What's Gangnam Style? Who's Psy? Where's Gangnam? (KWOW #65)

[@loopyhawk]

these videos are really helping me in attempting to learn some korean. i'd love to go back someday and i just wanted to say thanks

[@Eun_Sai]

My name is Sai... and when I tell people my name when I meet them, they automatically think that I'm associated somehow with the Gangnam Style MV. A couple of times, I've had people just dance like a horse in front of me and I find it disrespectful. Aigoo~ Me: "I'm Sai." Person: "You mean like-" Me (Interrupts): "No. Just... no."

[@irislyfe]

this video is hilarious , good work!!!

[@ikimus]

I knew a Gangnam Style KWOW was coming and here it is! Thank so much!!! ^.^v

[@minseo2003]

[@DeadShred9]

Your way to F-in cute !!! More dancing with out the costumes would be great 8)

[@GuemJanDiFighting]

my school and i are obsessed with this song!!!!!! i even have a gangnam buddee!!!! >

[@Jezebearable]

I used to love all of Psy's songs except Gangnam Style (cuz it was just soooo overplayed and referenced) but now... thanks to KWOW. Completely new appreciation for Gangnam Style :)

[@tvtoms]

There's an episode of Happy Together with Psy where he talks about his past a bit.. and tries to skip over some of it too, lol. The song Blue Frog is a good one.

[@I_am_Lauren]

I have a friend from Seoul who went to the same Elementary school as Psy. I'm super jealous of her! haha

[@gamer3928]

I didn't know before. Now I know and I shall correct myself.

[@nica1352]

Annyeonghaseyo, Professor Oh! i really like ur videos especially The ones about teaching how to speak and write Korean. it really helped me! May i ask something? i dont know if u already have a video of this.. Does Korea have facebook too?

[@Knuckles_361]

4:43 OMG Grandma! lol

[@braidinplayingirl24]

Can you do a video on what Korean songs you listen to from genres like Indie, Underground Hip Hop, Pop, etc? I got started to K Indie over the summer and kind of want to know more. I think I can write you an encyclopedia on KPOP.

[@HolyWarriorFury]

I like Father and It's Art

[@kpoplover2828]

Thank you soooo much for this, so many new information ...

[@Musiknird]

Kind of fun that Tae Kwon Do mention the Korean mafia. I actually met a couple of ggangpaes in Busan at a restaurant. We talked tattoos, cause I have several bamboo tattoos. We talked about that I was from Sweden and how much they liked Sweden. It ended up with us having BBQ and drinking soju together and they didn't under no circumstances let me pay for it. They were fun guys, but I certainly didn't want any deeper contact with them. But it's a fun and bizarre memory. Lol!

[@sweetandtastyTV]

+Musiknird What a great story! It's a Korean tradition to insist on paying for dinner, especially when there's a guest in town. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@Musiknird]

+sweetandtastyTV Thank you for a great channel! I could probably tell a thousand stories. How I won over my Korean mother I law, due to the fact I'm dating her daughter. But my girlfriend done the biggest work. She is out to her colleagues, friends and family. I'm extremely proud of her, that she had the curage to do that. I just needed to be extremely polite, respectful and a cooked some awesome food for her. I know this is for sure not the norm in Korea. Just wanted to some support and hope, for LGBTQ-people in the same situation. Once again, thank you for an excellent channel! :D

[@Musiknird]

+sweetandtastyTV show some support*

[@chelys2]

lol I'm watching Heavens Garden and when they said Niga 😳 but I bursted out laughing because I was like, Did I hear right🤔😶? thanks for clearing that up.😂🤣

[@fatendaas7944]

I want to go work and study in korea! could you please talk about universities of english and place where we can find a job :) and how much money do we need for study ?

[@maknae97]

I love Jaesuk!! He is my favourite mc!!!!

[@Juggy2403]

I love love love Jaesuk! I watch Running Man every week! I was overly excited and screamed when i saw him in psys video

[@msstephaniexiong]

you're such a great host!

[@Knuckles_361]

8:15 More of Grandma dancing! Yeah!

[@MsChuckles100]

Sometimes they say style with an a sound it sounds like stayla

[@sonmichang7937]

Hey Dr. Oh is Gangnam also the plastic surgery capitol of Korea? I hear there are tons of adds in the subway stations by doctors for plastic surgery with before and after pictures.

[@andrewwalk1370]

Gangnam is kind of like the the hollywood of korea.

[@TheElleAshley]

When I watch K-dramas I notice that they sometimes emphasize some words OR phrases (I am not too sure which b/c I dont know Korean). But I was wondering why and when is it that they do this. I have not been able to figure out if it is a word or a specific reason each time they do. But its like they add a breathy sound coming from the back of the throat and usually make a specific face or movement of their head. Can you tell us the reason for that?

