CONCERT Psy Saturday, March 17th, 8:00pm The Nokia Theatre 1515 Broadway at West 44th Street New York City $80 - $100 www.jletm.com Psy, the Korean K-pop dance singer, will be performing for the first time on Saturday, March 17th at the New York City Nokia Theater. According to the Konglish website, JL Entertainment claims: "With the records established by "Crazy Audience", "All Night Stand", and "Summer Stand" of 2006 under his belt, Psy, the most energetic performer in the Republic of Korea, is in essence attempting to create a "Korean Wave" of his own through the upcoming New York City and Los Angeles concerts. It¡¯s not just his fan base and avid super-fans who attend Psy's concerts, which ranked first in last year's audience poll as the best in concert performance, and first in audience reviews. This is why audiences receive pure enjoyment from his concerts, and the responses are all the more fervent. Targeting the teens, twenty-and thirty-somethings, as well as audiences in their forties, Psy created the 'standing' concert, and his audiences responded happily and crazily. In his concerts in 2006, Psy re-invented his audience and turned them into the famed 'crazy audience'. His audiences don¡¯t just look on, they turn it on-indeed, they go crazy. Thanks to the wild excitement of his concerts, Psy's performance was voted number one in the "Best Concert of the Year" category in a poll conducted by an internet ticket seller at the end of 2006." So what are you waiting for? Super-fans unite! Receive pure enjoyment both happily and crazily! Somebody needs to fire their PR company.
