PSY revises Gangnam Style follow-up amid offence fears
South Korean pop star PSY has said he will change the title and lyrics of his potential follow-up to Gangnam Style amid fears it could offend Arabs.
The announced title of the song can be written as Assarabia or Assaravia in English – slang used by South Koreans to express thrills. It suggests no ethnicity or body part, but concerns have been raised that Arabs might misinterpret the title and find it derogatory.