[@fight4sushi]

I was wondering what's up with the korean sounds. Like I know ssssss means that you're thinking. Can you teach us about that? Please?

[@yongchen1906]

I think Niga means you; Negga means "I" or "Me"?

[@yessicacardenas5510]

Im also a big fan of PSY i actually got into kpoo because of him i will forever love him his awesome

[@gingerboy9170]

K-poo?! Seriously 🤣?!

[@ShonzStyle]

y' know Hyuna I say it like Hi - yoo- na but you say it Hion-na Interesting... BTW love your videos! Love Hyuna and 4minute too!

[@daddyrabbit835]

I wanna see bigger versions of the pictures in the background.

[@SharingCriminal]

This video might have been interesting when Gangnam Style was still topical. As it is, you're just beating a dead horse. I miss when this channel used to be educational.

[@maggers2580]

one of my local radio stations was suppose to be sponsoring a korean fest in my city but they never ever played kpop, only Gangnam Style -___- very disappointed

[@jugolic]

clubbing in Gangnam was amazing. I'll never forget it!

[@TriFF51]

Niga can also mean "I" right? Or is that nega?

[@TheCoolgirl4ever1]

You shoul make a video about aliments ,like how to say eggs,meat...etc.

[@mediacoregroupph]

Pelvic Thrust Man is just an coincidental accident.. O.o XD

[@shutefnut4242]

Wow, very interesting back story !

[@sayian2k]

Professor Oh, thanks for the vid and breaking it down for us. YOU ROCK quick compliment you have nice lips, full and shapely

[@gammafighter]

[@Crazypreeteens]

[@katkit6817]

[@frandolinmedina7676]

[@gamerterrycho]

yoo jae suk is funny too.

[@eatmeaters]

Tell them that they are white and that they have no say in the opinion.

[@Shizue19]

thanks, you're amazing teacher :D so creative

[@vermillionbunny]

"Even the aliens are horse dancing." Ha! When I heard this, I thought you meant foreigners living in Korea.

[@PotterGirl1995]

I'd like to know about some places that Profesor Oh would recommend for anyone who visits South Korea to visit ... I mean, I really wanna go to South Korea for my next vacation, but there are so many things that are being recommended, and I don't know what to pick since I can't go everywhere! It would be really great, Profesor Oh!

[@ReaperStrain006]

The way I got my head around the exchange rate between the Korean Won and the Japanese Yen was by comparing them to the USD. In the States, say something costs a $1.00. A quick way of figuring out what the cost is in Yen would be to multiply by 100, since 1 Yen is $0.01. With Won (same $1.00 item), if you want to come to a quick answer, just multiply by 1,000, since 1 Won is around $0.001. If you want to go in reverse with the currency and convert it back just divide (yen - 100); (won - 1,000).

[@pianomusician4life]

I was talking to a korean guy that I tutor and he told me that Gangnam is know for their plastic surgery too. He said that if you see people walking around all covered up with hats, masks, gloves, etc. that means that they just came from the plastic surgery hospital. I've never been to korea so idk if it's 100% true.

[@howtosurviveelectronichara6474]

Koreans are magic dude

[@MadelynAnnMason]

Annyeong

[@Icekuma23Chen]

Informative as always.:)

[@245kenz]

Lol I can't wait for Snack tub But it's sad that I'm going back to my hometown (no Internet access) :( Anw I'll watch all the snack tub next year See ya!

[@TheFluffyMaggie]

Loved it! I've been a fan since a while too & I'm not even Korean but I'm way too proud and happy that PSY introduced kpop to the world and gained a lot of fans. 싸이 오빠 파이팅!

[@SwitchBack1991]

Last two minutes of this video were really nice. You have kinda speak to me. Since two months im a k-pop fan, and that's only music I listen to :D I fell in love with SNSD and they have changed me, they showed me the path and they gave me new dreams, which I'm chasing right now and sometimes it seems to be impossible to achieve as you say, but I know/feel that someday I will live in my dreams. THX you're awesome :)

[@Nokkiwow]

I was so excited when they first played Gangnam Style on American radio, and I was hoping it would lead to more kpop songs being played on the radio, but so far it hasn't happened :< Also if you want to make your ears bleed, the Glee cast if doing a cover of Gangnam Style now.

[@SalvableRuin]

I didn't say information wasn't accessible, and I don't know why people don't know. They are busy, they don't watch entertainment shows, they don't bother to look it up, etc. If people want to know bad enough, they can look it up. But many don't.

[@XNeverShoutZoeX]

hey, what would u recommended for someone learning korean. Am i better off learning phrases and not worrying about how to write or read them or should i learn the phrases but be able to write and read them.

