Seoul. Even
North Korea is paying attention to PSY's globally popular "Gangnam
Style" song and the South Korean rapper's memorable horse-riding dance.
The North
has posted a video on its official Uriminzokkiri website of a horse-dancing PSY
character that has a photo of conservative South Korean presidential candidate
Park Geun-hye's face transposed on it.
The lyrics
have the character satirically defending Park's late dictator father, Park
Chung-hee.
Park is a
front-runner in polls ahead of December presidential elections. But she has
faced liberal criticism that she hasn't adequately addressed her father's
legacy.
Park
Chung-hee was a harsh autocrat. But he is seen by supporters as an important
factor in South Korea's economic rise from the Korean War.
The
original "Gangnam Style" video has 220 million YouTube views and
counting.
