On the July 1st episode of 'Hidden Singer', Psy relayed some stories related to the birth of his mega-hit song "Gangname Style". Most surprisingly, though, he revealed that he almost did not upload the music video on YouTube.

"I didn't even know what YouTube was back then," began Psy. "Some friends of mine told me to upload the MV, but I said that it would be a humiliation if the views were too low, since I didn't have any international fans. So, I told them 'Let's not upload this'."

"But, because of my friends, we still decided to share it, just for fun. After about a month or so, those amazing things started to happen." Psy said that it was difficult to regard those circumstances as reality; he stated that "it all felt like a hidden camera prank."

In addition, Psy expressed his gratitude once more for all the love he received from around the world. On this week's episode, he was also able to meet many other individuals who could mimic him. Check out the clips below!
