The
song is currently ranked 11 on the chart's "Hot 100" list.
"If
I do become number one on Billboard, I'd dare to dance half-naked in front of a
large crowd of people," Psy told a packed press conference on his return
from a triumphant promotional tour in the United States.
"I
would pick a place, preferably in front of Seoul City Hall," said the
singer, whose real name is Park Jae-Sang.
The
chubby 34-year-old shot to international fame when his "Gangnam
Style" video went viral shortly after being posted on YouTube in mid-July.
It
has since notched up more than 270 million views on the video-sharing site.
Recent
appearances at the MTV awards in Los Angeles and on numerous prime-time US talk
shows boosted his profile even higher, pushing "Gangnam Style" to the
top of the US iTunes Chart.
Psy
told reporters he was still stunned by the success of the catchy single, which
is sung almost entirely in Korean.
"This
is my heyday, in 12 years since I debuted as a singer... This is just
unbelievable, and I'm thankful for everything," he said.
Commenting
on his trip to the United States, which saw him teaching the horse dance to a
bemused Britney Spears on television, Psy confessed to feeling homesick at
times as well as mentally exhausted.
"Nostalgia
is the biggest thing, and another thing is having to use English all the time.
Translating the interviews from Korean to English and vice versa in my head
gave me a bad headache," he said.
Nevertheless,
he said he had plans for a new release which he said could be a mix of his
previous Korean hits sung in English.
"I'd
like to be more than a wacky Korean guy doing the horse-riding dance, and be
branded as a Korean singer who can have, and give, non-stop fun for
hours," he said.
