true pronounce of gangname style. they pronounce it "gaengnam style".. it is wrong.. it is "ga ang. nam. style".. how do you sound "gang"? you sound it like "gaeng". but "gang"(name) is different from "gang." it is "ga ang nam". you should see the korean character "강". it is "ga+ah+e-ng". so it is right to say "ga ang nam". they translated it wrong. it should be "gaangnam style" not gangnam style. i am korean but i really hate the way how most koreans use english. it sounds like gang, mafia not "ga ang". "ga ang" means river. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca56lqIZXqE if you watch this video, they sound it "gang-nam style". it sounds exactly like gang which means mafia and bad people. it should be ga ang name style. i know "ga ang" seems very long. but western people can't pronounce 강 properly. they pronounce 강 like 갱, 겡. 강 is different from 갱,겡. but western people don't know 강 and 갱. but actually. if you see the text... 강 is ㄱ + ㅏ + ㅇ g + ah + e-an it is ga ang. (or gahang?) this korean dictionary site has voice. http://krdic.naver.com/search.nhn?dicQuery=%EA%B0%95&x=11&y=18&query=%EA%B0%95&target=krdic&ie=utf8&query_utf=&isOnlyViewEE= http://endic.naver.com/search.nhn?&searchOption=all&query=gang i wrote this article in english but this is about south korea.