[@TaylorGee]

can you make a video on how to make something plural and/or show possession??? i know people wouldnt say "pabos" if referring to more than one pabo, right? and its wouldnt be "pabo's" either, correct? i'm confuzzled :P

[@1600Awesome]

I have a question I want to be an actor do I have any chances acting in Korea? I know its going to be very difficult Are there any foreigners on TV in Korea even as a small role? I am African american) Please Answer

[@SharingCriminal]

How do people have no idea what it means? It's been discussed to death everywhere. You can easily find more informative Gangnam Style videos elsewhere on KZbin from months ago, when it was something new to talk about.

[@RawrLyss]

I hate in when I try to tell people how to pronounce Gangnam they say "What, did you say condom?" These kids...I swear. They think they are all funny because they "know everything."

[@karenjwaters]

Why was there no mention of his kill all Americans' song? In your suicide show you said it was important to look at the bad side as well as the good aide of something.

[@curatedbyemily]

Same here @SwitchBack1991

[@selenachen7091]

I had no idea you had suk was the yellow jacket guy I guess now why in running man people call him the dance machine

[@WPwholesomeENT]

04:39 look like you from the BAY AREA LOL

[@TheAbigahil]

@sweetandtasty I would like to see a video of manners in Korea.. for example when you are to sit for dinner or when someone goes to ur home. So on...

[@SalvableRuin]

Gangnam Style is still popular. And even if it is less "topical," there are still millions of people listening to it who have no idea what it means.

[@thekudaikev]

I knew the word oppan before spy hits one of my best friends speak korean and she always been calling me oppan hehe thanks for all the info...

[@Wackbizz]

The way people speak, and the way they say something has so much to do about culture and history. Learning language = learning culture.

[@estoeseliine]

The citizens of Gangnam is very much like the citizens of Oslo's best and richest part... Polite by day - Party animals by night!

[@itsbrimand]

I wish you had mentioned that the two 'old guys' playing the game in the background were Seungri and Daesung from Big Bang :)

[@RycoKiramoto]

it has nothing to do with Oppa, but we already learned what's "aigoo" but what about "aish" like "ah shit" or something? : DD

[@7thofmarch200]

The dance tho. 😂😂😂😂

[@Adnilemeus]

Can you do a video about 보다 and how to use it? Maybe how to write it in a sentence....Please help me with this....

[@nafinoru]

what software do u use to edit your videos ? ur videos are all super creative =)

[@MadelynAnnMason]

Hey! Thanks for all the videos.

[@noeljedidiah]

Could you do an episode on how to communicate ideas with a korean hairdresser please? THank you very much :D

[@LiliNguyenx33]

Hyuna from Gangnam Style wasn't include by wonder girls.. they're just look alike with the same name.. O.o

[@HaleyAndSyd]

Maybe for next week you could teach us the Korean words for animal noises..Like meow, bark, moo, boc, etc.

[@DJ_Gallow]

Thanks to this video, I have now watched 압구정날라리 like 1837870191383098 times in the past two days lol

[@DollyLocksable]

-mind blown- didn't know "yoorce willis" was the yellow guy, what with the wig and sunglasses o.o

[@Crafts4UnMe]

Can you do an episode talking about why Koreans always change their hairstyles and dye their hair.

[@ninearthify]

You should have had a 5 second clip of each one of your characters doing the Gangnam style dance :-D

[@Angelwhatsername]

I learned nothing new today :( Guess I pay attention when it's about my oppas, huh? haha :P

[@Denethorable]

Anyone heard the Korea cheer song by Psy? I saw it after Gangnam style... awesome stuff.

[@KolourfulGurl]

My friends mispronounce this word all the time! And I'm like, YOU DON"T EVEN KNOOOOOW :O

[@KoreanWikiProject]

Samsung is in Seocho-gu technically. I think LG is also in Yeouido.

[@sumikoakira1561]

in chinese, there's also a character that read as "nigga" but it means something else

[@TristanCruise]

Did I hear the beginning of a song that Simon and Martina use in their videos? Awesome

[@jeeyukim5941]

i mum used to live in gangnam. my dad lived in the countryside on a farm.... LOL!

[@irishshawol]

can you do like a video about your eye makeup.. it's so pretty

[@TitanicFan1997]

Gangnam Style is super awesome! I danced to this in McDonald's once. My friend, who lives in Seoul told me what the song meant and the song finally made sense.

[@KaeSun1]

Thankyou! I have been to gangnam many times (catch the bus home, stop by bf's hagwon etc) and when my other american friends talk about gangnam style i always feel annoyed having to explain that the song is a comical social commentary and not just gibberish like wierd al. Your detailed explanation can help alot of people who are now curious about psy and S. Korea without feeding the ignorance. Thank you x infinity
