What happened to Psy after Gangnam Style?

After releasing Gangnam Style, Psy quickly followed that with another catchy tune Gentleman in 2013. Although it couldn’t match the popularity of its predecessor, the single was successful in creating a buzz in the West. 

Reportedly, he went on to earn $55 million from sales and shows in America. He was also topping the Chinese charts at this point, even though many had moved on from Gangnam Style.
