Gangnam Style issopopularthatnumerouscelebritiesshowcasedthe Gangnam style dance on their televisionshowsandfamousathletesperformGangnamstyle during their dancing ceremonies afterscoringpointsintheirsport.EvenaU.S.Navyhumanoid robot, named CHARLI-2, dancedthe Gangnam style dance on 24. Oct. 2012 atVirginia institute of technology.Although most international fans don’tunderstand the majority of the lyrics, theword “Gangnam” remains engraved on manypeople’s tongues as they sing along to thesong’s catchy tune. These fans seem to knowthat Gangnam refers to a location in Korea,however,manyareunawareoftheimplicationsalluded to by the song, when it refers to“Gangnam style.”Gangnam district officially referred to asGangnam-gu, and is one of the 25 gu or localgovernment districts, which make up thecity of Seoul. According to the 2012 census,Gangnam is recorded to have a population of527,641,makingitthefourthmostpopulateddistrict in Seoul. Gangnam is also the thirdlargest district in Seoul with an area of 39.5km2.Until the early 1980’s Gangnam and itsneighboring areas were known as the leastdeveloped district in Seoul. However, aftera prodigious development during the last30 years, it earned the reputation of beingthe most affluent, dynamic, and influentialarea in both Seoul and South Korea. It evenbecame the site for the 2010 G-20 Summitand the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit. Thisprosperity and high class influence is whatinspired the song, Gangnam Style.In addition to being a prosperous district,Gangnam also offers a wide selection ofentertaining experiences. The Gangnamsubway station area is one of the largestmeeting points for young people, due to allthe famous restaurants and hang-out placeslocated there. The subway station itself andthe roads around it are directly connected tomany poplarized districts in Seoul, includingYangjae, Bundang, Sadang and Hannam. Itsgeographicalandcommercialmeritsnaturallylead the place to become more developed.The best shopping experience in thedistrict can be found in Apgujeong-dong andChungdam-dong, where department storesandmanyotherfashionstoresareconcentrated.The COEX mall at Samsung subway stationis another popular multi-complex shoppingmall where many restaurants, theaters, stores,and other places including the aquarium arelocated.At Gangnam, people can also learn aboutKoreanculture.TheKimchimuseumatCOEXinforms the world about one of the essentialsofKoreancuisine,Kimchi.AndatKukkiwon,the World Taekwondo Headquarters, peoplecan experience taekwondo basic stances, self-defense and board breaking at the low cost of20,000 won.Close to the modern COEX mall is theBuddhist Bongeunsa temple. It is a uniqueplacetovisitastravelerscanenjoythepeacefultemple-like atmosphere in the middle of sucha populated city. The temple offers a “templestay program” where tourists can experiencethe life of a monk for a few hours.Garosougil, which literally means “tree-linedstreet,”isbestknownforcozyrestaurantsand cafés. In addition to big franchise cafés,there are also several small cafés which offertheirownuniquemenus.Oneofthehighlightsof these cafés is that they serve famous fusionKorean style desserts. Patbingsoo is a populardessert, which has sweet red-bean porridgefonduecoverediniceflakesandsyrup.VariousPatbingsoowithdifferenttoppingsandflavorsare available.Since Gangnam literally means “South ofthe River,” Gangnam also has a huge boatingculture, including wind surfing, and waterskiing near the Han River. Also, Chunggye stream and Yangjae stream run throughGangnam, providing a modern publicrecreation space in downtown Seoul.All Service members and communitymembers assigned in South Korea have easyaccess to the many venues. Consequently, itwould be a big mistake not to look into thegreat opportunities offered by Gangnam.

