Are you saying those lyrics changed your views on the band?
Psy didn't even write the lyrics, and considering American troops killed two Korean girls very recently when they performed the song, I don't blame him for feeling the way he did.
The war in Iraq is fucking stupid and he had every right to voice his opinion on it, and I applaud him for it. Wishing death on the troops' families was too far, yeah, but again he didn't write the lyrics himself and was probably extremely worked up about the children that were killed to really be in a good frame of mind.
Not to mention it happened 9 years ago, and he had the guts to publicly apologize for it.
I really don't see the big deal, but I'm strongly against the war to begin with so perhaps I'm biased.
Think of all the Americans who say shit like that about people in the Middle East every single day..
Anyways, those articles definitely didn't make me hate the band anymore and perhaps struck my first bit of respect for them. Like one of the article's quoted a comment that I definitely agree with, "As an American, this makes me like Psy even more. Glad to see he has the balls to call out America when we are doing evil."
