Singer and hallyu sensation Psy�s free concert at the Seoul Plaza last year has set yet another world record.

The Korea Record Institute approved the concert in October 2012 as the largest �single mob dance� performed to the tune of �Gangnam Style.�

An estimated 80,000 to 100,000 people at the site joined Psy in his signature horse-riding dance.

The institute viewed video clips and press releases prior to making the record official.

�His concert let the world know of the passionate Korean culture as well as promoting national status,� said an institute official.

I have a problem with this. Why? I was there, and I can assure you there were not 80,000 to 100,000 people simultaneously invisible horse ride dancing. Imagine the most packed subway. That's what the concert was like. Psy did the song twice, each time urging everyone to dance so he could get into the Guiness Book of World Records. The second time he did the Gangnam Style song I was towards the back of the crowd with sufficient space to do the horse riding dance, but I didn't, nor did the girl I was with, nor did many people around us or the people in front of us. In my opinion it's not a legit record. (Oh well. Life goes on.)
