Forget about walkin out, crankin dat, teaching me how to dougie or jerk, or doing the macarena…Gangnam Style is the dance move that’s hot!
The incredibly catchy, bouncy, foot-stomping tune by South Korean rapper Park Jae-Sang aka Psy comes out in his latest album after a two year wait. The song by itself is nothing special for non-Koreans, but the magic that tipped the scales is its wacky music video. Thanks to the dance choreography, ridiculous fashion and anime-style randomness, Gangnam Style is exploding all over the internets and going completely viral, with video parodies, dance numbers, and mash-ups from everywhere in the world. Pop stars like Nicki Minaj, Nelly Furtado and LMFAO and people who don’t speak a word of Korean have been inspired by the Gangnam style video and busted out his signature dance move which proves the power of music and dance to break across all language and cultural barriers. Apparently, the song pokes fun at the posh people from the Gangnam district in South Korea. The Manila counterpart would be the private subdivisions like Forbes, Dasmariñas Ayala Alabang Village, etc.

A scorching rendition of Gangnam Style. I don’t know how many sexy Korean dance groups there are out there–there seem to be a hell of a lot–and that’s a good thing! Sexy dance groups seem to be South Korea’s 5th hottest export, after kimchi, Samsung, Kia, and Hyundai products.
