Psy sees February album release

At a press conference Tuesday in Paris with about 80 local journalists, Psy answered the question on everyone’s lips: When will he release the follow-up album to his hit tune “Gangnam Style”?

“Sometime in February, or at the latest in March,” answered the Korean rapper on the first stop of his European promotional tour.

“I’m currently working on the album, and it will be released worldwide,” said Psy, before adding that the songs will contain both English and Korean. “It will be my first world album debut.”

Although in Paris for only two days, Psy wasted no time, speaking with the press and amusing fans with a flash mob event.

As soon as he touched down from the United States on a chartered plane, Psy went to Trocadero Square, across from the Eiffel Tower, where a crowd of 20,000 was waiting. Once there, Psy and the crowd danced along to the worldwide hit song for about 15 minutes.

He said that next year, “Paris will be the first stop on the European tour.”
