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.

But everything stops there.

Products released after Gangnam Style such as Hangover, Daddy or New Face... have no breakthrough. Even Gentleman is considered a copy, "stir-fry" the recipe for the success of Gangnam Style.

PSY did not surpass his own record. The rapper himself once admitted that Gangnam Style is too big of a shadow and that trying to beat it is a nightmare.

Ten Asia concluded that this comeback continues to be a burden on PSY.

SPY is a famous rapper in Korea. In 2012, PSY released the song "Gangnam Style" and caused a worldwide fever. Gangnam Style's music video has received a positive response from the music industry and critics alike.

Gangnam Style's horse dance cover video series was released worldwide and received huge views. In September 2012, Gangnam Style set a Guinness World Record and was recognized as the video with the most likes (likes) at that time.

After that, the MV won the award for Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2012. On December 21, 2012, Gangnam Style became the first video to reach 1 billion views. As of February 1, 2022, the song's music video has more than 4.32 billion views.

The reason for the above success, entertainment site E! America's and Allkpop of Korea have given the things that make Gangnam Style famous, even though Psy is not an attractive-looking artist, if not inferior to the Korean idol singers. What this fat guy did was extraordinary, supported, of course, by many objective and subjective reasons.

1. Unique

Music history records that the owners of unique dances are famous as alcohol. If one cannot forget before Michael Jackson's moonwalk, the Mambo dance of Cuban-American jazz artist Israel "Cachao" Lopez (the precursor to Cha Cha Cha), now Psy's galloping dance is also no exceptions.

2. Sang

Reality shows that the life of the slums is often not attractive in terms of entertainment, but rather the lifestyle of the upper class. Audiences, who dream of escaping from a life full of worries, always have the need to look at the super-rich, which is found in Gangnam Style.

Right from the name, Gangnam Style is an intimate phrase of the Korean language referring to a luxurious lifestyle in the Gangnam district, an affluent area of Seoul (South Korea). In a CNN interview, Psy once compared Gangnam to Beverly Hills, California.

3. Fun

Sometimes people listen to music without thinking about the lyrics. Audiences around the world danced to Gangnam Style even though they didn't understand what the song was about, but enjoyed its fun melody.

Along with the horse dance, the exciting and exciting rhythm of Gangnam Style completely removes the barriers of language, age and culture, and instead is the audience's enjoyment of the "comedy" performances of "Mr. owner" Psy (sitting in the toilet, diving in the swimming pool, joking in the sauna, dancing around on the street...). That is more than enough to make the most demanding people smile and immerse themselves in the excitement of Gangnam Style.

4. The support of big stars and the media

Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Britneys, Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, Tom Cruise ... have millions of fans, so the winged comments of these stars about Psy's MV have helped Gangnam Style "see" intensely. .
