Gangnam Style' dance-off turns into shootout in Bangkok

Seoul (The Korea Herald/ANN) - A light-hearted dance battle between rival gangs in Thailand took a turn for the worst when the situation escalated into a shootout, local media reported. The two gangs were dining at a same restaurant in Bangkok on Friday when teenage members of the groups started to challenge each other by to perfrom 'horse-riding' dance from music video of Korean singer Psy's hit song "Gangnam Style." The dance contest soon turned into a heated argument and one of the gangs left the eatery, only to return moments later with more gang members. "Four people from the group returned at 6 a.m. and fired several shots into the sky. I tried to mediate, and they agreed to leave," the teenager told the Bangkok Post. "Three of them later returned about 8 a.m., and they sprayed bullets in all directions, like in action movies. I and other people there were running for our lives." Local authorities said nobody was harmed even though some 50 bullets were fired at the scene. Bangkok police said they have identified the attackers and will seek arrest warrants for them.
