Music video[]
As a tuxedo-clad Psy, wearing sunglasses, walks up a paved street hill with an entourage of comparatively older men, he stops to kick a traffic cone. He is in a boutique with the men who follow him while holding shopping bags. As he passes through the shop's corridors, he grabs the breast-contour of a female-shaped mannequin. He lounges in a patio chair while a girl dances behind him. Psy dances at a playground with a guy (HaHa).Psy plays Candy Crush Saga on his iPhone 5, as a woman (Kim Min-sun) jogs on a treadmill, but then he adjusts the controls to speed up the treadmill, propelling the woman to the floor while he laughs. On the following scene, Psy holds the hands of a girl (Bang Kyung-ran) at a restaurant table, while Noh Hong-chul thrusts his pelvis in the background. Psy then pushes the bottom of her coffee cup to her face.
Yoo Jae-suk, wearing his yellow tuxedo and sunglasses as in the "Gangnam Style" video, rushes into an elevator, urgently needing to reach a bathroom, but Psy arrives and stalls the trip by pushing all the elevator floor buttons; he taunts the doubled-over Yoo with his dance. At a library, Psy farts in his hand—cupping it to contain and concentrate the flatus—and then, depicted in slow motion, delivers it in front of the face of a girl (Kim Hyun-Joo).
In a pink tuxedo, Psy does the hip-swaying dance while putting his hand to his chin, while the dancers do the same; the women have their backs to the viewers so they sway with their ponytails. Psy crashes a kids' soccer game and kicks their ball away. He applies lotion onto a girl in a violet bikini’s belly (Ji Ho-jin) and on the back of a girl in a yellow bikini (Choi So-ra) while a guy (Gil Seong-joon) carefully works a hair dryer and brush on his bald head, Psy undoes the yellow bikini girl's top, causing her to gasp and shriek and she hurriedly tries to cover up her exposed breasts , whilst her friends continues sleeping , completely oblivious to her companions predicament . Psy is later shown lying on his belly on the floor while two guys (Park Myeong-su and Jeong Jun-ha) sway on top of him. He takes a girl (Kim Sol) to be seated at a restaurant, but pulls the chair away, causing her to fall. Another guy (Jeong Hyeong-don) offers his hand to help her up, but yanks her down instead.
Psy sees a girl (Ga-In) who is working out in a "body-hugging football outfit" with the red letter 'G'. He takes off his jacket, flings it at her and does a pull up. As he leaves, the girl follows him. They go to a tented market cafe where she abruptly pulls the seat from under him and shakes up his beer. Psy plays around with noodle dough as if it were a feather boa; while he sucks at some hand-pulled Korean noodles, she is chewing on an oden fishcakeon a stick. He and the dancers do the sway again. He parties with the people at the tent. He starts saying "Wet Psy!" He sits with the two bikini-clad girls. He sings "Wet Psy!" over and over. He raises his arms to show his sweat-soaked armpits. He and the two girls are catapulted into the swimming pool.He and the dancers sway at the pool, an indoor field, and outdoors.
The after-song footage has an outtake from the tent cafe. The girl dances around the pole of a street sign while Psy does the same with a wider traffic light pole. A girl is about to make a photocopy when Psy rushes in and photocopies his face. The copier prints the stylized promotional intertitle of the song and music video.
