Justin Bieber's manager signed Psy, a Korean pop singer whose "Gangnam Style" has gone wildly viral on Youtube.

Psy has signed to Schoolboy Records, the "Gangnam Style" star announced Monday.

"We've been hanging out in California for four days," Bieber's manager Scooter Braun said in a new Youtube video with Psy.

"And we've come to an agreement to make some history together and be the first Korean artist to break a big record in the United States."

"To Psy, to Korea, to breaking down barriers, to the future. Let's do it man," Braun said, as he and Psy took shots of Soju, Korean alcohol.

In August, Psy was reportedly on his way to the U.S. to “explore collaboration opportunities” with Justin Bieber, according to ChannelNewsAsia.
Speculations mounted that Bieber might work with Psy for a U.S. adaptation of "Gangnam Style."

Psy denied the possibility, telling The Wall Street Journal,
“No, that’s not true. But it is true that I am going to meet with Scooter Braun, who produced Justin Bieber…It will just be a casual meeting.”

But who knows? Braun may one day bring the two together to create a whole new level of global phenomenon.

Psy's "Gangnam Style" on Youtube has exceeded 100 million views since its release on July 15, with its fame snowballing like never before.

In the clip, Psy plays a pathetic man daydreaming about his ideal girlfriend, who knows how to present herself properly in the day, and also how to have fun at night. The funky horse riding dance is seen in all kinds of venues you can imagine in everyday life – from playground to subway, from the top of the skyscraper to a boat on a river.

The "Grade B" humor has become a global sensation and inspired reaction videos as well as parodies.

"I was trying to go with the current trend in the music industry. I wanted to make people laugh more. I thought, right now, people want to laugh more. I prepared this hoping to portray the most pathetic of pathetic with this music video," Psy, also known as Park Jae-Sang, said.

Watch "Gangnam Style" by Psy

In case you are interested, a translation to the song has been provided by an editor of The Los Angeles Times:
"A lady who is warm like daylight, who knows how to enjoy a cup of coffee with ease, whose heart gets hotter as night gets near, a lady who has unexpected character.
I am a man who gets hot in the daytime like you! I am a man who can have one shot of coffee before cooling it down, a man with a heart that explodes at night, I am that kind of man. I am (big brother), Oppa Gangnam Style!!!
A lady who looks conservative, but knows when to play hard, a lady who knows when to let her hair down, a lady who seems fragile, but sexy at the same time.
I am a man's man, I may be conservative, yet I know when to have fun and play hard. A man who can go crazy when the time is right, a man who is bulging with social life instead of bulging with muscles. I am the man.
You are beautiful, lovable, yes, you."
