Needless to Korean language skills to enjoy horse riding styles PSY dance with the chorus song is memorable, and even trended echoed that.
However, behind the song that sounds funny and ridiculous that there is a new narrative about the rich people in South Korea and Gangnam, name prosperous district where most of them live. Gangnam Seoul may be just a small piece, but it raises the mix of passion, jealousy and bitterness.
Gangnam is currently the most coveted address in Korea. However, less than two generations ago the region contains only abandoned houses surrounded by flat farmland and drainage ditches.
Gangnam District, which means "south of the river ', occupied only about 1 percent of the total population of Seoul, but almost all of them are rich.
Apartments in Gangnam average worth about 716,000 U.S. dollars (USD 6.8 billion). It takes about 18 years for an average family in the South to collect money.
During this power center of government and business in Seoul is located in the north of the Han River, in the area around the royal palace. That's where the rich people live longer.
