Dangun adopts 'Gangnam Style'

Would Dangun, the legendary founder of Korea, have listened to Gangnam Style, the Korean rap song that has turned into a massive global hit? The Grand Festival for Hongik (Humanitarianism) Republic of Korea, or the 5th Go Korea, Korea Healing Festival, took place at Sejongno Park in central Seoul Wednesday on the occasion of National Foundation Day. Participants in the festival wear Dangun masks and hold up national flags on both hands. They also dance the horseriding dance to the tune of "Gangnam Style", staging a commemorative parade.
