With 4.4 billion views literally more than half the planet has seen this:
Over five million comments. I’m sure there were people in the rest of the world who knew about Korean pop music even in 2012 but Gangnam Style was still very much a novelty hit wasn’t it, driven by the video and dance more than the song itself. Hard to not see the phenomonal success of it, the first video to break a billion views on Youtube as opening the way for Korean pop music and pop culture in general to be accepted in the west. Every so often I find myself watchhing the video again and every time it’s still as good as the first time I watched it.