PAGE 24 • WELCOME EDITION www.army.mil/korea THE KOREAN WAROutbreak of the WarThe Korean War began with a surpriseattack June 25, 1950, when eight divisionsand an armored brigade (90,000 soldiers) ofthe North Korean People’s Army attacked inthree columns across the 38th parallel andinvaded the Republic of Korea. Many of theNKPA were battle-tested, having served inthe Chinese and Soviet armies in World WarII. The 98,000-strong ROK Army, its combattraining incomplete, and having no tanks andonly 89 howitzers, was no match for the better-equipped NKPA.Aided only by a 500-man U.S.Korean MilitaryAdvisory Group, the ROKAwasoverwhelmed. Spearheaded by tanks, NKPAforces moved rapidly through the UijongbuGap on the west side of the Korean peninsulaand captured Seoul, South Korea’s capital.The ROKA fled south in disarray across theHan River toward Pusan, a major port at thesoutheastern tip of the Korean peninsula.On June 25, the U.N. Security Councildenounced North Korea’s actions and calledfor a cessation of hostilities and withdrawalof the NKPA to the 38th parallel. PresidentHarry S. Truman directed General of the ArmyDouglas MacArthur, whose Far East Commandwas located in Tokyo, to evacuate Korea ofAmerican dependents and send ammunitionto the beleaguered ROKA. The followingday, Truman sanctioned the use of Americanair and naval forces below the 38th parallel.The next day, as the situation worsened, theUnited Nations requested its members tofurnish military assistance to repel the invasion.Truman then extended American air and navalactions to North Korea and authorized theuse of U.S. Army troops to protect Pusan.MacArthur, however, recommended committingKorean War overview, 1950-1953a U.S.Army regiment in the Seoul area. Trumanagreed, and on June 30 he told MacArthur touse all forces available to him.South to the NaktongGround forces most readily available toMacArthur included the 1st Cavalry Divisionand the 7th, 24th and 25th Infantry Divisions,all under 8th U.S. Army headquartered inJapan; the 29th Regimental Combat Team inOkinawa, Japan; and the 5th RCT from Hawaii.But these units were hard pressed to defendthe ROK because they were undermannedand their mobility and firepower had beenreduced by shortages of organic units andequipment. In an effort to delay the NKPAadvance, MacArthur ordered the 1st Battalion,21st Infantry Regiment of the 24th InfantryDivision moved to a defensive position astridethe main road near Osan, 10 miles belowSuwon. Named Task Force Smith after thebattalion commander, this 540-man commandlacked effective anti-tank weapons and wasill-prepared to stop the NKPA. Outflanked byan NKPA division and suffering some 200casualties and the loss of all equipment, TFSmith broke into a disorganized retreat.Meanwhile, at the United Nations’ request,the United States formed the United NationsCommand, which would integrate all Americanand allied forces. MacArthur became itscommander. He assigned command of groundforces in Korea to Eighth U.S. Army underLt. Gen. Walton H. Walker. At the request ofROK President Syngman Rhee, Walker alsoassumed command of the ROK Army.By the beginning of August, after the arrivalof the 29th RCT from Okinawa on July 26,Eighth U.S. Army held only a small portion ofsoutheastern Korea. Walker ordered a standalong a 140-mile line arching from the KoreaStrait to the East Sea west and north of Busan.Known as the “Pusan Perimeter,” Americandivisions occupied the western segment, basingtheir position along the Naktong River; the ROKArmy defended the northern segment. WithPusan secure, additional troops and equipmentbegan arriving to reinforce EUSA’s perilouslylong, thin defensive line.At the same time the arrival of the U.S.Army’s 5th RCT from Hawaii, the 2d InfantryDivision and the 1st Provisional Marine Brigadefrom the United States, and a British infantrybrigade, strengthened EUSA.IncheonHaving traded space for time, MacArthursaw that the deeper the NKPAdrove south, themore vulnerable it became to an amphibiousenvelopment. The amphibious force consistedof the 1st Marine Division and the 7th InfantryDivision, its ranks fleshed out with severalthousand Korean recruits. MacArthur’s decisionto land at Incheon was a dangerous butremarkably bold and successful gamble.Tidal conditions allowed only a small windowof opportunity for the landing. Moreover, hewould be committing his last major reservesat a time when no more general reserve unitswere available in the United States.Following the successful, lightly opposedlandings at Incheon on Sept. 15, arduous street-to-street combat took place to liberate Seoul.On Sept. 29, the capital city was returned toPresident Rhee.Although many communist guerillas wouldremain behind, the NKPAvirtually disintegratedand ceased to be an effective fighting force.North to the YaluTruman authorized MacArthur to send hisforces north of the 38th parallel on Sept. 27,provided there was no indication that majorSoviet or Chinese Communist Forces wouldenter the war.
