Finally! We've been saying it since August (when we pinpointed the locations from the music video), but finally Seoul Tourism is using Psy's "Gangnam Style" song to advertise the capital city as a fun tourist destination.
The last few days have seen the introduction of a tourism board video that mimics Psy's dance moves, but splices in mini-interviews with foreigners in Seoul as they deliver one-word descriptions of the district of Gangnam-gu, the most fitting of which we'd say is "trend." Not gonna say "toldnya so," but yeah—we kind of did.
Watch the video above, which gives a far better idea of Gangnam than Psy's video, the bulk of which wasn't even filmed in Gangnam. Then book a trip, because why not? One of Jaunted's contributors is there right now, eating sweets from a bakery named "Gentle Lady Cupcake" and sleeping at a hotel simply named "Jelly." On one of our own visits to Seoul, we even got one of the coolest haircuts of our life for $15. Time for a trim? We think so!
