During its campaign to win the right to host the GCF, the country's Presidential Committee on Green Growth produced a promotional video entitled "GCF Songdo Style by Psy" in which Psy recommends Songdo as the host city for the GCF.

The GCF is often considered the sole shining light from the dismal climate conference in Copenhagen in 2009.
But Cheikhrouhou said the US delegate to the GCF had said talks with congressional Republicans, whose colleagues have attacked the GCF as a "slush fund", were progressing and some money could be released when the budget is finalised in December.
Only then will the GCF have the ability to make renewable energy and other projects attractive to private co-investors.
Developing countries last month publicly welcomed the $9.7bn pledged for the GCF, but were in fact bitterly disappointed that it was so little.
Although the $100bn a year was agreed at Copenhagen, and confirmed at Cancun in 2010, the GCF will be only one source among many for those funds.
The GCF, which is head-quartered in South Korea, is controlled by a Board on which developed and developing countries are equally represented.
"We will begin discussions shortly with the GCF to formalise our pledge and will enter into an agreement once discussions have been completed," the spokesman said.
According to Smita Nakhooda, a climate finance analyst, the sharp drop in pledges is caused, in part, by slow progress in agreeing the remit of the GCF.
