The
South
Korean
dance
track
____________________
posted
online
in
July
,
pushing
pop
star
Psy
to
worldwide
fame
.
The
fact
that
so
many
people
continued
to
post
____________________
own
versions
of
Gangnam
Style
had
played
a
huge
part
in
the
clip's
success
.
It
has
actually
inspired
hundreds
of
copycat
clips
,
from
members
of

Psy's
success
shows
the
universal
appeal
of
catchy
music
and
the
great

riding
dance
moves
"
Gangnam
Style
"
refers
to
a
lifestyle
associated
____________________
the
Gangnam
District
of
Seoul
,
where
people
are
trendy
,
and
hip
and
chase
after
image
,
good
looks
,
success
and
money

they

Many
in
the
Korean
community
____________________
left
scratching
their
heads
as
to
why
this
song
became
so
popular
outside
of
the
country
.
Perhaps
what
Psy
brought
is
the
Eastern
ideal
of
connection
.
One
aspect
of
South
Korean
culture
is
that
you
are
made
to
feel
that
you
are
a
part
of
a
bigger
whole
,
that
you
belong
.
There
is
a
Korean
idea
called
"
Jeong
"
____________________
means
having
a
deep
and
meaningful
connection
or
bond
.
It
is
not
a
feeling
or
an
action
,
but
it
describes
the
space
between
two
or
more
people
.
Looking
at
the
copycat
Gangnam
videos
,
it
is
clear
that
people
are
connected
____________________
a
joyful
spirit
of
unity
and
are
not
shy
about
looking
silly
.
When
given
the
opportunity
maybe
we
all
want
to
get
____________________
an
imaginary
horse
and
join
the
fun
.
