A new song by South Korean rapper Psy, also known as Park Jae-sang, was produced by and features BTS member Suga.
That That, which droped on Friday, fronted Psy’s ninth album, Ssada 9 (Psy 9th in English).
In a video before the song was released, the pair revealed that Suga (Min Yoon-gi) had been brought onto the project only as a producer.
The Gangnam Style singer, though, won him over and added him as a featured artist.
“Ah … I thought I was only writing the song,” says Suga.
“Step by step, he got more deeply involved, our Yoon-gi,” Psy adds, with a laugh.
Ahead of the album’s release, Psy teased a variety of popular South Korean artists as collaborators – including Epik High’s Tablo, Mamamoo’s Hwasa, R&B singer Crush, rapper Jessi, soloist Heize and popular singer-actress Bae Suzy – before unveiling Suga’s involvement.
Ssada 9 arrives a few months before the 10th anniversary of Gangnam Style’s release, which took the world by storm after it dropped in July 2012.
The last album that Psy released was 4X2=8 in 2017. In 2019, he launched his own entertainment company, P Nation.
It manages several high-profile Korean musical acts, including Jessi and Crush.
