Gangnam Style is a song by the South Korean pop artist PSY. By the end of October 2012, the song reached the number one position online in 33 countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Although its reception in Japan remained lukewarm, the song topped China' s Baidu 500 download list. 
“Gangnam Style" has become a new Korean expression that refers to a lifestyle in the Gangnam district of Seoul, where people are trendy and modern. The term was listed in Time's weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with luxurious lifestyles in Gangnam district of Seoul. PSY said in an interview that he had a sense of humor by pretending to be “ Gangnam Style" when everything about the song, dance, looks, and the music video is far from being high class.
People who are actually from Gangnam never think that they are. So this song is actually tea- sing(讽刺）such people as are keen to be famous, saying that they are “Gangnara Style”，but in fact they are showy and silly.
In the song，“ Oppan Cangnam style ” has been translated as “ Big brother is Gangnam style”，with PSY referring to himself, “Oppa”，a Korean expression used by females to refer to an older male friend or older brother, which is also used by Korean-Pop fans to address their K- pop idols.
PSY added that his Korean fans have very large expectations about his dancing, so he felt a lot of pressure. In order to keep up with expectations, he stayed up late for about 30 nights to come up with the “Gangnam Style” dance. Along the way, he had tested various animal-inspired dance moves, including panda and kangaroo moves, before settling for the horse，which involves pretending to ride a horse.
