#720 Gangnam Style Sculpture

Gangnam Style Sculpture, Seoul, South Korea

About this stone

This place is home to a giant golden sculpture frozen in PSY's iconic horse-riding dance pose—a vibrant tribute to the global phenomenon that was Gangnam Style. Unveiled in 2015, the monument celebrates how the 2012 hit single brought international attention to the Gangnam district and became a symbol of South Korea's outsized influence on global pop culture. Situated right in front of a major shopping mall, it's become one of the city's quirkiest and most Instagram-worthy landmarks, drawing visitors eager to recreate the famous dance move alongside the gleaming hands. A penguin stone awaits discovery here, a small and whimsical companion to this larger-than-life cultural marker.
