Overview

"Gentleman" is a K-pop song by South Korean musician Psy released on April 12, 2013 (KST), serving as his 19th single. The song serves as the follow-up to his international hit single "Gangnam Style", which at the time of "Gentleman"'s release had been viewed on YouTube over 1.5 billion times. The first public performance of the song, with its associated dance, was unveiled at 6:30 pm on April 13 at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Seoul. A poster and Twitter message was released containing the main line of the song "I'm a mother f••••• gentleman", The obscured word was later revealed to be "father". In 2013, Psy stated that he had no plans to release an album including the song or a sequel to it. As of May 1, 2021, the video has been viewed more than 1.4 billion times. It held the YouTube record for most views in its first 24 hours, and most views in any 24 hours for over nine years until September 2021. It also held the record for fastest music video to reach 100 million views for over six years until 2019's "Kill This Love" by fellow YG Entertainment girl group Blackpink. Other records previously held were the fastest overall video to reach 200 million views (until September 2017), and 300 million views (until November 2015). The song reached number one on charts in Luxembourg, South Korea and the United States. History Psy first announced a new single would be forthcoming by Twitter on March 8. He originally intended to follow up "Gangnam Style" with a song called "Assarabia", which is Korean slang for "Oh Yeah!", but changed course upon realizing that the title might be offensive to Arab listeners. For the April 13 debut of the dance, Psy instructed fans to attend in white attire. 50,000 people attended the April 13 World Cup Stadium performance. The 6:30 pm Seoul time/ 2:30 am U.S. ET performance was broadcast live on YouTube.

Notable quotes

“The taste of beauty, and the relish of what is decent, just and amiable, perfects the character of the gentleman and the philosopher. And the study of such a taste or relish will, as we suppose, be ever the great employment and concern of him who covets as well to be wise and good, as agreeable and polite.”
— Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury, Characteristicks of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times (1711), "Miscellany III".
“I was ne'er so thrummed since I was a gentleman.”
— Thomas Dekker, The Honest Whore (1604), Part I, Act IV, scene 2.
“In whatever society he might find himself, the humblest citizen should therefore so order his behaviour that when he left the table men would say "A gentleman was here."”
— Alice Stopford Green, Town Life in the Fifteenth Century (London: Macmillan & Co., 1894), Vol. II, Ch. I: "Town Manners", p. 9.
“Bob Forestier had pretended for so many years to be a gentleman that in the end, forgetting that it was all a fake, he had found himself driven to act as in that stupid, conventional brain of his he thought a gentleman must act. No longer knowing the difference between sham and real, he had sacrificed his life to a spurious heroism.”
— W. Somerset Maugham, "The Lion's Skin" (1937), in Collected Short Stories 1, p. 283.
“A gentleman born, master parson; who writes himself 'Armigero;' in any bill, warrant, quittance, or obligation, 'Armigero.'”
— William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor (c. 1597; published 1602), Act I, scene 1, line 9.
“Of the offspring of the gentilman Jafeth come Habraham, Moyses, Aron, and the profettys; also the Kyng of the right lyne of Mary, of whom that gentilman Jhesus was borne.”
— Juliana Berners, Heraldic Blazonry.
