The single is due out Apr. 13, and Psy will perform a concert dubbed “Happening” at the Seoul World Cup Stadium later that night, which will be streamed live on YouTube. PSY, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, delivered the news in Korean, English, Chinese, Thai, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Indonesian subtitles — a sign of how popular “Gangnam Style” has become worldwide.

“The thing is, it’s too much pressure to overcome ‘Gangnam Style,’” he said. “It’s really hard.”

Since then, it has garnered more than 1 billion views, becoming most watched YouTube video of all time. PSY also performed at the White House’s Christmas concert and at South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s inauguration ceremony last month.
