David Bevan of ‘SPIN’ has talked about popularity of K-Pop and ‘Live After PSY‘.
In the article, David Bevan wrote about phenomenon of PSY, his long career in Korea and compared him to other YG Entertainment’s artists. He wrote: ‘He’s both the all-time YouTube king and a pop-culture comet whose success has upended nearly a decade of market research at home.’
