Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, surely you’ve heard the infectious K-pop single by Korean musician Psy. With its catchy tune and rhythm and it’s humorous video and distinctive dance moves, Gangnam Style is definitely THE hit of the late summer of 2012, inspiring numerous memes and flash mobs around the world — including this latest performance by some of Orange County’s social media movers and shakers led by Ted Nguyen @tednguyen and the Veturis sisters @rochelleveturis @haleyveturis @chelseyveturis during opening weekend of Knott’s Scary Farm.
The Story Behind Gangnam Style Flash Mob at Knotts Scary Farm
A flash mob is a group of people who assemble seemingly suddenly in a place and perform a dance, an act, or some kind of number and then disperse. Though our mob numbers were low, the spontaneity of the event at Knotts Scary Farm one night captured the flash mob spirit – Gangnam Style.
