Parents proud that I am more famous than Ban Ki-Moon: Psy

South Korean rapper Psy's parents are overjoyed with his fame and are proud that their son is more famous than secretary-general of the United Nations Ban Ki-Moon.

Psy says his parents are thrilled that 'Gangnam Style and its wacky horse riding dance move are such a hit because he is now the most famous Korean in the world, reported Sun online.

"They are really proud. My father is happy, because now he sees I am more famous than Ban Ki-Moon, the secretary-general of the United Nations. He was the most famous Korean person before me," Psy said.

The rapper recently announced that he is set to release the highly-anticipated follow-up to his global hit 'Gangnam Style' in April, and hold a large concert in Seoul to mark the occasion.
