    I've been hearing this song for the past few weeks because so many people here have it set as their ringtone, but I just thought of looking it up on youtube today. The video is a fucking trip and apparently it's gone viral outside of Korea as well. Check it out if you haven't already.

    Awesome! Gangnam was just kitty-corner across the Han River from my neighborhood, Yongsan. That whole south side of the river is the most newly developed in Seoul.

    BTW was there a sample from "Pump Up The Jam" sprinkled throughout the song? It sounded like it.

    Could have done without him sitting on the toilet, but it could be worse considering they squat over holes in the floor in some occasions. This guy seems to cool to squat!

    Fascinating.

    I've never seen or met a South Korean girl that was overweight/obese.

    They're all rail thin. Must be the nori and all the vegetables?

    You'll never see an overweight/obese North Korean girl either.

    You may see a few when their leader and his bride start pumping out some kids.

    Check the Hongdae Burger King at midnight on a Saturday. Lot's of fatties drowning their social sorrows. I'm talkin' 100kg obese.

    It sucks being the fat girl in any country, but Korea is particularly vain and generally thin (as noted). I feel particularly bad for them.
