This document discusses the viral success of Psy's "Gangnam Style" music video on YouTube and social media in 2012.

The document advocates constructing a sustainable system combining content, social media, cultural cooperation, and mass media support.
The document discusses South Korea's analog switch off (ASO) which was originally planned for 2010 but was delayed until December 31, 2012. It notes some benefits of the digital TV transition including high definition resolutions up to 1080i, multi-channel capabilities, and interactive content. It then discusses how smart TVs can enhance the TV viewing experience and enable a "lean-forward" interaction model compared to traditional "lean-back" TV. Smart TVs will access content through apps rather than full web browsing and good user experience (UX) design will be key to realizing the full potential of smart TVs beyond just television viewing.
