Gangnam Style

So I HAD to make a post about Gangnam Style! As a Kpop fan, it would be a shame if I did not post it somewhere on here. For those of you who do not know what Gangnam Style is, it is one of the latest songs by Korean singer, Psy. The music video for the song was released on July 15th and went viral in mere days. Just to give you a bit of background on this song, Gangnam is a district within Seoul. It is known as a shopper's paradise as there are several stylish shops and an underground mall in the area.
In the music video, Psy pokes fun at guys trying to pick up girls in the Gangnam area. In the song he repeats
"Oppa, Gangnam style" which translates to "Girls, your big brother is Gangnam style". In Korean, "oppa" directly translates to "big brother", however, girls often will use it as a term of endearment to boys who are close to them like best friends or boyfriends. This video is hilarious and is awesomely random! It's no wonder it has become the summer hit!


Psy also released a follow-up music video to "Gangnam Style" featuring Hyuna. This time, it is more from the girl's point of view. In my opinion, it is nowhere near the level of epicness of the original and not as funny. Many people complain that Hyuna's voice becomes irritating very quickly but she does sound like that for a reason. She is poking fun at girls use aegyo. Aegyo is a term used to describe girls who act cute to attract guys. They will raise the pitch of their voice and behave in a way to make themselves seem helpless and needy. That is the story and Hyuna is sticking to it

What do you think hilariously epic or not so much? If neither does it for you, give this a try:


I Hate Luv Storys

No the title is not a typo nor is me trying to be "cool" by purposely writing with silly spelling errors. It is actually the title of a Bollywood movie- spelling included. "I Hate Luv Storys" is a humorous story of a guy name Jay who claimed to want nothing to do with love. Dating to him was all fun and games until he meets Simran, a girl who loves all things  romance. Thus begins Jay and Simran's love story....
Imran Khan is one of my favorite actors and I was not disappointed with this movie. I had so many laughs watching it- plus the music is fun and catchy, especially the title song. When that song begins I have to get up and dance! I LOVE IT!!


Mil gaye jo chhora chhori, huyi masti thodi thodi/ Bas pyaar ka naam na lena, i hate luv storysWhen a boy and girl meet, there is some fun/ Just don't utter the name of love, I hate love stories
