The "Gentleman" singer also tweeted a video titled "Best Friends, 16 years apart" where he talked about his collaboration with the much younger Suga.
"When meeting younger artists, I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable," the 44-year-old Psy said. "I don't want to be someone who's hard to approach."
Suga was also in the video, where he shared he was initially nervous working with a global icon like Psy. But the older artist assured that Suga "truly feels like a friend," a sentiment that Suga mirrored which made the songwriting process more fun.
"If he thinks of me as a bestie, that's great for me. How much younger does that make me?" Psy joked near the end of the video.
"Psy 9th" will be Psy's first music in five years. He left agency YG Entertainment in 2018 after the release of "Psy 8th 4x2=8" and started his own company P Nation.
