Gangnam - what is it?

1. A Korean song written by Korean singer Psy.

2. "Gangnam" means "south(nam) of the river(gang)" in Korean. In this song, the "river(gang)" is the Han River, which penetrates the City of Seoul, capital of South Korea. The northern part of Seoul(gangbuk) has been the capital of Korea since the early 15th century. Development of Gangnam and expansion of Seoul started in 1970s. Gangnam is the icon of the rapid economic development of South Korea in 1970s and 80s. Mostly benefited from skyrocketing real estate price followed by planned economic development, Gangnam has become the most wealthy area in the entire South Korea. "Gangnam" is being regarded as the place where people are rich, girls are pretty and everything is supposed to be cool.

I'm not rich enough to have fun in Gangnam Style.

Gangnam

One who isn't afraid to express their inner feelings for Korea and dance to Gangnam-style in public for their own pleasure.

Yesterday, Phill expressed his feelings for Korea by way of dance at the dinner table. What a Gangnamer.

Gangnam

The act of dressing up nice to get away with yelling at woman's butts.

The other day I was just trying to shoo all the geese away from the park and there was a yoga class nearby. It must have looked like I was gangnamming to passer-bys.
