Gangnam Style Singer Psy's 'Anti American' Controversy

gottman sal of course has been getting a lot of attention it's the most viewed video on youtube some naturally foxnews wants to jump on the side bandwagon but is that it's a good look at the south korean guy who's really successful he's doing really great then decided not grandecom anti-american and bring up a video that he did adeptly to go now the big one question features side basically sinking singing and anti-american military song and the reason why he did that is because are back in two thousand two june of two thousand to be specific american soldiers accidentally ran over to south korean girls fourteen-year-old schoolgirls as they were walking to birthday party now these soldiers were in the tank because they were doing some sort of training i don't really understand why they were pedestrians there uh... but unfortunately these to girls got run over and as a result they died now the two soldiers didn't get tried at they had charges uh... including negligent homicide however uh... under a court martial deal with their case was acquitted they work with it and so they never really face any type of consequence for it and as a result at that period in time side along with other members of south korea protested the decision uh... in court now a lot of people are questioning why he was so angry and it let's take a look at it and then we'll discuss are picking okay so this is a little snippet of it that basically uh... he calls for a slow and painful death or killing of u_s_ military members which i do agree goes way too far as you can see he's smashing the u_s_ tank um... and he's doing this in protest of what happened to those two fourteen-year-old girls now he has apologize for this uh... and as i mentioned it happened a decade ago but the reason why i'm kind of giving him a little bit of the past is because amounted to fourteen-year-old girls were murdered on our soil and of course people would be outraged by it especially if that they were trying to negligent homicide and and and there was no consequence for what happened i'm so i can understand his rage a lot of south koreans are upset over what happened on and uh... i'm gonna gifts i have moved in the past year uh... i think it's interesting there obviously letting us in this first off is actually person i watch the video the i'm impressed at how far is that musical styles balls and i'd seen proved since then the death metal doesn't really see the style i don't think unpaid idon't really agree with the initial lady friend this that that this fox sort of like making a story and i'm not let me say let me tell you why i'm saying that first of all this this story kind of broke this morning okay and of course a lot of different news outlets talked about it and how i'm you know people are critical of the video but of course and you have talks news that took the video and to be to another level so they feature eight picture of president obama shaking hands with side of course and it said something like anti-american rage or something like that you know there was some sort of banner it seem like first of all killed bobby ministration is being anti-american because it happened to shake sites and at some point in the in the past and also be totally gloss over the fact that there were soft reeds that religion in the lead angry over something that americans would also be angry about if that happened to us so that's what that's one thing and by the way just to be forestville clear so no one misrepresents what i'm trying to say so that's on where you calling for is slow and painful death of u_s_ military members i'm not for that at all that goes way too far but i can understand the anchor yet luggage if you know anything about the history this particular conflict in the fact of the vessel does there for so long is not an isolated incident happen sometime time that the civilians are killed both in south korea in in japan summer bases anatole innocent there's been extremely long-lasting and lingering problems with that uh... and i i i don't think that hates i necessarily it was a long time ago and i don't make me personally around the same time in the wake of of nine eleven this is just shortly after that i definitely expressed some political views that i would be ashamed of now i would imagine a person can develop quite a bit over almost a decade at the same time i'd be lying if i said that this didn't uh... make me look at them a little bit differently activity goes through the lyrics you talked about like talking about the death of the soldiers find your responding to try to talk about killing the soldiers families yet that goes too far as i was going to pass once a anya right i think that a lot of people are are focusing on the lyrics which are unacceptable i don't agree with the lyrics but also at that moment of time you come from a place of anger and i think that it's a little unfair to keep people as black ribbon or white you know what i mean in this case racquetball monday uh... fear the worst uh... but you know what i'm saying you know it you're taking the money if you took me and my angriest moment and you judge me based on the things that i said in my entry small made you would think that i mean hideous human being that's true in a look at it from what i've read he didn't even right some other per perot data for all we know at this time he was desperately trying to get on the stage of any group because i don't know the the content of his his career uh... but i i don't really like we said that the same time the doesn't change the fact that you through an incredibly catchy song it happens to be one of the best videos ever produced those things remain true will continue to appreciate it if i don't watch it necessarily as much as i used to but i think it's interesting story because so it's really representative of the fact that mainstream america is now discovering k populace covering the fact that this exists in the world even if we weren't seeing it up until this point on often if you're not like fifteen sixteen and uh... and they're something uh... but that it exists in so it's only natural that we would want to learn more about the ambassador of the sort of music to us and so i certainly don't think it's illegitimate to talk about this the lyrics are pretty incendiary yet on but i think that you just have to put in context of other things you know about him and understand that was a long time ago
