I think there's a song by a North Korean singer called gangnam style.

 

 

I'm familiar with the song from Psy who is South Korean (who isn't?). 

 

I still have fuck all idea what the thread title means though

I always thought he was North Korean but he is South Korean. I'm sure the North tried to stop him as they saw as offensive in Korea. Like killing your own family isn't.

 

Other than that, I've got nothing.

If you look back to the opening post of the thread this is about North Korea’s nuclear testing, which it has always been quite feisty about.

 

The song, Gangnam Style, is about a South Korean falling for a woman on a subway train and getting all excited and prancing around on a pretend invisible horse to show how excited he is.

 

One can, therefore, extrapolate, that the thread title alludes to North Korea getting all excited about it’s nuclear testing. You may now rest easy and enjoy the thread.

I thought Gangnam was a part of Korea that is upmarket? Anyway I am happy to take your interpretation, thanks

Has anyone translated the lyrics of the song to get a deeper meaning?

Link here to a stream of the state TV channel. It's always interesting to watch. Yesterday I saw premier League football followed by a montage of farmers looking wistfully at soldiers.
