Your Gangnam Style AI video, second by second

It is not a filter on top of your photos. The whole 20-second selfie video is made again with your faces, on the same rooftop, with the same moves and the same timing for everyone.

  1. All of you squeezed into one selfie, the city lights behind, waving at the camera.
  2. Close-up of the one holding the phone, singing the first line.
  3. A fast whip pan to the next friend, dancing on the wooden deck.
  4. Another whip pan: a close selfie at the glass railing, the skyline behind.
  5. Back to the phone holder, one hand reaching for the lens.
  6. Everyone squeezes back in for the final chorus and waves goodbye.

Gangnam Style Trio (3 photos) or Duo (2 photos)

Trio: three photos. Photo 1 holds the phone and has the two close-ups, photo 2 dances on the deck, photo 3 sings a close selfie at the railing, then all three together. The classic version of the trend.

Duo: two photos, made for couples and best friends. Photo 1 holds the phone, photo 2 takes both solo moments, and you finish the chorus together.

The Gangnam Style trend with friends, explained

PSY's Gangnam Style came out in 2012 and was the first video to reach a billion views on YouTube. In October 2026 its last chorus came back as a selfie trend: a group of friends filmed at night in Gangnam, Seoul, passing one phone around and singing Oppa Gangnam Style to the camera, one after the other.

The AI versions followed within days, with friends, couples, footballers and cartoon characters, and in India and Pakistan the trend became Open Gangnam Style, with hundreds of tutorials and prompts on how to make it. Gangnam Style AI on Aura is that same selfie video, ready in minutes, with the faces of you and your friends.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Gangnam Style AI trend?

It is the selfie trend of autumn 2026 on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts: friends at night pass one phone around, each one sings a line of PSY's Oppa Gangnam Style chorus to the front camera, then everyone squeezes back into the selfie. It started with a video filmed in Gangnam, Seoul, and spread as AI versions with friends, couples, celebrities and characters. In India and Pakistan it is often called Open Gangnam Style.

How do I make a Gangnam Style AI video with my friends? (tutorial)

Open auraai.app or the Aura AI app and ask the agent for Gangnam Style, or tap Make the Trio on this page. Send one photo of each person, face clearly visible: photo 1 is the one who holds the phone, then the friends. You get the 20-second video, vertical, on the original song, ready to post.

Do I need a Gangnam Style AI prompt?

No. The scene, the moves, the camera and the song are already part of the effect, so you do not have to write or copy a prompt. Just send the photos and say who is who, for example: do the gangnam style trend with the 3 of us.

Can I make it with only 2 people?

Yes, with Gangnam Style Duo: two photos, two people. Photo 1 holds the phone, photo 2 takes both solo moments, and you finish together in the selfie. It works for couples, best friends and siblings.

Which photos work best?

One clear photo per person, face visible and looking roughly at the camera, in good light. If a photo shows the clothes down to the chest, the person keeps those clothes in the video; otherwise the outfit is chosen to suit them.

Is the video vertical?

Yes, it is 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. If you want the horizontal 16:9 look of the original trend, ask the agent for the horizontal version.

Is the Gangnam Style song included?

Yes. Your video comes with the original song already on it, the final Oppa Gangnam Style chorus, and the lips move on the words, so you do not have to add the music yourself.

What is Open Gangnam Style?

Open Gangnam Style is how many people in India and Pakistan say Oppa Gangnam Style, the line from PSY's chorus, and it became the name of the AI trend there: the same selfie video where friends take turns singing to the camera. Gangnam Style AI on Aura makes exactly that video, with the song included.

How much does it cost?

40 credits per video, Duo or Trio, 20 seconds.
