Title: Gangnam Style
Post by: Anonymous on October 17, 2012, 11:14:55 AM
It has gone viral.
Gangnam Style" is a Korean neologism mainly associated with upscale fashion and lavish lifestyle associated with trendsetters in Seoul's Gangnam district (??), which is considered the most affluent part of the metropolitan area. In colloquial usage, it is comparable to the English slang terms "swag" or "yolo".

Psy bears a slight resemblance to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
SEOUL, South Korea - As "Gangnam Style" gallops toward 1 billion views on YouTube, the first Asian pop artist to capture a massive global audience has gotten richer click by click. So too has his agent and his grandmother. But the money from music sales isn't flowing in from the rapper's homeland South Korea or elsewhere in Asia.
With one song, 34-year-old Park Jae-sang — better known as PSY — is set to become a millionaire from YouTube ads and iTunes downloads, underlining a shift in how money is being made in the music business. An even bigger dollop of cash will come from TV commercials.
From just those sources, PSY and his camp will rake in at least $7.9 million this year, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of publicly available information and industry estimates. But for online music sales in South Korea, he'll earn less than $60,000.
Here's how it works.
YOUTUBE
"Gangnam Style" with its catchy tune and much imitated horse-riding dance is the most-watched video on YouTube ever.
The viral video has clocked more than 880 million YouTube views since its July release, beating Justin Bieber's "Baby," which racked up more than 808 million views since February 2010. PSY's official channel on YouTube, which curates his songs and videos of his concerts, has nearly 1.3 billion views.
TubeMogul, a video ad buying platform, estimates that PSY and his agent YG Entertainment have raked in about $870,000 as their share of the revenue from ads that appear with YouTube videos. The Google Inc.-owned video service keeps approximately half.
PSY and YG Entertainment also earn money from views of videos that parody his songs.
Google detects videos that use copyrighted content. Artists can have the video removed or allow it to stay online and share ad revenue with YouTube. In the last week of September when "Gangnam Style" had around 300 million views, more than 33,000 videos were identified by the content identification system as using "Gangnam Style."
But since YouTube can be accessed from all over the world, wouldn't Asia be responsible for a significant chunk of the $870,000? The countries with the second and third-highest views of the video are Thailand and South Korea.
"Ads rates vary depending on which country the video is played. Developed countries have higher ad rates and developing countries lower," said Brian Suh, head of YouTube Partnership in Seoul.
And the country with the most views of "Gangnam Style?" The United States.
LEGAL DOWNLOADS, CDs
"Gangnam Style" has been downloaded 2.7 million times in the U.S. and has been the No. 1 or No. 2 seller for most weeks since its debut, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The song sells for $1.29 on Apple's iTunes Store, the market leader in song downloads. Apple generally keeps about 30 per cent of all sales, so the PSY camp could be due more than $2.4 million.
How much PSY keeps and how much goes to his managers, staff and record label is unclear. South Korean industry insiders said PSY likely gets 70 per cent and YG Entertainment 30 per cent for U.S. downloads.
But earnings from downloads in PSY's homeland are far from an embarrassment of riches.
South Koreans pay less than $10 a month for a subscription to a music service that allows them to download hundreds of songs or have unlimited access to a music streaming service. That makes the cost of a downloaded song about 10 cents on average. The average price for streaming a song is 0.2 cent.
PSY's cut for downloads is 14 per cent. That falls to 7.5 per cent for streamed songs. Yes, 7.5 per cent of 0.2 cent. And that's before PSY's "Gangnam Style" co-composer take his share. The biggest cut goes to his agent and online retailers.
According to South Korea's national Gaon Chart, "Gangnam Style" was downloaded more than 3.6 million times and streamed around 40 million times as of November. That adds up to a little more than $61,000.
It's likely the fast fading music CD industry generated even smaller revenue. PSY's 9 per cent cut from sales of 102,000 CDs in South Korea would earn him $50,000 or more, according to an estimate by Kim Dong-hyun, a senior manager at Korea Music Copyright Association.
As for many other parts of Asia, illegal downloads and pirated CDS are so pervasive that only a small minority are willing to pay up for the legal versions.
TV COMMERCIALS
PSY has been jetting around the world, performing on shows such as "The X-Factor Australia" and NBC's "Today Show," but such programs usually cover travel costs and not much else, said Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of concert trade magazine Pollstar.
It is television commercials that are the big money spinner for the most successful of South Korea's K-pop stars. PSY has been popping up in TV commercials in South Korea for top brands such as Samsung Electronics and mobile carrier LG Uplus.
Chung Yu-seok, an analyst at Kyobo Securities, estimates PSY's commercial deals would amount to 5 billion won ($4.6 million) this year.
The money is cool. The products not so much. PSY is now the face of a new Samsung refrigerator and a major noodle company.
THE FAMILY
A fact little known outside South Korea is that PSY's father, uncle and grandmother own a combined 30 per cent of DI Corp., a company which makes equipment that semiconductor companies use to make computer chips.
It's a stretch to plausibly explain how the success of "Gangnam Style" will boost DI's profits but that doesn't matter to the South Korean stock market. Perhaps inspired by the pure power of pop, DI shares surged eightfold from July after PSY's hit reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart.
It was time to cash in for PSY's grandmother, who sold 5,378 shares for about $65,000.
The share price has fallen since then but is still about double what it was before the release of "Gangnam Style."
PSY's agent YG Entertainment has also done well. Its share price is up about 30 per cent since mid-July. The value of CEO Yang Hyun-suk's stake has swelled to about $200 million, making him the richest man in South Korea's entertainment industry.
THE FUTURE
The question now hanging over PSY is whether he will replicate the blockbuster success of "Gangnam Style" or end up remembered as a one-hit wonder.
"When this slows down, what comes next for PSY?" said Nielsen analytics vice-president David Bakula. "Is it the evolution of a new musical style, something audiences are going to be craving en masse, or is it something that's just a passing fancy?"
Analysts say "Gangnam Style" alone will not be enough to propel PSY into the ranks of musicians such as Adele and may not even be enough to make him the top-grossing K-pop star. That will depend largely on his upcoming album, which PSY said will be released in March.

