"Gangnam Style (강남 스타일)" Released: July 15, 2012

In 2015, Psy revealed in his press interview for his 7th full length album that part 2 was skipped due to his wishes to vent from the popularity of gangnam style and start anew with the lucky number 7 and because he needed more studio albums rather than eps considering his lower numbers of full length albums in his career and the long wait of three years and five months between part 1 and his next project.[2]

Psy 6 (Six Rules), Part 1 was released in a tin that had a fishbowl-like appearance. Inside the tin is a card that contains the album artwork, cards which contain artwork and lyrics for each of the songs (the artwork for "Gangnam Style" was different from the Germany-released single's art), a card for the credits, two cards of advertising from YG Entertainment and the CD. The whole ensemble is packaged in a white box printed with information.
