Cho Yong-pil, a popular South Korean singer whose been making electronic pop since the 1970s, hit No. 1 on the charts this week with “Bounce,” reported Reuters.
“Gentleman,” however, has remained No. 5 the Billboard Top 100 in the United States.
Psy said he has a lot of respect for Cho.
“I couldn’t be happier, although getting on the Billboard chart also makes me really grateful,” Psy said Thursday.
