Gangnam style achieved world domination, so to speak. Korean rapper, dancer, record producer PSY was the speak of the town—so we decided to switch it up, turn it over to talented kids and put a Singaporean spin to it for Children’s Day. An original theAsianparent.com production, our Super Kancheong Style video was a talk of the nation. We even had a special mention by our PM Lee!
