Yes, of Course 'Gangnam Style' was part of the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony
Ay, sexy ladies (and fellas, we don’t discriminate here): “Gangnam Style” was very much a part of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. Psy’s huge crossover hit was appropriately played during the American athletes’ Parade of Nations entrance.
The international pop smash’s corresponding dance was simultaneously performed by the ring of dancers on the South Korean stadium centerstage, who looked like they enjoyed the welcome break from their regular routine.
For the most part, U.S. Twitter seemed to dig the moment. Check out some reactions from the social media platform below.
