I am unclear of what you are saying here...and I don't have hangul on my mac so I can't respond well. But the 는 usually means like..."is", while the other, in this case, makes Oppa turn into "oppa's". I actually didn't hear it in the video either. Had to read it later lol

I understand the possessive, I just couldn't hear it in the song. I am at the stage of learning where I pronounce 는, 은, 가 .... as separate words rather then endings on the noun.

Try HNC Romaja on your mac, it works by translating English type to Korean. For example type gangnam and the mac writes 강남.

What does Oppa mean in Korean?

 

[Cronnie]

What does Oppa mean in Korean?

Basically something like elder brother, a guy they trust or are close with.

Also, yes, Running Man is awesome.

 

[ElyrionX]

Saw this for the first time over the weekend despite living in Asia. The song is utter shit and the techno is horrendous but that music video is amazing. So creative.

 

[captainnapalm]

Saw it the other day. The video really pops, great visual flair and energy, irreverent and funny, not a fuck given. The pop techno has a nice buildup and chorus. Not surprised it's a hit, really.

100 million views? Goddamn.

When I'm in a bad mood, I often put this video on. It can reliably cheer me up and make me laugh. I must have watched it at least 20-30 times by now.

Best moments:
- The two old dudes getting blown up.
- The elevator door opening (I always lose it at this part).
- The second chorus with the orange-haired girl dancing.

Damn straight....anytime I'm feeling down I just watch this, it just cracks me up. I watched/listened to it so many times and I'm still not sick of it

This is why, which i said before. Its unfortunate that the first k-pop song to breakthrough in USA had to be a LMFAO meets Ken Jeong story.

What is some good K-Pop in your opinion that doesn't fit the more humourous slant of something like this?

Always been curious, but I'm woefully ignorant of Asian pop music (was pretty much nonexistent among my friends growing up in London).

Hmm, if you're looking for something that sounds similar to Gangnam Style I'd say look up Big Bang or 2NE1 on Youtube, particularly their earlier stuff. That should be a good starting point.

Leessang. Kpop/hiphop/soul/whatever.

Watching Running Man will teach you that Gary (half of Leessang) is the coolest man on Earth.

Live in LA (the female guest vocalist, JungIn, is so good. Just so good).

Clazziquai - Fill This Night

Delispice - Missing You

Some of the diversity that k-pop has to offer. If you're not really into straight up pop music these would be more your style.

 

[Keikaku]

This song is serious business: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDJXgiUe_EM

 

[Tacitus_]

Her voice ruins the song.

Well yes, it's intentional. Huyna doesn't sing like that usually, it's playing on the 'gangman girl' stereotype (afaik, anyway).

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

random house beat and a few word in english = 50mil viewers. Yes, and how about the dumb song "I'm sexy and i know it" of your asshole usa? You have a point in your comment, you right, arguining with americans so pointless, because you guy are really stupid, or jerk, or asshole, or whatever.......
By the way, i'm not Korean, i'm Asian, and i have a last word for you, FUCK OFF BITCH...

Jesus. Just witness this. What a way to fall.

That said, I love this song!

 

[Oreoleo]

I think he was quoting a Youtube comment. I find it amusing that people can't tell the difference between that and his normal tired shtick, though.

Conspiracy theory: He posted that on Youtube and then quoted it here to get away with it... D:

Delispice - Missing You

This reminds me, I absolutely loved Chau Chau.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

This reminds me, I absolutely loved Chau Chau.

Yeah, Chau Chau is also good. Delispice is just ridiculously talented.

I think Always Keep the Engine Running is my favorite track of theirs though.

I think when Psy comes to the US people are going to be blown away by how well he speaks English. He's barely got an accent whatsoever.

 

[CountAntonius]

I need Power 96 playing this! SoFla Gaf, assemble!

Yoshi Ono?

 

[travisbickle]

He studied music at an American University.

 

[Kinyou]

I support every dance move that involves lots of jiggling.

 

[Puddles]

The baby blue shorts at 1:37 are flawless.

 

[broadwayrock]

Any who liked Gangnam Style should check out..

DJ DOC's 'I'm a Man like This'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmVbF_FVkzw

It was written by Psy and they're the group in kpop that are most similar to him musically.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

He studied music at an American University.

Yeah, Berklee as I recall. Still, I've met a lot of people who studied in the US but who still had a crazy thick accent. I'm always surprised when I hear him talk.

[Puddles]

Can we organize a campaign to make this the #1 viewed video of all time?

I think Beiber is in the lead with 776 million views. We just need to keep this video going for a few months, and that record will fall.

Have ever heard Lee Byung-hun speak English?

 

[Wafflecakes]

Just discovered this on youtube. Amazing.....can't stop replaying.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Yes, but I'm still extremely pissed off at him for stealing our dream girl.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I try not to think about it...

 

[Tristam]

You mean like Community? Except this video is actually funny.



I am unclear of what you are saying here...and I don't have hangul on my mac so I can't respond well. But the 는 usually means like..."is", while the other, in this case, makes Oppa turn into "ppa's". I actually didn't hear it in the video either. Had to read it later lol

Eh? The Possessive particle is 의...of course there are possessive pronouns as well like 내, 니, 우리, etc. 는 functions as a topic particle and is also used when conjugating to the low formal present (e.g., 먹는&#45796....not sure how it can represent an auxiliary verb.

Psy is on stage at the VMAs with Kevin Hart!

 

[MidnightCowboy]

After much putting off, I finally watched the video and it's as good as everybody has said. And I normally hate music videos. My favorite part is the elevator part. I couldn't stop laughing.

 

[J-Rzez]

Posted? Not as good as "The PSYing" but still good.

This is possibly the best video ever made.

Posted in the cosplay thread ... but this version of the video made in Dragon Con is awesome !

 

[Radec]

I just saw the vid, and wow it's pretty hilarious.

Anyone got a gif of the raining white thing part? <3 it.

 

[Wafflecakes]

For sure. Only discovered it a couple days ago.....gone up 30 million views since then and the rate is still increasing. Could be huge.

lol..

 

[Wafflecakes]

lol..

Ya 130 million is big...not huge yet.

Huge is 400 million +

 

[Ashhong]

I judge it more based on popularity in culture, not Youtube. When you have various celebs tweeting it and dancing to it every week, it's huge imo.

 

[Macmanus]

This is the most popular thing in the world now.

When did the world get a sense of humor?
