Article: Psy, the best apology to keep the respect of both Korea and America
Source: Mediaus via Nate
1. [+423, -32] The Korean media is reporting as if Americans accepted Psy's apology and that they think it wasn't anything to apologize over, but the reality of the situation can be seen in the replies on Yahoo news. Replies with over 2,000 votes are all asking why he's only apologizing now and how he's giving a heartless apology just to make more money in America. The sentiment on him is gravely negative, so why isn't our country's media reporting the truth? I'm not trying to defend America, I'm just saying don't distort the truth.
2. [+265, -157] It doesn't matter who started spreading the song around. The fact that a song like that exists means that it was bound to come out sooner or later. Stop trying to hunt down the community that spread it and turning them into traitors that took down 'national hero' Psy.
3. [+90, -20] What's funny to me is people are forgetting what happened to Jay Park and how he was completely ousted from the media. How angry were we? Although the misunderstandings have been cleared now, it's easy to understand America's point of view when we put ourselves in their shoes through the Jay Park scandal
4. [+65, -13] What a bullsh*t article ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Psy's getting fu*ked in America right now, don't lie ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+57, -12] There are no secrets in this world. He's getting returned what he did in the past like a boomerang. Whatever the results are, I think it's important what he does from here on out and how he takes responsibility for it.

lol the comments on yahoo news are not a legit source for american sentiment
ReplyDelete...maybe not but americans are still angry and the people who hated Psy will use his current 'scandal' to create even more hate :(
ReplyDelete"What's funny to me is people are forgetting what happened to Jay Park
ReplyDeleteand how he was completely ousted from the media. How angry were we?
Although the misunderstandings have been cleared now, it's easy to

True...
"What's funny to me is people are forgetting what happened to Jay Park and how he was completely ousted from the media. How angry were we?

I'm glad there are people out there who can reflect on this and realize how harshly and unfairly he has been marginalized.
ReplyDeleteLol. Yahoo.
ReplyDeleteAw, Korean media, you tried.
ReplyDeleteof yourse YG has OSEN AND OTHERS under it.YG using all it can....TO STOP.....LIKE..THUS BIG SHOT COMPANIES CAN REALLY BUY THE MEDIA...NO WONDER NOTHING COMES OUT OF SM,YG OR JPY.......
ReplyDelete"There are no secrets in this world. He's getting returned what he did in

" It doesn't matter who started spreading the song around. The fact that a

Agree.. it's part of PSY's past after all
It's a step up from MTV lol.
ReplyDeleteno it's really not. yahoo comments are on the same level as youtube comments only more racist.
ReplyDeleteYahoo can be a mess but it depends on the context, really. I've seen some rational people over there. Youtube comments are incomprehensible most of the time; I find them to be worse. No sole source can cover American sentiment but I'd turn to Yahoo before I ever go to MTV.
ReplyDeletehow can you compare jay park's dumb teenager comment to this...
ReplyDeleteCome on you can't out smart korean detectives. lol
ReplyDeleteyou can look at the comments from every article and they are pretty negative. even a search on twitter will bring up a lot of negative results. Overall it is not a positive response like korea is making it seem
ReplyDeleteThere are actually about 10,000 comments on that article now. I think it is. haha
ReplyDeleteI am glad even Koreans Netizens could understand why Americans are angry.
ReplyDeleteBut actually.. I think it's a good move not to apologize for the song but for his language.. I mean.. if that's what he's thinking, well then.. his opinion.. I mean, it's not like he's going to do that anyways..
ReplyDeleteagree agree agree agree SO MUCH AGREE
ReplyDeleteFUCK ALL HOTTEST. EXO 4 LIFE
ReplyDeletePffttt. I don't see no hottest here.
DeleteShut up baby
ReplyDeleteI think thats exactly the point people are trying to point is that Jay wrote something as a teenager out of frustration and he was kicked out of the country and their were death petitions for him and crap and yet look what Korea did but Psy as an adult totally went batshit on the American Army for two american soilders who did something wrong and people are not as accepting of his apology bc hes clearly trying to apologize and get it over with it as fast as possible but with Scooter Braun I think he can get by after all the stupid shit Beibs did yet he is still popular.
ReplyDeleteI wonder is OSEN has written an article on this yet....
wth why are Americans even mad? didn't they know the whole world hated them back in 2004?
ReplyDeleteyou can;t make death threats in america. You can get taken to jail for it
ReplyDeleteIts not about hate. Its about the guy saying that he wants to kill not just the soldiers but their families and everything, and then he apologizes for the words and not the song yet still wants to make money here. I'm a British citizen in America and even I'm so angry about the fact that he didn't apologize for singing the song and just for his wordage. With his mentaility, he thinks it okay if Americans kill all the Koreans because of the Virginia tech shooter and North Korea did?
ReplyDeleteso untrue. its just like the comments we see on netizen buzz that are translated. a lot of people here dont like the comments that come from k-netizens... 2 or 3 top comments does not justify how the whole country feels. most people don't even give a fuck.
ReplyDeleteits like youtube comments. they consist of keyboard warriors with miserable lives
If he feels so he needs to remove himself from our country and media
ReplyDeleteI'm an Australian, and we're kind of known for taking things seriously like 5% of the time, but I still think I can put my ten cents in, right?;;
ReplyDeleteInsulting and generalising the entire American army is pretty low of PSY. As an Australia, I do respect the American servicemen and women. However, one must also consider not only Korea's national psyche, but the international stage. American wasn't really anyone's favourite kid back in 2004. Their military presence in South Korea was being questioned, and the non-conviction of the two soldiers seemed to prove popular opinion that America shouldn't interfere in Korean issues. PSY has a right to freedom of speech: as a Korean, living in Korea, working in the Korean entertainment industry. As someone looking to enter the American market, however, PSY needs to apologise not only for the language, but for the subject matter of his song. If PSY still has the same feelings, he should not expect a positive reception from most of the American market. It's simple business, really. Anyway, those are just my thoughts.
I'm willing to bet that at least 40% of those comments are of people arguing with each other going off-tangent about something only vaguely related to Psy.
ReplyDeletePeople will go from Point A to Point Z in a matter of seconds if the trigger is right. In this case: nationalism, patriotism, anti-Americanism, anti-Bush sentiments, etc. etc.
It's all so predictable these days...
Why should he remove himself? Economically speaking.. that wouldn't make sense at all. If there are people who want to listen to his songs, why not? There are always people criticizing... And I think it's good that way.. You don't need to agree but at least you need to accept someones opinion. I didn't read the lyrics myself so I can't say if it's 'too much' or not but well.. Then again, I don't really care about the political views of singers... As long as they don't incite people to do something against law..
ReplyDeleteWhere's that manymanycutesy faggot who is always ready to fap to these Amerricun content ha? I would love to see his retarded idiocy to be displayed publicly. Come on.
ReplyDeleteYes, well... It's not like Psy actually went out and committed violent acts against Americans. He's not a terrorist, he just made a song expressing his anger towards America and our really fucked up justice system.
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started on Casey Anthony. More and more of these cases of guilty people getting off scott-free... The fuck...
he feels like to have those american soldiers' family killed? that's horrible. if he disliked americans, yet still want their money, well... be prepared.

I LOVE THESE 3 COMMENTS SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
Exactly but we didn't condemn a whole country because of one crazy korean student. I think some people miss the point. I agree with you.
