1. [+293, -57] He's amazing and I support him but I don't want him running around American TV shows saying 'Korea Hoorah'... It might rub off the wrong way to some people and make them have a negative impression of his intentions. Imagine if a foreign artist guested in one of our TV shows and said 'OOO hoorah'... It'd be so random and out of place. I truly wish the best for Psy but I don't think he should emphasize things like this so much.
2. [+127, -16] Imagine how crazy it would be if American pop singers or bands came to Korea and said things like 'America hoorah' on our TV shows and then American journalists praised them for saying that in their media? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Not only would it not even fly as acceptable in America, I bet Americans would flame those journalists for being stupid. I can't even imagine any of the Hong Kong singers guesting on Korean TV and randomly shouting 'Hong Kong Hoorah' in the middle of their performance ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+109, -20] Everything was great until the random shout out to Korea ㅡㅡ;; Not that I hate Korea but it was just... unnecessary.
4. [+111, -25] I really wish the best for Psy
5. [+129, -55] So damn random, what the hell was the 'Korea hoorah' about? I only see it as him trying to create a better image for himself, honestly
6. [+108, -38] The first time he did it at the awards ceremony, we could pass it off as aegyo... but why does he keep doing this in his performances? We all know he's doing great things for Korea so stop, it's embarrassing.
7. [+37, -11] Why are our country's artists always giving shout outs to Korea in other countries??? Imagine if foreign artists came to our country and said these things, would that make you feel good??
