Hey everybody! Today I’ll be talking about this amazing video that’s going viral all over the U.S. and all over the world! Hope you enjoy this post.
I discovered this music video when I was just watching random videos on YouTube. I also liked checking out what was popular on YouTube so when I saw the YouTube 100, the number one video that was on the list was this song called “Gangnam Style” by this Korean singer named Psy. If you don’t know what the YouTube 100 is, it’s a chart that shows what’s popular on YouTube based on what people have been watching recently.
When I saw the music video, there was a bunch of hilarious things that were going on in the video. Some of the stuff in the video was so funny that it would probably just knock your socks off or just blow your mind because that’s just how funny it is! I thought this music video was hilarious because of all of the dancing that was in the video. In the video, the dance is supposed resemble riding on a horse. You can see people, especially Psy, doing this dance in places like a carousel, while walking across the street, and many other places that you see in the video.
I also thought this video was also funny because of the things Psy was doing (besides the dancing) throughout the music video. Psy and some of the other people that were in the video did some crazy things in the video. Some of the things that happened in the video included Psy pretending to drown in a hot tub, a guy doing a weird dance in an elevator, Psy dancing on a boat, and many more crazy things! This video will just keep you laughing from the start all the way to the very end. Even though some people won’t understand the lyrics because it’s in Korean, at least people will still be able to enjoy the video only in a different way.
Here is the music video of “Gangnam Style” by Psy:
When Psy appeared on VH1, he said that the video is about how to get a girl in Gangnam, which kind of like the Korean version of Beverly Hills in Seoul, South Korea. The story of the video is that a guy who isn’t from Gangnam tries to impress his crush (played by Hyuna from the Kpop group called 4Minute) by trying to be like a rich guy from Gangnam. At the end of the video, the guy was able to impress the girl. You can see Psy’s appearance on VH1 at the bottom of this post along with other videos.
Psy’s appearance on VH1:
Not only has Psy been mentioned on VH1, but he has also been talked about on CNN, CBC, and other broadcasting networks. The song has also been mentioned on magazines and newspapers which include The Huffington Post, The Wall Street Journal, ABC News, The National, and many more! All of them, including a German magazine called Der Spiegel and Europe’s largest newspaper called the Blid, mention how funny Psy is because of his costumes and dancing but they mainly mention how popular Psy is now! Psy’s Gangnam Style became so famous that it eventually took the world by storm!
CNN talkng about the “Gangnam Style” music video:
Once Gangnam Style started to gain popularity, people started to make parodies of the song too which also gained many viewers. Out of all of the parodies that are on YouTube, I actually think that Hongdae Style by Trend Factory is the best because it also makes people laugh as much as they saw Gangnam Style.

Some people on YouTube also made videos of how they reacted when watching the video. All of the reaction videos also make viewers laugh too because of how they laugh or what they say about the different actions in the video.
Some of the many music video reactions about “Gangnam Style”:
Some people have also done dance covers to which feature the dance from the music video. Out of all of the dance covers that I saw, there this one dance cover that I really liked that took place at a Korean baseball stadium for the Doosan bears pro baseball team. In the video, there were cheerleaders dancing to the song and the mascot was dancing, but when it came to the chorus, the mascot stepped down from the stage and a bodyguard went up and did the dance. The guy dancing kind of looked like Psy which was why I liked the dance cover, but what I really liked about it was that he did the splits at the end of the music video. At the bottom of this post will also be some reaction videos of Gangnam Style and the dance cover that I just talked about.

Psy’s Gangnam Style has become so popular that it has gotten over 75,000,000 and counting! What makes this music video so great is that it’s probably the most popular Korean video ever! This music video is so cool and hilarious because of the dancing and because of happens every second of the video.
Hey Nika K,
Maybe a little off topic, however, Currently, the Korean song Gangnam Style by Psy is popular all over Europe, except the UK where it hasn’t even got into the charts.
It was the same with the Brazilian song “Ai Se Eu Te Pego” by Michel Telo, which was extremely popular all over Europe, but once again went by totally unheard of in the UK.
Why don’t Brits want to listen to foreign language songs when other countries seem to be far more open to listening to music that isn’t in their own native language?
Kindest Regards
