As if the song “Gangnam Style” wasn’t already the most annoying thing in life as it is, Korean pop star PSY more than likely just fast forwarded his 15 minutes of fame when it was revealed earlier last week that he participated in some anti-American songs where he rapped that “Yankees” should be killed for their involvement in the war against Iraq.

The track, entitled “Dear Americans” was recorded on 2004 and has everyone’s current fave phenomenon calling for the deaths of American people:

“Kill those f*cking Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives.”

Kill those f*cking Yankees who ordered them to torture … Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers … Kill them all slowly and painfully.”

PSY released an apology expressing that it was “a deeply emotional reaction” to what was happening at the time.

“While I’m grateful for the freedom to express one’s self, I’ve learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I’m deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words.”

Interestingly enough, he reveals that he was “educated” and lived in the United States for years, which makes the song involvement all the more odd.

I’m sure his wallet will feel that pain as well in the coming days. You can read his full statement after the jump after you remove his song from your iPod.

“As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world. The song I featured on in question from eight years ago — was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two Korean schoolgirls that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time.  While I’m grateful for the freedom to express one’s self, I’ve learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I’m deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words.

I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months — including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them — and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology. While it’s important that we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. In my music, I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. I have learned that thru music, our universal language we can all come together as a culture of humanity and I hope that you will accept my apology.”
