Gangnam Style

Lets just quickly start off with the "World Famous music video" of Gangnam Style

First of all, Gangnam Style, was the biggest shock of 2012, currently hitting more than 1.2 billion views on Youtube. When this song first came out, as a Korean who understands all the lyrics, it was just so addictive and I couldn't stop listening to this song. However, I did NOT expect this song to become so worldwide famous. Some of the scenes in the music video can be noticed very easily when you walk down the streets of Korea, but not really seen in other parts of the world such as public sauna where Psy stares at a naked guy with tattoos. Also, the two noticeable figures in this video are the guys known as "The Yellow Guy" and "The Elevator Guy". Interesting fact that most foreigners do not know is that these guys are really famous comedians in Korea. And I mean REALLY. What's more! These two guys actually performed with Psy in the "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve"!!

Koreans All around?!

This blog is going to talk about the KOREANS all over the world!
Understanding the fact that more people know or are eager to know more about Korea after the "Gangnam Style Syndrome", I will be posting some interesting facts about some famous Korean people, or more likely celebrities who are working in various fields in various places.
