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.
