摘要

时值隆冬，气温勉强高于零度。街道冰冷，但首尔却充满了活力。这种文化已经适应了加热的炕地板、热气腾腾的麻辣火锅和地下购物中心。胖乎乎的说唱歌手鸟叔(Psy)(目前是仅次于潘基文(Ban Ki Moon)的韩国人，在世界上的知名度第二高)每次都和我见面。他在公共汽车上咧着嘴笑，在巨大的电视屏幕上小跑，在城市里所有商店门前的纸板剪纸上沾沾自喜。春天来了，与朝鲜的紧张关系也来了，但在1月下旬，江南(汉江以南一个耀眼的地区)传来了一种由心理引起的嗡嗡声。不久以前，这个地区主要是稻田。如今，Psy在YouTube上的音乐视频大热(点击量达15亿，还在不断攀升)，江南区因其暴发户的抱负而备受追捧。“Gangnam风格”。因此，我离开了首尔北部的宫殿、宽阔的林荫大道、画廊和古色古香的茶馆，去看看这一切到底是怎么回事。

South of the border

It's midwinter and the temperature barely rises above zero. The streets are icy but Seoul buzzes with a brisk energy. The culture has adapted heated ondol floors, steaming spicy hotpots and underground shopping malls. Psy, the chubby rapper (and currently the second-most famous South Korean in the world after Ban Ki Moon), meets me at every turn. He's grinning from the side of buses, trotting on giant TV screens and smugly immortalised on cardboard cutouts fronting shops all over the city. Spring is coming and so are tensions with North Korea, but in late January there's a Psy-induced buzz emanating from Gangnam, a glitzy precinct south of the Han River. Not long ago this area was mostly rice fields. Now Gangnam is being celebrated for its nouveau-riche aspirations in Psy's YouTube music video hit (1.5 billion views and climbing) 'Gangnam Style'. So I have left the palaces, wide boulevards, galleries and quaint tea shops of northern Seoul to see what all the fuss is about.
