UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he is jealous of Gangnam Style artist Psy, because he has stolen his crown as the world’s most famous South Korean.
The UN chief joked during a meeting with Psy that he felt overshadowed by the star, whose video has scored over 500 million views on YouTube.
The fellow countrymen then joined together in re-creating the world-wide phenomenon that is the Gangnam-style dance.
‘I'm a bit jealous. Until two days ago someone told me I am the most famous Korean in the world. Now I have to relinquish. I have no regrets,’ Ban said.
The two lavished praise on each other at UN headquarters Tuesday, with Ban even risking a few of Psy's trademark dance moves from the viral smash video Gangnam Style.
‘So now you have first and second famous Korean in the same building,’ Psy told reporters at a photo opportunity with the UN chief.
Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, also had nothing but praise for Ban Ki-moon, and what his position means to South Koreans.
