Leigh van den Broeke and Melissa Matheson, The
Daily Telegraph, report
Korean pop star Psy has delighted his
Australians fans with a performance on breakfast television after meeting Hugh
Jackman and checking out Wolverine's dance moves.
The global superstar who has taken the world by storm with his hit song Gangnam
Style, performed his signature horse-dancing moves during a performance on
Channel 7's Sunrise this morning.
Eager fans had waited all night so they could go Gangnam Style on
breakfast television this morning.
Sporting a $1000 pair of Christian Louboutin sneakers, the Korean
superstar arrived in Sydney yesterday as his music video fast approached 500
million views on YouTube.
The pop star last night had a fan moment all of his own when he and Hugh
Jackman- dressed as his most famous character Wolverine- kicked it Gangnam
Style.
The most dedicated fans of the YouTube sensation started arriving at
Sydney's Martin Place about 1am for the South Korean rapper's highly
anticipated performance on Sunrise.
With his "dress classy, dance cheesy" motto, Psy has given the
world the "crazy legs" side gallop and a none too subtle pelvic
thrust in an elevator - his favourite scene from the video.
And it didn't take much to persuade his fans into breaking out into the
now famous horse-riding dance.
But that famous move from Gangnam Style almost didn't happen -
K-pop singer Psy was considering panda and kangaroo moves instead.
He revealed that while workshopping "cheesy" dance moves with
his choreographer for Gangnam Style they had tried various animal moves
before going with the horse.
"To the world, this is really a new dance move but in Korea it's
like another Psy dance move... I do these cheesy dance moves all the
time," he said.
"I spent so many nights with my choreographer. We even tried, not
just horse but we were doing some panda and bear - everything, literally, and
we just got something.
"It's between feeling shame and feeling the same - when I do this
the very first time I feel a little shame, but if people feel the same then
they do the same moves from that time on."
Channel Seven constructed a custom made set about 15m long with lights
and barricades for the thousands who attended the outdoor concert.
One of the eager fans at Seven's studio , Daeun Lee, 19, moved to Manly
from South Korea seven months ago and is still coming to terms with her fellow
countryman's global success.
"We thought it was only going to be really popular in Korea,"
she said. "We didn't expect any of this."
"It's the first time a Korean singer is popular all around the
world, so we're very proud."
The ladies were also joined by Robert Goff, 20, from Fairfield who
wanted to get into the city as early as possible to find the best spot for
Psy's performance.
"I've been practising the dance for about a week now so it's going
to be great," he said.
He's not afraid of being a one hit wonder.
"If it is a one hit wonder it's fine because I didn't expect this
and I didn't put in any effort to be like this," Psy said.
"Honestly, before Gangnam Style I was not a responsible
person, I was just merely an artist so I hate the word responsibility.
"What I'm doing right now is the very first step for Korean pop
history, such as number one in Australia, it's the very first time for a Korean
singer.
"If I want or if not, I'm representing right now, so I've got to be
good."
