South Korean pop sensation Psy admitted that he was staggered by his new-found global fame as he brought his world-famous signature horse dance to his home grand prix on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 34-year-old, whose real name is Park Jae-Sang<\/strong>, rocketed to international fame when his song “Gangnam Style” and its much-imitated dance moves went viral on YouTube, notching up more than 450 million views — and still rising fast.<\/p>\n

Asked by AFP how he felt to have topped the music charts across the world, he said:<\/strong> “Well, this is unbelievable. I was not ready for this, so…”<\/p>\n

Dressed in a white shirt with an orange bow tie hanging undone around his neck, he then gave a lesson on how to do the dance to Red Bull drivers Mark Webber, who was on pole position for Sunday’s race, and reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel.<\/p>\n

“So one, two, three, four, then you…” he explained, moving his arms as if holding the reins of a horse. The trio then did the move briefly together, as dozens of photographers and fans swarmed around, clapping and cheering.<\/p>\n

“Where are the sexy ladies?” Vettel asked Psy, a nod to the video of the song.<\/p>\n

“No sexy ladies here, unfortunately,” the Korean superstar replied with a laugh, before he was whisked away by his phalanx of plain-clothes security.<\/p>\n

“This is a very solid dance,” added Psy, who is an ambassador for the race in Yeongam and was scheduled to wave the chequered flag at the end of the grand prix.<\/p>\n
