An array of public figures, including the Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei, the sculptor Anish Kapoor, and UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon have copied his "horse riding" dance. Tribute videos include a parody by students from Eton, which has been viewed more than 2.7m times.
Furthermore, Barack Obama promised to perform the dance for Michelle at the White House.
In October Gangnam Style became the first Korean song to top the official UK pop chart.
Earlier this month the rapper was awarded one of South Korea's highest cultural honours, the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit, in recognition of his global success.
