Singer Psy's mega-hit song 'Gangnam Style' music video has surpassed 6 billion views on YouTube.

The 'Gangnam Style' MV, which debuted on YouTube on July 15, 2012, crossed the 6th billion view mark on the afternoon of the 17th, more than 14 years after its release.

'Gangnam Style' added another 1 billion views in just over two years and seven months after surpassing 5 billion views on December 30, 2023, proving that it continues to firmly stand as a milestone in K-pop history.

'Gangnam Style' is the representative song that introduced the presence of K-pop to the world. It is evaluated as the starting point that sparked a K-pop craze around the globe when K-pop was virtually an uncharted territory in the pop market, achieving the first-ever 1 billion views in YouTube history in December 2012 and ranking second on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks.

The 6 billion view milestone of the 'Gangnam Style' MV is expected to be eternally etched as a symbolic record in K-pop history and an example demonstrating the enduring power of content that has been consistently loved across borders and generations.

Currently meeting fans through 'Psy Heumppukshow SUMMERSWAG2026 (Summerswag 2026)', Psy held an event on the 18th at his Gwacheon performance to commemorate the 6th billion view milestone of the 'Gangnam Style' MV and celebrated this historic achievement with fans who visited the venue.

Wearing a sky-blue jacket and black bow tie that he wore in the 'Gangnam Style' MV, Psy took the stage and told the audience, "I will upload a thank-you video for 6 billion views on YouTube," earning cheers from the fans.

Meanwhile, Psy's annual summer Jin Haeng-ha-neun (CEO) brand concert 'Psy Heumppukshow' kicked off on June 27 at Uiwang Comprehensive Sports Complex this year and has successfully concluded with performances in Daegu, Incheon, and Seoul National University Park on the 17th and 18th. The tour will continue through Wonju on the 25th, followed by Suwon, Gwangju, and Busan, concluding with shows in Daejeon on August 22nd and 23rd, spanning a total of nine cities and 14 performances.
