Psy to unveil new 'Psy Style' dance video at concert
SEOUL: "Gangnam Style" star Psy was set for a sell-out concert in Seoul on Saturday to unveil the all-important dance and video aimed at moulding his new single "Gentleman" into another global hit.

Ignoring soaring military tensions between South and North Korea, some 50,000 fans will pack the city's World Cup stadium for the event which will also be streamed live on YouTube.

The 35-year-old singer's long-awaited follow-up to "Gangnam Style" hit online stores Friday in a midnight rolling release across 119 nations.

In a move that surprised some industry experts and frustrated a lot of fans, it was released without the music video which had been the main focus of anticipation and speculation.

It was the video of "Gangnam Style", and in particular Psy's signature horse-riding dance, that pushed him to global stardom last year after it was posted on YouTube and turned into a viral sensation.

A satire on the luxury lifestyle of Seoul's upscale Gangnam district, it has become the most-watched YouTube video of all time, registering more than 1.5 billion views since it debuted last July.

The "Gentleman" music video was expected to be posted on YouTube around the same time as Psy unveils the song's dance moves at Saturday's concert.
