Singer Psy cracked open his playful side in online one-man talk show “Psy Little Television” on Tuesday night.
The global star (Park Jae-sang), 37, who became famous with YouTube smash hit “Gangnam Style,” launched the six-day show on online video channel V, where celebrities broadcast videos of themselves. Psy’s show is scheduled to air daily at 11 p.m.
With his seventh album “7 Cider” to be released in the K-pop market in December -- his first since the single “Gentleman” in 2013 -- Psy introduced the album’s cover image and snippets of songs, including “I Remember You.”

He talked about how he had come up with ideas for the album’s songs and how he has struggled with his global popularity, which some fans branded his “American illness” that made him appear desperate to build his U.S. fan base.
“In the show’s first episode, Psy was as straight-forward and funny as he has always been,” a media report Wednesday said. “His long hiatus in the K-pop market appeared to be no sweat for him.”
