Psy will talk with announcer Sohn Suk-hee on the JTBC’s “Newsroom”on Thursday night.

The star will talk about his preparation for the seventh album, and his life as a singer since he made his debut in 2001.

Several stars _ such as actor Kang Dong-won, singers G-Dragon and Lee Seung-hwan _ have been invited to appear on the program.

Psy made a huge comeback with “Chiljip Psy-da,” at the start of the month.

His two new songs _ “Napal Baji” and “Daddy”_ topped the nation’s domestic music charts as soon as the music hit the airwaves.

“Daddy” ranked 97th on Billboard’s “Hot 100” singles chart on Wednesday.

The “Daddy” music video had also racked up more than 40 million views on YouTube as of Thursday.

Psy will perform solo concerts from Dec. 24 at Olympic Park in Seoul.
