Psy's rep released a statement on September 3, 2012 that read, "Psy has signed on with Island Records for his management worldwide with the exception of Korea."
It has been confirmed that a digital remake of the song "Gangnam Style" will be done through Island Record. Psy is expected to attend the Hollywood star-filled MTV Video Music Awards show.
The rumored U.S. version done by Justin Bieber has not be ruled out just yet. A representative from the agency disclosed that their strategy involves promoting the original version first before taking any steps to create another version.
Mstarz readers have given their opinion on who they would like to see remaking a U.S. version. In a recent poll battling between Justin Bieber, Eminem, Carly Rae Jepsen, Katy Perry and the original version, the majority of the votes went to Psy, though Bieber, Eminem and Perry received a fair amount of votes.
Britney Spears recently expressed her interest in doing the now famous "horse dance" invented by Psy.
