A boy from China who gained fame for his impressions of rapper Psy has revealed that he has cancerous brain tumor.

Jeon Min-woo, 10, who earned the nickname “Little Psy” by dancing to the Korean rapper’s viral hit “Gangnam Style,” announced on the SBS show “Curious Story Y” that he is suffering from brainstem glioma.

Not to be confused with the boy who starred in the official Gangnam Style video, Hwang Min-woo, Jeon was diagnosed with the disease in China.

His family has heard he has around six months to live, a local vernacular said Sunday.

Donations have poured in for the boy, whose parents have moved to Korea where Jeon receives hospital care.
