PSY is back: Will he continue to travel around the world like “Gangnam Style” or is it a “bomb” again?

Fans around the globe are eagerly awaiting PSY's next product.

On April 12, YTN Star reported that PSY announced their comeback with a new album. The new album marks PSY's comeback after 5 years of silence. The product was released on April 29 at 6pm. The rapper also posted a video from the event in 2013 and hinted at releasing a new hit after Gangnam Style.

On April 14, PSY "teased" the album cover image of Psy 9th and some information. Accordingly, this album includes 12 songs. The title track name starts with the letter T.

However, so far, the rapper has not revealed which guest artists will appear on the album.

Around the news of PSY's return, Korean media as well as the public gave mixed opinions. PSY hinted that the new product could be a hit after Gangnam Style.

He shared, "Honestly, I produced Champion in 2002 and it took 10 years to create a more successful song than that. Gangnam Style was released in 2012. What I want to say is maybe next time. follow, you will meet a song like "Gangnam Style" in 2022".

However, the Ten Asia site questioned whether the 10-year cycle would go as PSY expected. A decade ago, Gangnam Style dance was famous around the world.
