Grocery Store Adventures: Psy?!


Psy’s 2013 Super Bowl ad for...pistachios.

Psy?!

Yup, definitely Psy.

So, yeah, I’ll admit I was a little excited to see a full-size cardboard cutout of Psy in a grocery store. (And quite pleased to have a phone that takes decent pictures now!)

It seems Kpop really is slowly but surely making a dent in North America. (I also saw an awesome Kpop store in Chicago.)
