First, watch the original video below so you know exactly what you are going to make.
Why the Open Gangnam Style Trend Is Going Viral
This is a brand-new Instagram trend, and creators everywhere are posting their own version. Many of these reels are crossing millions of views, because everyone knows the Gangnam Style song and the dance is fun to watch with friends.
Also, group trends spread very fast. When you tag your friends, their followers see the reel too. So, if you make your version now, while the trend is still fresh, you have a real chance to go viral.
What You Need for the Open Gangnam Style Trend
Before You Start: Keep These 4 Things Ready
- Muted reference videos: Part 1 and Part 2 (10 seconds each, no sound) from the Download button below.
- 3 clear photos: one of you and one of each of your 2 friends. Faces must be clear, front-facing and not blurry. The clothes in the photos will appear in the video.
- Google Flow: free AI video tool by Google.
- CapCut or VN: to join both clips and add the original song at the end.
Step 1: Download the Muted Reference Videos
The original video is 20 seconds long, but Google Flow makes only about 10 seconds at a time. So, the video is already split into two muted parts for you. The same MediaFire folder also has the full original video with sound, which you will use only at the end for the music.
- Part 1 – first 10 seconds, muted (upload in Flow).
- Part 2 – last 10 seconds, muted (upload in Flow).
- Original video with sound – only for the song in Step 5. Never upload it in Flow.
Step 2: Upload Part 1 and Your 3 Photos in Google Flow
- Open Google Flow and start a new project.
- Choose Ingredients mode and set the aspect ratio to 16:9.
- Upload the muted Part 1 video as the reference video.
- Upload your 3 photos: Image 1 = the person who replaces Character 1 (left), Image 2 = Character 2 (middle), Image 3 = Character 3 (right).
Step 3: Paste the Open Gangnam Style Trend Prompt and Generate
Next, copy the prompt below and paste it into Flow. Then click Generate and wait a few seconds.
Each character’s face, body, skin tone, facial features, hair, and overall physical appearance must be an exact 1:1 match to their respective reference images – do not alter, modify, or reinterpret any physical trait. The identity of each person must be preserved with complete accuracy as shown in the reference images.
Replace the outfits of each character entirely with the clothing shown in their respective reference images. Preserve every detail of the outfit including fabric texture, color, cut, styling, accessories, and garment fit exactly as seen in the reference images. The original video’s costumes must be completely replaced.
Preserve all facial expressions, body movements, gestures, poses, camera angles, lighting, and background exactly as they appear in the original video. Only the faces, physical identity, and outfits of the characters should change. Everything else motion, timing, scene composition, and environment – must remain 100% identical to the source video.
Remove all text, watermarks, logos, subtitles, and overlays present in the original video. The final output must be completely clean with no text or graphics visible anywhere in the frame.
Step 4: Repeat the Same Steps for Part 2
After Part 1 is ready, download it. Then start a new generation: upload the muted Part 2 video, the same 3 photos in the same order, paste the same prompt and click Generate. Use the same photos in the same order, so the faces and outfits match in both clips.
Step 5: Join Both Clips and Add the Original Song
- Open CapCut or VN and add your Part 1 clip, then your Part 2 clip right after it.
- Next, import the original video with sound from the MediaFire folder and extract its audio.
- Place the audio under both clips from the start and line it up with the dance.
- Finally, mute the generated clips, export the video and post it.
That is it. Your Open Gangnam Style Trend video is ready, with your face, your friends and the original song.
Tips for a Better Result
- Use sharp, well-lit photos. Blurry photos give different faces.
- Keep the photo order the same in Part 1 and Part 2.
- If a result looks off, generate 2 or 3 times and keep the best one.
- Wear the outfit you want to see — clothes come from your photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I get “Unable to edit speech” in Google Flow?
That error appears when the reference video has sound with singing or lip-sync. Always upload the muted Part 1 and Part 2 files, not the original video.
Is the Open Gangnam Style Trend free to make?
Yes. The prompt and the reference videos are free, and Google Flow lets you generate with its free credits.
Can I make it with only one or two people?
This prompt is made for 3 people. For the best result, upload 3 photos, one for each dancer.
Why is the video split into two parts?
Google Flow makes about 10 seconds per generation, and the original is 20 seconds. So you make two clips and join them in CapCut or VN.
That is all you need for the Open Gangnam Style Trend. For more viral reels, try the Instagram Profile Jump Trend and the Bike Armour Transformation prompt.
