Template:Contains Japanese text

Gangnam Style (Template:Lang-ko) is a single by Korean singer, PSY. It was released on July 15, 2012. In three weeks since its release on YouTube the music video has achieved over 9000 hits. It entered the GAON singles chart at number one on release. It also reached the top 40 in the iTunes charts of Sweden, Denmark, Japan (twice) and New Zealand.

The Korean slang "Gangnam Style" refers to a luxurious lifestyle, as associated to Gangnam district, an affluent and trendy area of Seoul . The music video depicts PSY dancing in various locations in Gangnam. The song's theme is about "the perfect Korean girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild."

The music video shows PSY dancing comically using a horse-riding dance move and appearing in unexpected locations such as an outdoor yoga session and hot tub. The "skewering 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.

Comedians and television personalities Yoo Jae-Seok and Noh Hong-cheol, as well as 4Minute member Hyuna, and Big Bang members Daesung and Seungri make appearances in the music video as elderly men.
