Justin Bieber Reaches Out to PSY

It was reported today that Justin Bieber reached out to PSY, following the immense popularity of the “Gangnam Style” music video.

“We haven’t discussed anything serious yet. But it is true that Justin Bieber’s representative first contacted us,” PSY’s representative told local media.

It’s hard to guess what really prompted Bieber’s staff to contact PSY at this point. But local media is interpreting the move as a possible joint single or future collaboration in the making. PSY’s “Gangnam Style” music video unexpectedly went viral last week and has been one of the most watched online videos in the U.S.

In particular, top celebrities such as T-Pain, Robbie Williams, and Josh Groban mentioned the video on Twitter, while Gawker, the Huffington Post, and CNN provided coverage of the MV.

Also, due to the sudden global recognition, PSY will keep the “Gangnam Style” title for his Japanese single, which was initially planned to change to “Rokbonki Style” in order to suit the local taste.
