On May 9th, a 4-part documentary series called "K-Everything" will be released.
The program is hosted by Daniel Dae Kim, exploring how Korean culture has become one of the most influential entertainment forces globally through music, television, cuisine, beauty and fandom culture.
PSY appears in an episode focused on Kpop, where he talks about the development of this industry, as well as the unprecedented global explosion that "Gangnam Style" created.
In the introduction announced before the broadcast date, images from PSY's famous Summer Swag summer concert series are interspersed with an emotional interview.
When Daniel Dae Kim asked how long he had enjoyed the success of "Gangnam Style", PSY replied frankly: "As a singer, it lasts forever. But as a music creator, it is both a dream and a nightmare.
He continued to reveal the creative pressure he faced afterwards: "I keep asking myself how I can create something better than this song.
Released in 2012, "Gangnam Style" became one of the most powerful spreading phenomena in the history of the internet and music.
“Gangnam Style” has stayed on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for 31 weeks. Up to that time, "Gangnam Style" was also the Kpop song with the highest ranking in Billboard Hot 100 history - number 2.
The song turned PSY into a global superstar and helped many international audiences learn about Kpop for the first time.
The MV of "Gangnam Style" is famous for becoming the first video in YouTube history to surpass the 1 billion views mark, paving the way for the global expansion of Korean pop culture in the following years.
The documentary series will also analyze how Kpop developed from a regional music genre into a global industry thanks to the power of fandoms and social networks.
Previously, PSY was suspected of being prescribed sleeping pills remotely and receiving them through others. In December last year, police searched his management company's office and personal car, and conducted a forensic examination of data on his mobile phone.
PSY's management company P NATION has admitted that employees received the drug instead, calling it a "mistake and carelessness", but denied prescribing under someone else's name or abusing the drug.
They said PSY suffered from chronic sleep disorder and took medication as prescribed by a doctor.
