Psy had the crowd shrieking with water-shower show
SEOUL: Some 25,000 fans stomped and cheered at K-pop star Psy’s signature summer concert, “Swag Show”, Friday night.
The crowd shrieked with excitement and hilarity as buckets of cold water splashed onto the house, soaking them.
“The weather is too nice,” Psy screamed out as he appeared onstage for the first leg of his three-day Seoul show at Jamsil Sports Complex amid the continuing hot spell in Seoul and across the country.
Psy opened the show with a medley of his hit songs, including “Right Now”, “Champion”, “Bird” and “What Would Have Been”.
A group of surprise guest singers -- Tiger JK and Yoon Mi-rae, as well as rapper Bizzy - - whipped up excitement with hip hop tunes.
Psy returned with another medley of “I Luv It”, “Gentleman”, “Daddy” and other famous melodies before ballad singer Seong Si-kyung wove a streak of mellowness with a series of his own hit songs.
The sensational global hit song “Gangnam Style” propelled the spectators into roaring, dancing and yelling near the end of the three-hour show. Fireworks burst in the air.
The show drew fans from a wide range of generations, spanning from teenagers to a senior couple in their 70s. Former United States Ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert was spotted in attendance.
The summer show kicked off in Busan on July 21.
