Newsweek (I was wondering why Psy was described as “so foreign” in your post about Gangnam Style. Foreign means from a country or language other than one’s own, so to say that someone is “so foreign” does not entirely make sense. Whilst I appreciate that the culture in South Korea is very different to your own culture, I do not think that “so foreign” is the best way of phrasing this. Perhaps you could rephrase it?)
