The music video remains one of the top ten most watched MVs of all time.
Previously, BTS rapper Suga, who also collaborated with PSY on his latest title track That That, spoke in an interview about how pivotal Gangnam Style was in paving the way for K-pop’s success in western arenas.
“He was always someone I was grateful for,” Suga said about PSY.
“With Gangnam Style, he paved the way for K-pop in the US so that we were able to follow his footsteps with ease," NME quoted Suga.
The smashing hit Gangnam Style was released on July 15,2012, and reached the 4.5 billion mark shortly after its ten year anniversary.
