Ready for the latest YouTube trend? Students filming themselves... studying.

This concept, which hails from South Korea, and is capable of scoring millions of views online, goes by the name of ‘gongbang’. Here, a vowel makes all the difference, as there's nothing sexual about it, at all. If the word gongbang sent your mind racing towards a certain category of adult websites, then rein it back in, because there's nothing sexual about this South Korean trend.
