When asked to compare his double title tracks "Daddy" and "Bell Bottoms" to "Gangnam Style," he replied, "I will do no such comparison. �The weight of 'Gangnam Style' was too heavy, so I don't even go to Gangnam often. �I will politely decline from any comparison with 'Gangnam Style.' �More than that, please listen to how I created the nine songs in the album with the utmost care."


He also said during the press conference, "It took too long [for me to release new music]. It took two years and eight months since 'Gentleman' and three years and five months since my sixth album. �I did not know it would take this long. �Just like how they say that there is a time studying is the easiest for honor students, there was a period of time where music was the easiest for me, but as the netizens said, I thought that no matter what I wrote, whether I was feeling oppressed, stressed, or had the American disease, I thought that if I wrote like this, it would not live up to 'Gangnam Style.'


"There were too many thoughts in my brain even before I began writing songs, thoughts like 'If I do it like this, people overseas would not understand.' �Taking care of all those thoughts at once took a very long time. �I got back a bit of my sanity while performing at the college festival early this year. �At one moment, I thought, 'I chose this career because I wanted to do what I wanted to do, so why am I unable to do what I want to do right now and being like this?'"


Fighting, Psy!
