The song was written by Psy with the idea of parodying the flamboyance, narcissism, and ostentatious wealth he felt had become prevalent in the newly rich country. Ironically, Psy was from the Gangnam district himself, born Park Jae-sung in 1977 to an affluent family. He had quit his studies at Boston University to dedicate himself to music and had already established himself as a rapper known for his comedy, irreverence, and controversy.
