Psy, the Korean pop star responsible for the 2012 earworm “Gangnam Style,” is busting the internet with his new singles, “I Luv It” and “New Face.”

Guess what, a familiar yellow leotard-wearing man popped up for a quick cameo role in the “I Luv It” music video: Piko-Taro, played by Japanese comedian Kosaka Daimaou. Just like Psy, Piko Taro became a celebrity with his ditty “Pen Pineapple Apple Pen,” which now has 120 million views on YouTube.

Also featured in the clip was Lee Byung-hun, who appeared in films such as “Gi Joe: Retaliation” and “Terminator: Genisys.”

Both tracks are part of Psy’s new album “4×2=8” and are now scaling YouTube with over 8 million views each.

They could possibly follow the footsteps of predecessor “Gangnam Style,” which was ranked as the most-streamed clip on the site with 2.8 billion hits.  Gianna Francesca Catolico /ra
