PSY reportedly died on January 11, 2014. The Korean singer who got the world dancing to his hit songs 'Gangnam Style' and 'Gentlemen' was allegedly found dead inside his home in Korea. Because of this the "R.I.P. PSY" Facebook page attracted nearly one million of likes from his fans all over the world. However, it was found out later on that the Korean hitmaker is perfectly fine. He was just victimized by the circulating death hoaxes on the Internet.

PSY's international fans were stunned when they read about PSY's passing on an online site called Mediamass. Moreover, the Global Associated News also reported his death, which made it even more believable.

According to MediaMass, following PSY's death, the "R.I.P. PSY" Facebook page gained a lot of likes and comments expressing their sympathy to the hitmaker's family and friends. The page states, "At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (January 11, 2014), our beloved singer PSY passed away. PSY was born on December 31, 1977 in Seoul. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page."

Although many were quick to believe that the report was true, some remained skeptical due to the huge possibility of it being a death hoax just like the long list of celebrity death hoaxes circulating social media.

On the other hand, many believed the report in Global Associated News since it even explained that the 36-year-old unfortunately passed away after a vehicular crash. Nevertheless, some fans pointed out that a short notice about the false nature of the report was provided below the Global Associated News page.
