MUSIC LYF: The Gangnam Show in Manila Moved To February

To clear speculations, the so called "end of the world" date has nothing to do with the phenomenal Korean superstar Psy which was scheduled to have a concert on December 20, 2012 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. The Gangnam Show: Psy Live in Manila is rescheduled to February of 2013 due to logistical issues. The concert features Psy plus many local acts  like Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Chocoleit, Pokwang, Pooh, K Brosas, Wally Bayola and Jose Manalo, Ate Gay and Ms. Ai Ai Delas-Alas that will make it a big Gangnam style party. However due to this reason, we may have to wait until next year to have that big dancing party here, but rest assured that Psy will be here and ready to rock Manila.

Below is the statement sent by Joed Serrano (of That's Ntertainment) and Renen de Guia (of Ovation)
