"Mom, you're saying it wrong." My 12 year old was correcting my pronunciation of Gangnam. You know, the video that took the world by storm. The viral Korean music video that has gotten billions of hits.
"How do I say it then?" I asked.
"It's Gang Nam. Like your tooth has "gone numb". You say it Gone Numb."
"Uh okay "gone numb." Got it. But then which syllable do you accentuate?"
"I donno. Let me check the video... It's GONE numb."
"Okay so I'll say it GONE numb."
I took out all the laugher from the conversation so that you can understand our silly banter without sarcasm.
So difficult to communicate with the next gen. I just got a lesson in Korean!
But I figured if you're like me, you'll need to lesson so that you can fit in with the teens in your life. LOL
Tip: Lower your speaker volume before you hit play.
