New Delhi, April 18, 2013 -South Korean rapper Psy’s new video,Gentleman has crossed the 100 million views mark on YouTube.
The video for Gentleman has received 117.5 million hits, topping 100 million in record time since it was posted on Saturday.
The previous record was set by the video of Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle singing I Dreamed A Dream in the TV show, which received 100 million hits in just over a week in 2009.
Gangnam Style, which holds the YouTube record for most views ever with more than 1.5 billion, made the corpulent Korean a global star and one of the best-known faces to come out of the growing K-pop music scene.
“He is good. I love his energy,” one woman commented on YouTube. Others said the video was hilarious and the sunglass-wearing 35-year-old’s dancing “smooth.”
Some were less complimentary, with a few saying the video was arrogant and “too sexual”. It shows Psy playing tricks on women such as splashing coffee in their faces and untying a bikini top.
“Meh. Gangnam Style was better,” one woman wrote.
