South Korean star PSY created an idol audition-like moment during his 'PSY Summer Swag 2026' concert. After seeing a middle school student confidently dancing in the audience, he immediately instructed his manager to get her contact details, boldly stating, "We'll meet again soon!" The video of the incident quickly went viral, leading to the girl's identity being revealed.

On May 25, a video titled "PSY 'Summer Swag' On-the-Spot Audition" circulated widely on social media. When the concert camera panned to a female student, she showed no signs of shyness, confidently facing the camera and immediately breaking into a unique dance that captivated the entire audience.

Upon seeing her, PSY immediately requested, "Show me that last friend again." As the camera refocused on the girl, she appeared to be thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere, continuing to dance freely, unfazed by the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators.

PSY then asked, "Which section is she in?" before directly instructing his staff: "That friend doesn't need to scream anymore. Please have a P NATION manager go get her contact information. We'll meet again soon." His words, akin to an on-the-spot recruitment, sent the audience into a frenzy.

The video garnered over 11 million views within just one day of its release, sparking widespread discussion. The girl, Kim Ra-hee (김라희), later appeared on social media herself, happily posting, "Hello everyone!!! Thank you for liking and complimenting me," expressing her gratitude to netizens.
