Probably a must do for some but personally not a K-pop fan, so just happened to stumbled across the display while walk around the COEX area. There are other equally interesting sculptures along the sidewalk. Too bad the video and music panel next to it was faulty otherwise could have been a better experience. Nevertheless there was still good size crowd wanting to take their photos in the iconic pose. So be prepared as things can get messy with people jumping queue or ‘photo bombing’ your shots. So if anyone happens to be around the neighborhood or is a big fan of the whole K-pop culture why not.

Gangnam Style is an iconic moment in contemporary Korea. What started as a parody of Seoul upper class life turns out to be a perfect demonstration of Korean soft power. This bronze statue, while deliberately omitted the portrayal of its controversial composer PSY, marks the triumph of Korean pop music. K-pop fans can't miss it.

The statue is just outside the east doors of Coex Mall and near Bongeunsa metro station. People queue to pose with the statue but are usually quite quick. When we went in December there were only about five people in front of us. Plan to spend about 5 minutes here and more if you're visiting the Coex Mall.

A great 5 minute stop. When we visited there were only a few groups of people so you didn't wait long. It was fun to watch others enjoying themselves! The Coex mall nearby is absolutely HUGE with lots of places to eat and shopping.

Gangnam just outstanding place of Seoul and it never sleps. Gagnam Style Statue proves it. Very impressive, clean and inspiring one! I danced even there when Psy sang .... oooo sexy leydyyy .

Probably everyone has at least a passing knowledge of Gangnam Style by style. The Koreans have gone a step further by creating a huge golden statue of the unique hand gesture from the song. Gangnam Style!
