Oppa Gangnam Style

"Gangnam Style" is a 2012 K-pop single by the South Korean rapper PSY. "Gangnam Style" is widely praised for its humor, catchy rhythm as well as Psy's unusual dance moves that have introduced many people to K-pop. First released on July 15, 2012, it entered the Gaon Chart singles chart at number one upon release and is the most viewed K-pop song on YouTube.

"Gangnam Style" is a Korean language colloquialism that refers to a luxurious lifestyle associated with the Gangnam district, an affluent and trendy area of Seoul. Gangnam style is since widely associated with the posh lifestyle in Seoul, South Korea's district where people are trendy, hip and exude a certain "swag'". In an interview, PSY compares Gangnam to Beverly Hills, California. 
The music video depicts Psy dancing at various locations in Gangnam. The song is about "the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild."
A literal translation of "오빤 강남 스타일 (Oppan Gangnam seutail)" is "(I) Oppa Is Gangnam Style".  The Korean word 오빠 (oppa) means "a female's elder brother" but can be also used as a first-, second- or third-person masculine pronoun to designate a male who is elder or older than a female. Based on more recent cultural norms, the term has typically been used to refer to a boyfriend or male spouse. It is used as a first-person pronoun in this phrase. 오빤 (oppan) is an abbreviation of 오빠는 (oppaneun). is a topic marker, which in this case means the implied subject of the sentence is the singer (오빠). The verb "to be" is omitted, as is often the case in such short Korean sentences. Thus the literal translation of "Oppan Gangnam style" is "Your big brother [is] Gangnam Style".
The lyrics are by Psy, music by Psy and Yoo Gun-hyung, and it was arranged by Yoo Gun-hyung, who is a well-known producer in South Korea and also collaborated with Psy in the past.
Gangnam Style was officially re-released on August 14, 2012 as "Oppa Is Just My Style" (Korean: 오빤 스타일), featuring additional vocals provided by South Korean singer and 4minutemember Hyuna. Oppa Is Just My Style is the interpretation of the original "Gangnam Style" from a woman's perspective. The accompanying music video has managed to garner over 25 million views in its first 3 weeks after its upload onto YouTube.
