Psy was already a veteran of the South Korean music scene when "Gangnam Style" hit in 2012, naming his satire after the wealthy Seoul district where he was born. The song and its horse-riding dance became the first video to reach a billion views on YouTube, carrying K-pop to audiences who had never heard the term before. He'd built his career at home on hip-hop with a comic, outsider streak, and that mix of humour and craft carried over once the world started paying attention.

칠집싸이다 (2015). It's the first album he made after the world learned his name, and it shows he was more than one song. "Gangnam Style" isn't here, but "Daddy" with CL and "Napal Baji" carry the same satirical hip-hop energy.
