Gangnam Style wins Korean 'Grammy'

Rapper Psy's Gangnam Style video is a global viral hit

Rapper PSY's worldwide smash hit Gangnam Style has been crowned song of the year by South Korea's music industry association.

The viral sensation that became an international chart-topper last year won the Digital Daesang honour at the 2013 Golden Disk Awards, considered South Korea's version of the Grammys.

PSY did not attend the awards ceremony at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit.

Gangnam Style clinched the award that is determined largely by downloads and ringtone sales. The song edged out contenders by acts including Big Bang, G-Dragon and T-ara.

The two-day awards ceremony was held outside South Korea for a second year after 2012's appearance in Japan.

Boy band Super Junior captured top album honours on Tuesday for its sixth studio release, Sexy, Free & Single.

This is a good time to establish a routine. Create a schedule that strikes a nice balance between your personal and professional lives. You're the type of person who needs plenty of intellectual stimulation outside of work. If you've been spending too much time at the office, reduce your hours. This may mean less money, but you can't put a price on happiness. You might even decide to take a job with unconventional hours so you can play sports or spend more time outdoors.More
