Now Viewing: gangnam_styleTag type: Copyright Images referencing the music video. Gangnam Style is a comedic 2012 song performed by the popular South Korean hip hop artist PSY. The single reached international popularity once the comedic music video for the song was posted on the Internet and on Youtube and made PSY one of the most internationally successful South Korean musicians. It became the most viewed youtube video of to date with over 1.63 billion views, dethroning Justin Bieber's video for the song Baby. The humorous dance moves in the video are often parodied both in fiction and by people in real life. The song itself is actually a parody of people who obsessively try to imitate or act like the wealthy people who live in the Gangnam district of South Korea. Said people will often claim that they are 'Gangnam Style.' The video itself is also a parody of music videos with all of PSY and the extras' attempts to act cool end up intentionally goofy-looking. Besides Psy himself, many of the people who appear in the video are also South Korean celebrities like the smiling pelvic thrusting man (comedian No Hongchu).
