Popularity of the Lavish Lifestyle in South Korea’s Gangnam District
People around the world became familiar with the South Korean word Gangnam after Korean singer-songwriter Psy’s “Oppa Gangnam Style” music video broke the Internet. At the height of the popularity of Psy’s video, it garnered more than 2 billion views, which exceeded the 32-bit integers of YouTube’s counter. The system had to be upgraded in order to properly keep track of the number.
Psy wrote the song as a way of humously mimicking the stylish and ostentatious lifestyle of the rich kids of wealthy families belonging to the super-rich Gangnam District of South Korea, a.k.a. The Beverly Hills of Seoul. Twelve years after Psy’s satirical song debuted on YouTube, the number of views recorded to date has reached more than 5 billion.
Lavish Lifestyle or Not, Seoul’s Gangnam District is Vulnerable to Adverse Climate Conditions
The extreme weather brought about by climate change has made the low lying areas of Gangnam District vulnerable to disastrous floods. Consultants submitted reports describing the district’s faulty drainage system, which they cited as the reason why Seoul’s Gangnam District was unable to handle the deluge of rain water that led to high level flooding.
As a plan of action, Seoul authorities revived a $1.15 billion plan to upgrade and improve the entire city’s drainage system.
