For a little over a month now, K-Pop sensation Psy’s Gangnam Style has been carving its way to the top of charts and recently dethroned Carly Rae Jepson and Justin Beiber on the YouTube 100 Chart. How? As the most viewed current video, when it broke 100 000 000 views. However, there’s more to the song, and its origins, than the chubby Korean doing his crazy horse dance.
Neo Mammalian Studios, a UK-based design studio, broke down and analysed each part of the viral sensation and then kindly repackaged it in this awesome, easy to consume infographic. It compares Psy, and the label he’s signed to, to their international counterparts, measures the social impact of the song and video, and takes a relatively in-depth look at the Seoul district that inspired it all.
