Driving in Korea #2 Gangnam (Sinsa-dong garosu-street)

What is Gangnam Style?

If you haven't heard about Gangnam Style, then you must be living under a rock. This viral video by Psy has more than 1,000 million views on YouTube since its release in July. This overnight sensation has taken the world by storm. It seems that people around the world just can't get enough of its catchy beats and goofy horse-riding dance moves.

What is Gangnam? Gangnam refers to an affluent neighborhood in Seoul. In an interview, Psy described Gangnam Style as noble in the daytime and crazy at night.

Today, we going to have a short trip around Gangnam area in Seoul. If we just drive around Gangnam, you might be bored. So we decided to seduce women around this area by the nice car.

This video was taken at Garosu street, Sinsa-dong (small area of Gangnam). And you will see Korea women's fashion style and view of Gangnam street through this video. I hate materialism, but it's true that this video is a real fun.




There are a lot of world-famous goods in Gangnam, But you would better to go Cheongdam-dong to find more luxurious and rare products, and better to come Sinsa-dong if you want to enjoy the life style of young people in Korea. These 2 areas are the core of Gangnam. Let's walk along Sinsa-dong garosu-street.

Let's take a look at the cafes on Sinsa-ding Garosu-Gil (Sinsa-dong Tree lined street) We are going to begin our trip from Sinsa subway station gate no.8
