PSY - GANGNAM STYLE (강남스타일)
PSY (ft. HYUNA) - Oppa Is Just My Style (오빤 딱 내 스타일)
Gangnam Style is a single by South Korean singer, PSY. It was released on July 15, 2012. Since its release on YouTube, the music video has achieved over 38 million hits. It entered the Gaon Chart singles chart at number one upon release.
The Korean slang "Gangnam Style" refers to a luxurious lifestyle, associated with Gangnam district, an affluent and trendy area of Seoul.The music video depicts PSY dancing at various locations in Gangnam.The song's theme is about "the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild."
The music video shows PSY dancing a comical horse-riding dance and
appearing in unexpected locations such as an outdoor yoga session and
hot tub. The "skewering [of] the Gangnam image" by the "non-Gangnam PSY"
is recognizable to Korean viewers, but those less familiar with the
cultural context have found the video "fresh" amidst the teen pop idol
groups increasingly popular with overseas viewers.
Gangnam Style was officially re-released on August 14, 2012 as Oppa Is Just My Style (Korean: 오빤 딱 내 스타일), featuring additional vocals provided by South Korean singer and 4Minute member Hyuna. Oppa Is Just My Style is the interpretation of the original Gangnam Style from a woman's perspective.Commentators argued that despite a great music video, the "melody of the song did not work with HyunA's voice".
Despite criticism against Hyuna's vocals, the accompanying music video
has managed to nearly 7 million viewers within the first two days. To date, the music video has since received over 10 million hits.
