Asides from being quite totally ridiculous, this viral video does indeed have a good amount of sense and logic to it.
No, PSY (or Park Jaesang) is not half crazy nor is the song/video. He actually wrote and choreographed the whole thing (probably most it) which rarely any artist in S.Korea does (or around the world for that matter).
Throughout the whole video, PSY dances in various settings with his crazy horse-riding dance move, there is actually purpose all the locations (except for the lift and mega hip thrusting guy, which is a rather famous S.Korean personality).
To sum it out short, PSY's song is about
- PSY mocking the current S. Korean working class as they chase after this crazy materialistic dream filled with wealth which only a minority (about 1%, read more about wealth distribution here) of the population enjoys
- Gangnam, a district where the super rich and wealthy reside (and the other 99% of the population dreams to be part of)
- The disparity and gap between the average income earners compared to the ultra rich (kids being handed down billions included) in S. Korea.
- PSY dancing all over riding an imaginary horse.
If you somehow haven't seen the video, its right below with about 54 million views and counting.
