World-famous K-pop star Psy will return with his eighth album next month, his agency said Friday.

“Psy has already finished filming two music videos that will be featured alongside the eighth album,” a YG Entertainment spokeswoman told The Korea Times. “We don’t have a fixed date for release, but the new album is in the final stage of production.”

She said the album’s first single will be released first on YouTube, but refused to reveal other information about the song and album.

Psy has laid low for 18 months since he wrapped up his performances with his 7th album “Chiljip Psy-da.”

Psy, who made his debut in 1999, became an international sensation with his hit song “Gangnam Style” in 2012, which has been played more than 2.8 billion times on YouTube.
