K-POP Korner: PSY's Gangnam Style Will Keep You Dancing And Laughing
Oopa Gangnam Style!

For around 6 months, I've been listening to K-POP on a regular basis as I find the music is way more addictive than anything that's currently on the air waves in the U.S. Groups like 2NE1, Girls' Generation and Wonder Girls have not only kept me entertained with her excessively attractive group members, but their songs are legimitately good, even if I can't understand anything they're saying as I don't know a lick of Korean.
PSY is an artist I'm not too familiar with as he's been on a hiatus for the past two years. The single from his latest album, Gangnam Style, received the video treatment on July 15 and has since blown up in popularity as the video is currently at 16 million views and counting.
Gangnam Style is a song where PSY is singing about his ideal girlfriend as he wants a girl who knows how to present herself in the appropriate manner during the day, but also knows how to have fun at night. The video has PSY dancing with a number of attractive women, performing on a party bus and busting out dance moves you would likely see someone who has been riding the Horse Riding Fitness Ace Power on a regular basis.
The majority of K-POP groups have attractive men, women or both and often have catchy beats with often times cute or sexy appeal to their fans. What makes PSY's music video so great is not only does it have a ridiculously addictive beat, but PSY isn't exactly what you would consider cool by K-POP terms. Instead, he's awkward looking, overweight and may have too much confidence, but he carries himself so well that you can't help but think he's cool no matter what he's doing.
Regardless of his awkward looks, PSY's Gangnam Style is a video that will certainly turn K-POP non-believers into immediate fans once you watch the video.

Gangnam style (n.): a manner associated with lavish lifestyles in Seoul’s Gangnam district. This definition is adapted from an Urban Dictionary entry–an increasingly popular entry since South Korean rapper PSY released a cheeky music video celebrating “Gangnam style.” In it, he does a signature “horse-riding dance,” which has made “K-pop”–Korean pop music–the toast of trend-watchers. This week Britney Spears even got in on the equine action … which was as weird as it sounds, and a great deal more charming.

PSY 'Gangnam Style' Lyrics <English Translation>
Oppa is Gangnam style Gangnam style
A girl who is warm and humanle during the day A classy girl who know how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes A girl with that kind of twist
I’m a guy A guy who is as warm as you during the day A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down A guy whose heart bursts when night comes That kind of guy
Beautiful, loveable Yes you, hey, yes you, hey Beautiful, loveable Yes you, hey, yes you, hey Now let’s go until the end
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh
A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all A sensable girl like that
I’m a guy A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles That kind of guy
Beautiful, loveable Yes you, hey, yes you, hey Beautiful, loveable Yes you, hey, yes you, hey Now let’s go until the end
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby I’m a man who knows a thing or two On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby I’m a man who knows a thing or two
You know what I’m saying Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh
