Fresh from conquering YouTube by surpassing two billion views with his mega-hit "Gangnam
Style," handlers for Psy say the release of a follow-up video is just a week away, according
to a report on Saturday. The Wall Street Journal said the music star's next song - a collaboration
with rapper Snoop Dogg - will get its worldwide release during a June 8 live broadcast of
America's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" late-night talk show. The new song - "Hangover" - will
be "completely different," displaying Psy's hip-hop side, his handlers told the newspaper.
The South Korean pop phenomenon galloped into the record books Saturday when his "Gangnam
Style" mega hit smashed through the two-billion views mark on YouTube. It was a first at YouTube,
where "Baby" by Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber in February became the only other video
in the billion-view club. "Gangnam Style" turned into a global sensation and fuelled
a South Korean "K-Pop" trend after it was uploaded to YouTube in July 2012.
