BARACK Obama berjabat tangan dengan bintang Gangnam Style, Psy, meskipun rapper tersebut pernah menyanyikan lagu tentang ajakan membunuh tentara Amerika.
Penyanyi Korea Selatan itu tampil di Gedung Putih pada pengumpulan dana dan bertemu dengan Presiden - 10 tahun setelah penampilan ofensif anti-Amerika.
Sebuah video pada 2004 menunjukkan Psy memukul tank AS seraya ngomel tentang sepak terjang tentara Amerika.
Psy, nama asli Park Jae-sang menyanyi: "Bunuh mereka f*** Yankess yang telah menyiksa rakyat Irak. Bunuh putri mereka, ibu, anak perempuan, mertua dan ayah, bunuh mereka semua perlahan-lahan dan menyakitkan...."
Bintang internet ini telah meminta maaf setelah penampilannya pada 2004 dan kemudian kuliah di universitas di Amerika.
Namun rekaman ´lagu kebencian´ tersebut kembali muncul secara online, sehingga membuat malu penyanyi bertubuh tambun ini.
Gangnam Style masih menjadi video paling ditonton dalam sejarah YouTube dengan rekor 917 juta kali dilihat.
BARACK Obama shook hands with Gangnam Style star Psy, despite the rapper having previously sung about killing American soldiers.
The South Korean singer performed at a White House fundraiser where he met the President - ten years after an offensive anti-American performance.
A 2004 video shows Psy smashing a model US tank while ranting about American soldiers.
Psy, real name Park Jae-sang, rapped: "Kill those f****** Yankees who have been torturing Iraqis. Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers, kill them all slowly and painfully."
The viral star apologised after the 2004 gig and later attended university in the States.
However footage of the hate song recently re-emerged online, causing embarrassment for the chubby entertainer.
But President Obama said the show, which was raising money for the Children´s National Medical Center, was a good opportunity for people to "get in the Christmas spirit".
Gangnam Style is the most watched video in the history of YouTube with over 917 million views.
