What's Up With Gangnam Ice?
When we think of the words Gangnam Ice, we usually envision a young Korean boy wearing a sleeveless dress, performing a choreographed dance on the streets of Seoul. The song, a remake of the old classic by the same name, is one of the most recognizable hits in recent memory. However, despite its popularity, there's a lot more to the song than meets the eye.
PSY's Gangnam Style
In 2012, South Korean rapper and pop star Psy exploded onto the scene with his viral hit, Gangnam Style. The song has gone on to become one of the world's most popular videos of all time and it also happens to be the first video to have crossed the billion view count on YouTube.
Since then, the song has been played hundreds of thousands of times daily. It even played a role in raising the profile of South Korea. This is despite the fact that Psy himself has never sought fans outside his native country. He uses his P-Nation record label to promote new South Korean acts.
The video itself is a satirical song about the upscale neighborhood of Seoul called 강남아이스. The song is sung by a rotund man who prancing around like a horse.
The song is meant to bring people together. Psy is actually a satirical version of himself, but the song did have its share of controversy.
HyunA's latest single
HyunA has a new single called "Ice Cream" that is getting a lot of hype in the Korean music world. The song has a unique twist on the traditional hip-hop pop sound. It has an enticing dance beat, and it features pitchy vocals and a catchy rap.
As for the music video, it's pretty jaw-dropping. With a colorful and neon-hued world, big fizzing synths, and a bunch of innuendos, the song tries to outdo its predecessors.
The video is a tad over the top, though. Some of the shots are a little too outlandish, and there's a few oddball references to modern-day Miley Cyrus.
In the grand scheme of things, the video doesn't really advance the point of the song. The ice cream truck scene is more like a metaphor for the music video as a whole.
But the video does a few things that the song itself doesn't. For starters, it includes a cameo by the rapper Psy. He also wrote and co-produced the track, which is great to see.
