Psy ‘Forever Sorry’ for Anti-American Song
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | December 8, 2012 14:13
Psy, the South Korean rapper famous for ” Gangnam Style,” apologized today for a 2004 performance in which he said American soldiers should be killed “slowly and painfully.”
The apology comes two days before he is scheduled to perform at a holiday concert that will be attended by President Obama and his family.
Psy said today that he will “forever be sorry for any pain I have caused” by what he sang at a Seoul concert that took place during the Iraq war.
The concert was held on the heels of the decapitation of a Korean missionary by Islamic militants in Iraq, which fueled anti-U.S. military sentiment in South Korea. In 2002, an American military vehicle struck and killed two 13-year-old Korean girls. The soldiers involved in the incident were later acquitted of negligent homicide.
Here’s the apology Psy released through his publicist, in full:
“As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world.”
