Psy and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon met on the 23rd at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Upon meeting Psy, Ban Ki Moon joked, "I'm a little jealous of Psy. Recently, a friend told me that I used to be the most famous Korean in the world, but now I had to give up that position because of Psy." Psy replied to the onlookers, "You are currently looking at the most famous Korean and the second most famous Korean in the world."

Ban Ki Moon continued with his jokes and said, "Psy, you are really cool. I think Psy can solve the problem of global warming because he's so cool. Also, since he's so full of energy, he may also be the answer to the energy crisis." He also revealed, "More than 500 million people saw Psy's music video on YouTube. That's more than 10 times the population of Korea. I've seen Psy's music video on YouTube many times as well."

Psy expressed his surprise and said, "Really? That means you increased my YouTube view count. This is a big moment in my life. Koreans respect Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, so I'm honored that you even clicked on my YouTube video." When the media members asked Psy to teach the Secretary General the horse dance, Psy replied, "I think he already knows it", and the two posed in the famous 'horse dance' stance.
