Quick answer
Starrd's Gangnam Style Pt. 2 template turns two photos into the viral AI Gangnam Style elevator scene. Photo 1 is the person standing in the elevator doing the wide-legged hip thrust; photo 2 is the person on the floor underneath, propped on their forearms and looking up. It copies every move, the camera and the timing from the original clip, with its original sound. About 6 seconds, vertical 9:16, 480p, 100 credits.
The same dance, any subject — tap one to make it with your photo.
The other famous Gangnam Style moment, starring you and a friend: one of you in a steel elevator doing the wide-legged hip thrust, the other on the floor underneath, looking straight up at the camera like nothing is happening.
Gangnam Style Pt. 2
Two photos: the Gangnam Style elevator scene, one of you dancing and one on the floor underneath, with the original sound.
Is This a Trend?
Yes. The elevator scene is the part of PSY's 2012 video everyone remembers after the horse dance, and it came back in October 2026 as an AI format right next to the rooftop selfie version. It's short, it's absurd, and it needs exactly two people, which makes it the easiest Gangnam Style to send to one friend.
What You Get
- Two of you. One dancing, one on the floor.
- The whole move. Every hip thrust, arm swing and head bob from the clip.
- The original sound.
- About 6 seconds, vertical 9:16. It loops perfectly.
Who Plays Who
| Photo | Part |
|---|---|
| 1 | Standing in the elevator, legs wide, doing the dance |
| 2 | On the floor underneath, propped on their forearms, looking up |
Tip: give photo 2 to the friend with the best deadpan face. Their straight-faced stare is the joke.
Use clear, well-lit photos with faces looking at the camera. Everyone keeps their own clothes, so the outfit in your photo is the outfit in the elevator.
The Fastest Way
Gangnam Style Pt. 2
You and a friend in the Gangnam Style elevator scene. Two photos, about 6 seconds.
Two photos, 100 credits, no prompt needed. It renders at 480p, vertical 9:16, with the original sound. Find it in Dance, right next to the rooftop Gangnam Style.
Build It Yourself
1. Start from the real clip. Use the elevator video itself as the motion reference, so every move carries over.
2. Make one still of both of you in place. Recreate a frame of the clip with the standing person and the person on the floor replaced, so the model knows who goes where.
3. Name each part plainly. Tell a motion-transfer video model the standing dancer becomes person 1 and the person on the floor becomes person 2, in every frame.
4. Keep the elevator. Ask it to keep the steel walls, the handrails and the ceiling light, so only the people change.
Common Mistakes
Swapped roles. Say who stands and who's on the floor, or the model may trade them.
Borrowed outfits. The original has a dark jacket and a navy suit. Say plainly that each person wears their own clothes.
Faces lost in the shadow. The person on the floor is small in the frame. Use a bright, close photo of their face.
