The Gangnam Style elevator scene is one of the most memorable moments in PSY's "Gangnam Style" music video. In a cramped elevator, a dancer thrusts their hips toward someone sitting on the floor, who simply stares up at them. The contrast between the over-the-top dance and the stunned face below is what made the elevator scene a meme, and it's still one of the most quoted shots from the video. Recreating it is now a TikTok trend of its own.

The AI trend brings that moment back as a duo clip. People pick a friend, decide who dances and who sits, and recreate the lift scene without ever stepping into an elevator. You'll see it searched as the gangnam style elevator meme, the PSY elevator scene, the gangnam style elevator dance, or the gangnam style lift, and you'll find plenty of elevator parody clips copying the same pose. Some people also look for it as "gangnam style part 2" or "pt 2," treating it as the follow-up to the classic horse-dance trend.

This Gangnam Style elevator AI video template does it from two photos: you choose the roles, and the AI puts both of you in the elevator, timed to the reference clip's original audio.
