The agency unveiled a promotional poster for the singer’s upcoming eighth album release, slated for May 10, via its official blog Monday morning.

The poster also displayed the phrase “PSY 8th 4X2=8.”

Psy’s new album marks his return about 18 months since the release of his seventh studio album “Chiljip Psy-da” in December 2015, which included double lead tracks “Daddy” and “Napal Baji.”

The singer became a global sensation with his mega hit “Gangnam Style” in 2012. The song’s music video became the most-watched video on YouTube, with more than 2.8 billion views.

Psy is reported to have finished filming two music videos for the new album. Actor Lee Byung-hun, a close friend of Psy, will appear in one of the music videos.
