Psy signs with Island Records, gets invited to the MTV VMAs, gets wasted with Scooter Braun

Psy has officially inked with Island Records, and they will serve as his management company for worldwide promotions, barring Korea, of course, where he’s still with YG Entertainment. Plus, he’ll be at the MTV Video Music Awards (yes, the real one).

Psy’s representative revealed on September 4th, “Psy has signed on with Island Records for his management worldwide with the exception of Korea.”

Along with the news, it has also been announced that Psy will be attending the MTV VMA (Video Music Awards) coming up. The representative revealed, “Psy will be leaving Korea to stand on stage at the MTV VMA on the 6th, and will also be discussing future plans with Island Records during the trip.”

Also, there’s this video on his official channel where Scooter Braun and him say a bunch of shit, but the best part is imagining Psy getting shitfaced with him.

Part of me does wonder whether this would have ever happened if Psy was handsome. Despite his appearance, in Korea at least, he has quite the reputation as a playboy type, which I’m not convinced America would be so accepting of from an Asian male.

  1. “JUSTIN BIEBER’S MANAGER”

    Lol

    I would love for PSY to perform at the MTV VMA’s- invited to do so without any bribing

  2. I hope he performs in a mankini to remain relevant in the west.

  3. oh my fucking god… …. … … Now I have to watch the VMAs and I really really don’t want to.

  4. milkywhituskinned

    I’m so tired of this

  5. Good for him I hope he does well

  6. This is all like a huge middle finger pointed towards SNSD, WG, and all the other groups that flopped miserably in the US. Like saying “Haha bitches, I don’t have long legs and I give zero fucks, and I still made it! Y’all are pathetic that’s what!”

    • Yep. US don’t need perfect visuals and weird-ass (supposedly fashionable) clothes. Just come with your goofiness.

      • Lol- nor do we care if you’re the “legs” of the group or the cute/funny/shy/sexy etc one because we have those all but better herrrrre. we want something that ain’t replaceable

        Betch

  7. Good for Psy!

  8. Good for him I guess. He better make it worthwhile or everything’s out.

  9. And every sone just wet themselves ha.

  10. MTV still cares about videos?

    • I think the premium MTV channels do like MTV hits or whatever that actually shows MVs… but you gotta have good cable to watch that. (I’m surprised MTV still cared about music…)

    Seriously get that dildo out yo ass IATFB. When did looks every reallu count? Unless you’re a women in pop. No lie justin bieber is straight fug.

    I’m so happy for psy. Kpop needs this shit right now. A bitch slap.

  12. I just hope for Psy’s sake there is no forthcoming Justin Bieber/Psy “collaboration” of any sort.

  13. That was a pretty big shot, but it was only soju.

    If Psy was handsome, they would have already taken Justin out the back and executed him.

  14. I actually cannot wait for him to perform at the VMA’s (Is he going to perform at the VMA’s? :o)
    Think about it, Korean idols are good performers and foreigners who don’t know much about kpop will have a nice surprise.
    I’m wondering if he’ll go down Pitbull’s direction and do a few featurings.
    I also doubt he’ll receive much success after “Gangnam Style”.
    As TESTAMENTVM said, you need to show something new that America hasn’t seen before. He’s done that, but what else can he show afterwards?

    • Yeah that’s what I was wondering- if he were to do something new, what would that be, and would he even do something new or would this be it?

    • Lady GaGa is a Madonna rehash. You don’t always need something new just classic.

      • True. But the only difference is Gaga can carry a tune. Though she sounds “tired” lately. Prob from all the constant touring. Bitch needs to learn how to say “no dammit” and have several seats for a little bit.

        • She’s definitely talented and creative. However fans expect too much from her so she has to constantly work.
          If she took a break and made a comeback, it’ll probably slay.

      • Also her using the homosexuals. Lets be honest, she wouldn’t achieve the amount of success she has today without the help from the gays.

    • He’s been doing “Gangnam Style” type music forever now.

      Let’s be honest.

      :o

  15. I’m happy for Psy, but I wonder will he actually become popular or a one hit wonder?

    • Yeah I was wondering the same thing. This gangnam style thing is gonna end someday and then who knows what he’ll do.

      • Continue to be a superstar in Korea and drown in vagina.

        • I know you said he is known as a playboy, but he’s been married since 2006:

          http://forums.soompi.com/discussion/90134/psy-to-be-married-today

          Is he still known as a poon hound? If so, is that more acceptable in Korea than America? Just curious – I’m not familiar with Korea’s attitudes towards marital fidelity.

        • They all fuck prostitutes, yes.

        • Lol and the wives are ok with that?

        • No, but what are you going to do, really?

          :o

          In 2003, the Korean Institute of Criminology announced that 260,000 women, or 1 of 25 of young Korean women, may be engaged in the sex industry. However, the Korean Feminist Association alleged that from 514,000 to 1.2 million Korean women participate in the prostitution industry. In addition, a similar report by the Institute noted that 20% of men in their 20s pay for sex at least four times a month, with 358,000 visiting prostitutes daily.

          In a work culture where staying late is the norm, how would you know the difference if your place is at home?

    • In America? Probably a one-hit wonder. But his career will be fine elsewhere, obviously. I doubt he cares.

  16. Long time lurker, I created an account just to say BOOYAH. Go Psy, show the bitches how it’s done. Island Records or Island Def Jam? And does it really matter? I am happy for the dude.

  17. Comedic Genius of Epic Proportions. Thank you.
