South Korean pop star PSY has topped the YouTube charts with his video "Gangam Style." He’s taken over Just Bieber’s record with more than 810 million views. The artist is a product of South Korea’s K-pop scene, a musical genre that’s a mix of dance, electropop, hip hop and rock. It’s also a growing subculture around the world and gaining popularity here in the U.S. Morning Shift host Tony Sarabia tells Worldview how the music got started and why it’s become such a global phenomenon.
