Psy is expected to return to the stage in June with a new number, his agent said Thursday.
Specifics about the exact date of his new album release are yet to be finalized, according to his agency YG Entertainment. Latest news reports say he will appear on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night."
His hit song "Gangnam Style" was a worldwide success in 2012, and has earned 1.99 billion views on YouTube so far. A year later, following "Gangnam Style," Psy released a dance number of a similar kind, "Gentleman."
Psy said he has been is putting extra effort in making his new song to compensate for "Gentleman." He admitted the failure of the song "Gentleman," at the year-end concert held at Olympic Hall in Olympic stadium December last year.
"‘Gentelman' was a song that was so un-me," he said during the concert.
"I am working on new songs for my upcoming album, and I am planning to do what I like the most, and what I do best. I' call it Yang-a-chi-ggi, a word meaning ‘a sentiment defined by swaggering, boldness, and not timid in expressing oneself.'"
He was invited to the U.S. White House dinner for Christmas "Christmas in Washington 2012."
The following year, he attended the "White House Correspondents' Dinner 2013" as a guest of CBS.
He will perform in the music festival "City Break 2014," which is scheduled on Aug. 8 and 9. He is among the performers for the "Now Festival 2014," along with the U.S. singer/songwriter and activist Lady Gaga, on Aug. 15 and 16.
