South Korean Pop icon Park Jae-sang met his fans on Reddit for one hour last night, Time reported.

Park Jae-sang, whose Gangnam Style music video has gathered 532 million views and 4.5 million likes on youtube since July, revealed he was inspired by Freddy Mercury, the lead singer for the 80s British band Queen.

34-year-old married father of two Psy shot to international fame when his "Gangnam Style" video went viral shortly after being posted on YouTube.

Over the brief period his international fame has lasted, Psy has met, among others, with actors Betty White, Hugh Jackman and singers Britney Spears, Justin Bieber and Jon Bon Jovi.

However, Psy still wants to meet Mission Impossible actor Tom Cruise.

It’s Art, a K-Pop ballad from 2010, is Psy’s second favorite song after Gangnam Style, he said.

His favorite ’Gangnam Style’ copycat rendition is the one by Ohio University’s marching band.

The elevator scene, filmed with Korean enterainer Noh Hong-chul, is Psy’s favorite scene in his much-watched video. “That is a very popular dirty move he has been doing for 6 years and I asked him to do it in my video,” he wrote. “We only did 2-3 takes and everyone on the video set was crying from laughing.”

Psy said he has not yet tired of his almost daily performances of his trademark Gangnam Style dance. “There’s no time to be bored, I’m so busy doing the horse dance,” he wrote.

When one of his fans invited the singer to hang out in Seoul, the rapper answered in Carly Rae Jepsen’s words: “Call me maybe.”
