by Psy. You don't know about the song? IMPOSSIBLE, you are reading this post.Gangnam Style is a title song of Psy's 6th album and if you look at other songs included in that album, you will notice there are other artists featuring each songs.

Psy recently came onto the show called "Infinity Challenge" and said his 6th album was supposed to be collaboration special and have many artists feautring in each song. Other artists include Lena Park, Sung Shi Kyung, Lessang, etc. However Gangnam Style do not have that, why?

Psy wanted Yoo Jae Suk, famous MC in Korea and the guy in yellow suit in the MV, to be the featuring artist. However he was working on another project with Lee Juk. The MV of that project is below.



No doubt, this song got attention in the Korean fan, but it wasn't big. Psy even called up Lee Juk to delay his project so MC Yoo could feature his song, but MC Yoo went with his premade arrangements, not because he favour Lee Juk, but because it was promised before Psy approached him.

Now they say it is a destiny of how it turned out. Who knows what would have happened if MC Yoo was the featuring artist of that song. would he be at the position he is today?