More proof racist YT does not like Psy or his song.
Notice that most of the haters spewing racist remarks are female.
Notice that even though they stress that how Psy shouldn't be on there because he's not American, these are the same type of people who had no problem with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Carly Jae Repsen, Justin Bieber, and One Direction who are all NOT American. They also wouldn't have a problem with a Russian guy singing a Trololol song.
Also notice that some of the most hateful and racist remarks that have been recently made across the internet have been done by white women. Remember the UCLA blonde who referred to asian students as "hordes"?
How is it that we don't see this same type of venom being spewed from a comparable number of asian women about white men?
Asian men don't suppress women, especially white women. The phrase "Get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich, bitch" was coined by white men, not asian men. Asian men are more loyal to their girlfriend or spouse. It's even been shown that asian men are loyal to women (asian women) that they don't even know or will never get together with. The same can't be said for white men. Most pedophiles are white men. Asian men don't stalk and rape white women as white men do with asian women. Asian men have elected asian women to be presidents in asian countries. When was the last time you saw white men elect a female president? Never.
Yet somehow a lot of white women are hating on asian men.
The media has done its job.

The media has done its job. East Asian countries have never had a female leader..
SE Asian countries have, but not China, Korea, Japan or Taiwan.
Many Western countries including Canada have had women leaders.
There have been white women raped and killed in Japan and Korea.
There are pedophiles in East Asia and most of them are not white.
I don't know where you are getting your information from, but it's inaccurate.

Notice how it was Americans that voted PSY . Do you think that Asians would vote for a white person in an Asian contest ?
Look at these comical comments by a Canadiscam. These conniving sneaks know that they can onluy puill their crap on us as long as we don't understand them. Once you understand them their BS falls apart for example.... He states that it is white people that are pedophiles. He knows that once a girl is over 15 years old orientals see her as over the hill. If you read the book Sex Slaves written by a female American psychologist as she covers country by country that sure as you get the odd fat American,German etc... pedophile in Asia the gigantic pedophile market is for the hidden Asian market.
Asian men men are more loyal to their spouse ? :lol: He must be counting on all white people to either be too morally superior to even believe the things that go on in Asia and/or that white people are all as cluleless as Romero. I am sure that all you white guys on this forum are constantly saying to your GF's "GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN AND MAKE ME A SAMMICH BITCH !"
Thanks for the comedy Ameriscam :lol:

Send a letter 'Gangnam Style' – Psy stamps go on sale in South Korea
The commemorative stamps will be on sale in 22 post offices in Seoul
Depicting the moves involved in the 'horse-riding' dance, the stamps will be on sale from February 18 at 22 post offices in the South Korean capitol, Seoul. 'Gangnam Style' takes its name from the Gangnam district of Seoul. Psy's management agency, YG Entertainment, said in a statement: "The release of the stamps is to commemorate the global success of 'Gangnam Style' and the 13billion views that the 'Gangnam Style' music video had obtained on YouTube. Compared to normal stamps, the 'Gangnam Style' stamp has PSY's unique flavour stamped all over it."
The stamps come on a card backed with Psy's signature and a QR code directing the purchaser to the 'Gangnam Style' video, should there be anyone alive who hasn't seen enough of it yet.
http://www.nme.com/news/various-artists/68715 This is the Ffrst time I have heard of a one-hit-wonder artist getting a commemorative stamp.
