Hyundai Dealer Creates Gungnam Style Ad

Korea is known for two things in this world: cars, Gungnam Style, soaps and a big war. OK, that’s four things, but only the first two are really important and at the same time relevant for this story.
Parkway Hyundai in Valencia California has decided the best way to sell Hyundais is to associate them with rap sensation PSY and his hit single Gungnam Style, which is the only clip on Youtube to rack up nine zeros. Yes, a billion.

The brazen use of protected material will likely get punished at some point, but for now we can enjoy the Parkway Hyundai Style ad, which is quite amazing, in a silly sort of way. The clip got 12,000 since December 19th, 2012, which is a lot for a dealer promo. Let’s just hope the lawsuit doesn’t cost more than what they’re going to make on that new Santa Fe.
