Song name references to 'gangster' seen impressions of pimp, the relatively unknown from South Korea . Amongst western culture (English speaking, English language references) the popularity of song owed some credit to individual interpretation or be it misinterpretations as many songs do, what the words mean to the person listening. (impressions, alleviations 'negative memories, experiences' , importance - things are better than they may really be, etc.) Felt as bit of power song . The moves being seen as simplistic but 'cool' . Fits the basic impression of South Korea on this .
