1. Your Questions About Gangnam Style
Ruth asks…
What are the sunglasses called that PSY is wearing in the
Gangnam Style video and where can I buy them?
I’m working on my costume for halloween. I’ve decided to be PSY from the Gangnam Style
viral video. I’ve found everything but the sunglasses. Does anyone know what they’re called
and where I can buy them? Go to youtube and watch the psy gangnam style video if you don’t
know what I’m talking about.

2. George asks…
Do you think I could learn to dance gangnam style by Sunday
night?
I just know my friend’s gonna whip out her gangnam style dance and I wanna keep up.
Big Arn answers:
If you decide to practice it a lot, then there’s a pretty good chance. You may even be able to
learn it earlier than Sunday night.

3. Richard asks…
How did Gangnam Style get so popular all of a sudden?
If you go on Youtube, Baby got 800 million views in 4 years while Gangnam Style got 750
million in 4 MONTHS. That’s pretty impressive. No offense. But seriously, how did it get THAT
many views?!
Big Arn answers:
It surprised the singer too. He meant it for his fans in Korea, and it went viral.

The video, shot in almost candy colors, is hysterically funny. Now some people think Justin
Bieber’s “Baby” is hysterically funny too, but it’s not meant to be. Psy was poking some
good-natured fun at some of the affluent and often pretentious people living in the rich Korean
suburb of Gangnam (in the capital city of Seoul). Gangnam is called the “Beverly Hills” of
Korea.
What surprised me is that I actually first heard the song when I flipping through radio stations
and heard someone singing and rapping in Korean. I live in the Midwest where you normally
hear a lot of country-western music. You can’t go more mainstream than that.
I called my teenaged daughter and put her on the phone and she told me what it was (she
listens to some pretty “alternative” stuff sometimes, so I figure she would know). She said I
should look up the video because it was “delightfully cheesy”.
So, in a nutshell, the song is so bad (on purpose) it’s good and people find it funny. There is the
silly but easy “horsey dance” that really isn’t any dumber than “Cupid Shuffle” (which is old,

4. old, old but people in nightclubs in the Midwest still request it from the DJ so they can all line up
and dance).
It’s a fad and it will fade like other fads, so be patient. And try develop a sense of humor for the
absurd in the meanwhile.
What surprised me the most is the number of people who apparently missed the joke. What
saddens me is the no-so veiled racism in the “asian” comments. There are different types of
people in the world and they don’t have to be all alike to be of value.

Sandy asks…
What is The Illuminati’s opinion on Gangnam Style?
Do you think The Illuminati thinks they must conquer S. Korea secretly and inject their power
and symbols all over the Korean media from now on?
What did the Illuminati think about Gangnam Style?
If Gangnam Style wasn’t part of the Illuminati’s plan, then is Psy in danger?
Please take this seriously.

Idk, but i think Gangnam Style is so stupid.
Steven asks…
What does “Oppa gangnam style” mean in English? & why this
song is so popular?
What is such in this song that millions of people daily view it. I saw it and I didn’t found anything
special. Ya, song is good but then there are lot many other songs with good dance and music,
so what is in it that it gained high popularity? And don’t forget to answer what “Oppa gangnam
style” mean in English?
By the way I was not knowing Korea is this forward and modern country to allow such album. Is
it a modern country? I thought it is backward

10. Big Arn answers:
“Oppa” is a Korean word used frequently in Korean music (have you heard SNSD’s song
Oh?). It is a word used by girls referring to an ‘older boys or brothers’ which has a distinct
meaning and is nuanced in a way that only really exists in Japan and Korea. The word implies
they are often the item of girls’ desire. In this context he is referring to himself. It’s very difficult
to explain the term to someone who doesn’t really have the cultural understanding. The
equivalent in Japan I think is ‘Kohai’.. But don’t hold me to that.
“Gangnam” is a wealthy downtown area of Seoul. Think Korea’s ‘Hollywood meets Times
Square”
“Style”… Well, that one you’d know
“Gangnam style” you can kind of interpret yourself.. Like, ‘downtown style’? Haha i don’t
know
anyway in conjunction the phrase kind of has no English translation, the closest thing i can think
of is something like “BIG BROTHER DOWNTOWN STYLE”
He’s just having a laugh really
SOUTH KOREA is very developed, Seoul is the world’s second largest metro region and has
the world’s fastest internet connection

11. Does anyone else find it weird that the song Gangnam Style is
topping the charts and its in Koren?
I was listening to it with my friend and he was sing “Oppa Gangnam style” but that it except for
“Hey sexy lady” but the rest! What do you think?!?!?!? I just like the beat and how he
says Gangnam style(: but that’s just me(:
THANKS CAITIE<3
I like the song and its not just because its Korean. I like the beat its very catchy!
Big Arn answers:
No, it’s very catchy and the video has become viral. It also has a satirical edge which makes it
“hipper” than typical Kpop which tends to be overly produced and sappy.
John asks…

12. Is gangnam style the biggest korean hit ever?
Just wondering if there any other Korean music that very well known worldwide like Gangnam
style?
Big Arn answers:
It’s the biggest Korean hit EVER…the next best well known song after it would be Gee by Girl’s
Generation a.k.a SNSD with 84 million views on YouTube. Also, another really popular song is
2NE1?s I AM THE BEST. It has 52 million views. =)
