Psy dropped “Gentleman”, his follow up to “Gangnam Style” this morning. There’s a bunch of stuff happening in the new video that will leave you scratching your head. Things like that hip thrusting dance and the mobile phone game shown on an iPhone. (Samsung diss?).
1.The dance.
The dance is borrowed from K Pop girl group Brown Eyed Girls from a song/video called “Abracadabra”. See gif below.
2. The hot girl.
The hot girl in the video’s gym scene is a member of Brown Eyed Girls. Her name is Ga-In and she has a solo career in K Pop, too.
3. The mobile game in the video.
The video game in the video is called Candy Crush Saga, available on iPhone and Android phones. Its blatant product placement but so is most hip-hop.
4.WTF is Psy singing?
English

5. Those pants.
Harem pants or drop crotch pants, moved up from streetwear to formal wear in a heartbeat. We saw them alot last fall and in Psy’s “Gangnam” video. Even on stage with MC Hammer. Hammer is often credited with the look but his look was baggier and flouncy. Psy’s look is less dramatic. The waist is high but the inseam is lower. As part of a suit or tux, its kinda interesting when paired with loafers or a leather jacket. See the Nigel Sylvester look below; this style isn’t going anywhere soon.
