In my music I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. While it’s important we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. “I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months - including an appearance on the ‘Jay Leno’ show specifically for them - and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology. “The song in question - from eight years ago - was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two innocent Korean civilians that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time.” “As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world,” PSY’s statement says. He explained his actions were “part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq.” PSY, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, in a 2004 performance rapped the lyrics “F-ing Yankees,” and said American families should be killed “slowly and painfully,” MTV reports.
