Seoul insists Psy to play at NoKor

SEOUL (AFP) — South Korea is pushing for “Gangnam Style” star Psy to perform in next week’s historic concerts by South Korean artists in the North’s capital, multiple reports said.

A team of at least nine South Korean pop acts are set to visit North Korea next week for two concerts in Pyongyang, the first of their kind for more than a decade.

The shows — part of reconciliatory moves ahead of a planned inter-Korean summit in April — feature many top stars, including K-pop girlband Red Velvet.

But Seoul is also seeking to include Psy in the lineup, South Korean media reports said, citing sources in the government and the K-pop industry.
