Psy To Co-Host Canada's MuchMusic Video Awards: King Of K-pop Also To Appear As Presenter, Nominee At 2013 Billboard Music Awards

The accolades keep flooding in for K-pop's number one "Gentleman," Psy.

It was announced Thursday that the King of K-pop will co-host the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto next month, according to a report on in the Hollywood Reporter.

In addition to his co-hosting duties, Psy will also perform his hit single "Gentleman" at the Canadian awards show.

"Psy is really going to bring the party to this year's MMVAs," said 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards Executive Producer Sheila Sullivan.

"His explosive energy and fun approach to music is a great fit for the MMVAs, and our audience."

The MuchMusic Video Awards will be held on June 16.

On Sunday, Psy will appear as a presenter at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.

The star-studded awards show, which also includes Cee-Lo Green, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Miley Cyrus, Kelly Rowland, Kid Rock, Carly Rae Jepsen, Ke$ha and Alanis Morisette on the presenters list, will be broadcast live from Las Vegas on ABC, according to Billboard Magazine.

Tracy Morgan of "30 Rock" and "Saturday Night Live" fame will host.

Legendary dance music visionary Prince will be on-hand to perform and receive a Billboard Icon Award.

Pop icon Madonna will be presented with Touring Artist award for her MDNA tour.

The other performers include Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Miguel, Justin Bieber, Pitbull, Christina Aguilera, Selena Gomez, the Band Perry, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Chris Brown, Ed Sheeran, Akon, Ne-Yo, David Guetta and Icona Pop.

Psy also has a chance to walk home with an award, as he is nominated in six of the show's 45 categories. They include: Top New Artist, Top Streaming Artist, Top Rap Artist, Top Streaming Song (Video), Top Rap Song, and Top Dance, according to allkpop.

The nominees and winners for the 2013 Billboard Music Awards are influenced by album and digital singles sales, radio airplay, touring, online streaming and social media sites Facebook as well as video websites Vevo and YouTube.

Hopefully things won't be awkward at the afterparty if Psy happens to bump into Madonna.

Last week, the K-pop icon joked on an Australian radio show about the Material Girl being wasted when he met her at a recent event at New York City's Metropolitan Museum Of Art.

"What [Madonna] told me was, 'I heard your new song, how can you do that one more time?'" Psy recalled.

"She said something I can't [repeat] and I was like, 'Oh my god, really? That means a lot. And she said, 'No, I'm drunk!'"
