[%%IMAGE1%%]<p>  The student depicting Psy’s “Gangnam Style” horse dance, in front of COEX Convention Center in Seoul. Psy opposed the plan for the statue, expressing his view that the statue was excessive, and didn’t participate in the opening ceremony. Gangnam District Office, in an Apr. 16, 2016 press release, listed only the names of singers FIESTAR, Apink and Lovelyz.  Gangnam District Mayor Shin Yeon-hee, who pushed for the setting up of the statue, is now under investigation for allegations of spreading fake news about President Moon Jae-in, when he was running for the presidency in May. </p>
