Call for South Korea to go 'Gangnam style'

It isn't every day that the finance minister of a major country mentions a rap star when talking up his economy. But then South Korea isn't your average economy, and Psy isn't your usual entertainer.

Bahk Jae-wan did that in an interview last week. South Korea's top economic official cited the singer of the global smash hit Gangnam Style as an example of the kind of creativity and international competitiveness the country needs.

It wasn't a laugh line. It was a plea for South Koreans to let their hair down and dream a bit.
