Psy doesn't understand why some Asian artists try to act American

Psy recently guested on QTV's 'Talk Asia' and expressed his concerns about why some Asian artists try so hard to "act American."

Psy stated, "I don't know why, but I think there are a lot of Asian singers who try to act American. I'm not an American, so it wouldn't make sense for me to act like one. I want to maintain my status, career, and nationality."

When asked what the secret to his worldwide success is, he stated, "When I was on the plane to attend to some American schedules, I thought of different ways to introduce myself to the world. They were mostly thoughts about what kind of position I had to put myself in for the future."

He continued, "After much deliberation, the answer was simple: be what I am, Korean. That's one of the reasons why I chose to introduce myself before I began dancing on 'The Ellen Show'."

The 20-minute interview done with CNN correspondent Alina Cho will air on December 1st.
