The Start of PSY That Shook the Early 2000s

A record of the journey from his radical first album to becoming a popular performer

While PSY's early music is often remembered for its outrageous character, following his albums reveals a rapid expansion of narrative encompassing the flavors of rap, traditional call-and-response, family, and separation. "The Start of PSY That Shook the Early 2000s" is structured based on the transition from his early character to a more mainstream narrative, respecting the flow of releases and the arrangement of tracks on the albums.

Beginning with his 2001 debut, and moving through PSY2, Psy 3, and 싸집 (Ssa-Jip), one can observe the process of how the radical rap persona expands into stories of family and love. Both the albums and their release dates are listed to prevent confusion between the remade versions and the context of his original era — it’s advisable to verify the album titles first.
