K-pop star Psy stopped by
Rolling Stone headquarters this week to chat about
"Gangnam Style," his unexpected success and his famous sunglasses. As he revealed, his breakout single was never intended for an international audience; Psy uploaded it to YouTube for the site's huge Korean pop fanbase. "I was not important, I was not famous," he says of that moment. "Some celebrities like Katy Perry and Britney Spears, they started to tweet my video... CNN and ABC reported about me at the same time, and
the LA Times,
the New York Times,
Wall Street Journal – that all happened at the same time in the same week. I don't know why."
From there, the song and his style were a sensation. "I can't take off [my] sunglasses right now," he says with a laugh. In fact, the shades are such a signature part of Psy's look, he was even recognized by Jon Bon Jovi in Las Vegas. "He said, 'Hey, let's take a picture.' We took a picture, and he uploaded the picture to his Facebook and he said, 'Guys, look who I'm with right now.' So I was like, 'Wow, that's Bon Jovi, and he recognized me, and he asked me to take a picture. Wow. I've loved him since 'You Give Love a Bad Name.'"
Though he's quite goofy and humble now, Psy admits he wasn't always that way, often skipping class as a student at Berklee College of Music. "Class was too early, so I didn't go there," he says. "I was too young and what I thought was I could not learn any [creativity] from others." Playing hooky can really pay off.
<기사 간략>
유명인들이 자기 비디오 트위하기 시작하고 각종 언론사들에서 기사화되기 시작했는데 그런 일련의 일들이 일주일사이에 다 일어났다.
팬이었던 본조비가 라스베가스에서 자기를 먼저 알아보고 둘이 찍은 사진을 본조비 페이스북에 올려놓았다.
버클리음대 수업 안나간 얘기-수업이 너무 빠르고 그때는 창작은 남에게 배울수 없다고 생각했다.
기사에서는 싸이에 대해 구피(우스꽝스러운? 재밌는?) 하고 겸손하다고 함.
기사에는 안나오고 비디오에는 본인 작곡에 대한 이야기도 함.
학교 안가서 한가지 후회되는 점은 하모니나 이론에 대해 잘 모르기에 강남스타일처럼 코드체인지가 없는
노래는 괜찮은데 느린 곡이나 코드체인지가 많은 노래는 힘들다고 함. 단 자기는 귀가 굉장히 좋은 편이라서
한번 음을 누르면 쉽게 작곡이 되는 편이라고함.
본인에게 작곡은 컴퓨터 게임이나 퍼즐같은 거라함.
