PSY’s new album, video turn corner from ‘Gangnam Style’

South Korean superstar PSY said his new album marks a “farewell to ‘Gangnam Style'” — the hit song that propelled him to superstardom exactly a decade ago.

Indeed, the music video for the lead single — “That That” featuring Suga from BTS — shows PSY in the famous blue suit he wore in the “Gangnam Style” video.

“So, a guy in a blue tuxedo comes out and gets a slap from Suga and goes on his way,” alluding to his old self walking away from the past, PSY told The Associated Press during an interview before the album's release. His latest album “PSY 9th,” released Friday, has 12 songs, including one featuring Korean-Canadian rapper Tablo.

PSY, whose real name is Park Jaesang, swept the world with “Gangnam Style” in 2012. The song, with its addictive horse-riding dance and catchy melodies, made a global splash and currently has over 4.4 billion views on YouTube.
