Does South Korean Rapper PSY Hate America?

[Ken Burch]

93. Througout Psy's life, The presence of U.S. troops in S. Korea has been opposed by many S. Koreans.

It's only been since the collapse of the military dictatorship(which occurred in 1987, the year Psy turned 10) that the country has been given any real sovereignty at all, and not much sovereignty at that(just imagine how long a newly-elected S. Korean president who pledged to evict U.S. forces would be allowed to stay in office if you don't believe me). Most countries that have the armies of other countries on their soil aren't really happy about it(even the British, during World War II, referred to the U.S. forces as "overfed, oversexed, over here"-and they were on OUR side in that war). It's not as if South Koreans are the first people in history that expressed hostility to the presence of troops from a foreign empire(face folks, the U.S. IS an empire, and we should all just admit that right now, btw) and much of that hostility in other places has been expressed in the kind of terms Psy used here.

Most of us would feel the same way as Psy does if somebody else's army was occupying American territory.
