Gangnam Meaning

In Korean, Gang means river, and nam is South. So Gangnam literally means 'South of the River'.

However, the meaning of Gangnam style is 'cool style' as Gangnam is the part of Seoul that which has gone through high development in the past few decades and now some of the richest people live there.

Rapper PSY's song, Gangnam style is more a parody of the rich from the area who are high-spending, but considered self-interested.
