North Korea has made a parody of the South Korean music video phenomenon "Gangnam Style" to attack the South’s ruling conservative party presidential candidate Park Geun-Hye.
北韓改編南韓當紅的「江南Style」音樂錄影帶，來攻擊南韓執政保守黨的總統候選人朴槿惠。
The parody, posted on the official government website Uriminzokkiri, shows a crudely photo-shopped image of Park doing the "horse-riding dance" created by South Korean rapper Psy on the original "Gangnam Style" video.
北韓改編的影片張貼在政府網站「我們民族」，經過電腦修改、粗製濫造的朴槿惠影像正在跳南韓饒舌歌手Psy在原版「江南Style」錄影帶創造的「騎馬舞」。
The North Korean version mocks Park as a devoted admirer of the "Yushin" system of autocratic rule set up by her father, Park Chung-Hee, after he seized power in South Korea in a 1961 military coup.
北韓版的影片嘲弄朴槿惠是「維新」體系的忠實支持者，維新體制是由朴槿惠的父親朴正熙在1961年南韓軍事政變後掌權時所創立。
"I’m Yushin style!," read a subtitle under the image of the dancing Park.The implied message is a sensitive one, with Park under pressure to denounce the excesses of her father’s 18-year rule, which laid the foundations for the country’s economic rise but was marked by systematic human rights abuses.
「我是維新Style！」朴槿惠的影像跳舞時，底下出現這樣的字幕。其中隱含的訊息相當敏感，朴槿惠為了是否譴責她父親執政18年施政過當而承受壓力，朴正熙執政時為南韓的經濟成長奠下根基，但也因有系統地侵害人權而留下污名。
Psy’s "Gangnam Style" video went viral soon after being posted on YouTube in mid-July and has since racked up more than 200 million views, sending the song to the top of the US iTunes Chart.（AFP）
