Whatever meaning you derive from a piece of art personally is just as valid as the intended meaning

There's also little speaker next to it that plays Gangnam Style on repeat 24/7

There was a particular statue of two pairs of arms hugging representing MLK Jr and his wife Corretta that inspired the exact opposite feelings, apparently, as many onlookers mistakenly thought it was something more obscene.

Heeey, sexy ladies
Someone told me that Oppa means 'Uncle', but in the particular district of Gangnam the word Oppa/Uncle also means Pimp.
So it's basically a song based on a pretty bad pun. I'll protect you like an uncle, and by Uncle I mean Pimp.
EDIT: English speakers likely would do better with the translation as 'Ill be like a Father to you, a real Las Vegas Pimp Daddy (where Daddy is a word that means Father but has more Pimp connotations, and Las Vegas being famous for legalized prostitution).
It's definitely debauchery. But we likely have memorials to Austin Powers and other such pop culture icons, so it's understandable.

My first thought was: "Oh nice, they've made a statue on how to not measure your own pulse."
I remember the dude showing me Gangnam style. I remember Gangnam style hitting the billion views as the first video ever. And it did that in 6 months. Good times.
