International sensation PSY has become the first Korean singer to scoop a main prize at the MTV Europe Music Awards[EMA].

The rapper-singer won the Best Video prize with his infectious music video “Gangnam Style” at the 2012 MTV EMA, held in the western German city Frankurt on last Sunday in local time.

After receiving the prize, PSY expressed his gratitude to his family and fans loving “Gangnam Style” all over the world, stressing a big support from his country, South Korea.
