We had a dance party at my Uncle's house on Thanksgiving. I put on Gangnam Style and all my little pre-teen cousins were doing the dance move for it. It was pretty funny.

Ok, I'm not ready to call bullshit on this with 100% certainty, since it's possible some of this story is true—anti-American sentiment is rampant, and I can't find much information on Psy's 2002 performances—but the account of his 2004 rap is so poorly sourced right now that I can't believe credible media outlets are reporting it.
Reports insist that Korean media has known about this story for a long time. I can't confirm that, because I don't speak Korean (I suspect most American reporters writing about this don't either), but from what I see, all the Korean outlets linked to as a source are citing this CNN iReport from October: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-853509
It's written in broken English by a user who cites no sources, doesn't give his or her name, and has never written anything else for iReport. It's essentially an anonymous comment on a message board, and as best as I can tell without speaking Korean, all reports about the "fucking Yankees" rap eventually link back to it.

― max, Friday, 7 December 2012 21:33 (eleven years ago) link
No, it's not. All of the links it cites as evidence for the 2004 incident all eventually link back to that same shady iReport.

i stand by my assertion that its a much better and much better sourced article
Ah, shit, according to MTV Psy just apologized for the incident, which basically confirms the story. Still doesn't forgive the reckless sourcing by American media outlets up til now, but the story was true
― Evan R, Friday, 7 December 2012 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
The MTV story mentions there is still some lack of clarity over the exact words he used at the time.
Oddly, I remember that exact Korea Times article from 2002.

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/gangnam-style-rapper-performing-at-christmas-in-washington
“As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world. The song I featured on in question from eight years ago – was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two Korean schoolgirls that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time. While I’m grateful for the freedom to express one's self, I’ve learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I’m deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words. “I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months – including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them- and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology. While it’s important that we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. In my music, I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. I have learned that thru music, our universal language we can all come together as a culture of humanity and I hope that you will accept my apology."

Hey, Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.And the eagle will fly and it's gonna be hell,When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell.And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you.Ah, brought to you, courtesy of the red, white and blue.
