Since going live, Gangnam Style by K-pop musician Psy has garnered numerous hits on Youtube, and the world's appetite for the song and its music video has shown no sign of waning. Across the Internet, viewers have found endless ways to riff on the song, posting everything from reaction videos to elaborate parodies of the original video. Wall Stree Journal even wrote an article about 5 Must-See 'Gangnam Style' Response Videos.
One the five must-see videos are Pyongyang Style. This video pairs the music of Gangnam Style with a visual mashup of footage from a North Korean military parade along with where Kim Jong-il waves his hand.
Although North Korea is showing signs of change and economic reforms, this is all to stabilize the Kim Jong-un regime by ease the dissatisfaction of the North Korean people. However, North Korea's reform methods are different from the ones implemented by Socialist countries, mainly the Eastern European countries. The economic reform by North Korea is very distinct that it is sometimes referred to as 'Pyongyang Style' reform, so I believe that it is a bit too early to jump to conclusions and claim that North Korea indeed is changing.
