Question About Composers
This is more of a question about Korean naming etiquette than anything else. IMDb has an entry for Hyung Kwan Yoo that purports he is a "writer" of Gangnam Style. Yoo Gun-hyung is confirmed as one of the writers (over a range of reliable sources). Given the similarity of these names Hyung Kwan Yoo versus Yoo Gun-hyung, are they in fact the same person? sugarfish (talk) 07:16, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Korean given names won't flip the order of syllables. So "Hyung Kwan" or "Hyung-kwan" is not the same as "Kwan Hyung"; also not the same as "Gun-Hyung". Google says they have different native names - "유형관" vs "유건형". So no, this cannot be the same person. Evaders99 (talk) 08:05, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
Duplicate sentences in intro
We have
In September 2012, "Gangnam Style" was recognized by Guinness World Records as the first YouTube video to hit 1 billion views.
and
On December 21, 2012, "Gangnam Style" became the first YouTube video to reach 1 billion views.
So... why is this listed twice, and which is correct? 73.86.46.50 (talk) 23:42, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

This article uses inconsistent British and American spellings. Please think of a consistent variety we can use to fix the issue so I can close the reassessment. 2600 etc (talk) 04:53, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
- In general South Korea's closer to the US than it is the UK so I think it's better to tend towards American English. grapesurgeon (talk) 10:39, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
- Is this issue really drastic enough to warrant a formal GAR? Was the talk page even approached to being with? Aza24 (talk) 21:25, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
- If the only issue was inconsistent UK-US spellings, then that would be a very unnecessary GAR. I see a few [unreliable source?] markers, but they seem easy to deal with (replacing/deleting). Skyshiftertalk 22:45, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. Inconsistent UK-US spellings is not a GA issue. "Prose at the good article level is not expected to be at a professional level like it is for featured articles. Minor grammatical or style issues that do not impact clarity are not prohibitive of GA status.": Wikipedia:Good_article_criteria#cite_note-1. I notice that a number of websites now read which country you're in, and so adjust the content (language, prices, etc) accordingly. Be helpful if the Foundation did that for Wikipedia.
