Typically the girl will pretend the guy to be older, if that isn't the case. That's why girls in movies and K-Pop groups always shout "Oppa!". [LINK] And you might remember the Oppa that is Gangnam Style: [VIDEO]

What a brilliant comment :) I'm not sure if you're joking, but it certainly brightened up my day. That Gangnam Style song is about riding and the associated up and down motion, just not related to horses. In that scene where he's watching the horses, he's singing: "A true lady who is warm and human during the day, who is classy and knows how to enjoy a cup of coffee. But when night comes, her heart gets hot..." and then you see the horse moving its head up and down and he sings: "A lady who is kinky in that way" And then you see him with 2 girls in his arms and he's using rather suggestive language: "A man who one-shots ... his coffee. A man who won't let things cool down ... A man who bursts when night comes ... his heart. A man with few muscles and he is bulging ... with ideas." Also, if you pay attention to it, you can hear that both gangnam songs are littered with audio samples of him and her moaning, e.g: [VIDEO] [LINK] And then there's the famous elevator scene where his lyrics are: "A good woman appears calm, but knows how to have fun. She's reasonable and when it's the right time, she will let her hair down ..." [VIDEO]

It’s interesting to see another South Korean company in the creative Youtube space succeed like Gangnam Style. Had no idea Baby Shark was from South Korean company Pinkfong. South Korea is clearly super creative even on Netflix shows like Squid Games. [LINK] [VIDEO]
