And this (I didn't know what) came on. at first i thought it was chinese then it sounded Korean. All I could make out was "Gundom Star" (at least that's what it sounded like to me). While looking up on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0 I guess this is the guy. It's good to see a husky Korean got work.

Also it's too bad they don't get taller than 5' 4". Korean hippty hop came up, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlWZluzBNxM&feature=g-logo-xit

    It's "Gangdam Style" by PSY.... and the story is that this korean man is looking for his "down to earth, solid core, pure and pretty" female soulmate.

    the video...yeah... that dance is .... uhm.. yeah. I have no clue.. but am told it's taking the country by storm.

    You have no idea [:D]

    There's also a parody called "Mitt Romney Style" that's in English [;)]

    There's this dead or dying radio station KRML that's playing this guy back to back hourly. Also the video reminds me of David Lee Roth after Van Hallen but Korean [:D].

    The video, the song and the story behind it actually borders on brilliant in my opinion. It's no wonder it is one of the most viewed videos in u-toob history. (over a half a BILLION hits).

    It's actually a parody on the Beverly Hills (90210 type) culture, via South Korea's Gangnam district. It's not really about being "from" there, as much as it's about people who pretend to be 'from' there. Psy (Park Jae-Sang) actually has a pretty interesting story too.

    Whole thing kind of reminds me of the posers that used to hang around Clark Quay in Singapore. Just like 90210, but in Chinese.

    ...and then there's Hyuna! She's worth the whole thing!!

    <kinda reminds me of the cute little Asian gal posted on here a while back pointing her fingers and pretending to shoot>

    edit...plus the story about the little kid dancin' in the beginning is pretty cool too. He was 5 in the video, BTW.






    She is adorable [:)] There's a version where she sings it though, too baby-talky for me [xx(]

    little kid story?

    What you expect her to belt out like Berry White? She's like what 5' nothing and 70 pounds soaking wet? Also Koreans don't talk in their native language, they YELL and HOLLAR [:D]. One of the funniest things to me about Koreas. I expect them to go get knives and get all stabby.
