Eric Nam's 'Psycho' travels from album to live band—and back to Korean TV

For listeners who know Eric Nam as a charming interviewer, his latest story may be better told through a song. 'Psycho' moved from an album release to a band performance and then a scheduled Korean late-night TV stage.

Eric Nam released his nine-track fourth studio album, Confessions of a Lonely Heart, on October 16, 2026. The official it's Live channel posted a band version of 'Psycho' on October 25. October 30 announcements reported his appearance on KBS2's The Seasons with Sung Si-kyung and the song's first broadcast performance. The embedded live clip is from October 25, not footage of the KBS episode.

What makes this notable is the song's three contexts: recording, live-band arrangement, and television performance. Listeners had already singled out its emotional sweep and instrumental texture. Neither ratings nor real-time popularity rankings for October 30 were verified.

In an October 16 r/popheads album discussion, one listener singled out 'Psycho' as a standout and praised its prominent piano and real instruments. That is an individual's release-day album reaction—not feedback about the October 25 it's Live performance or the October 30 KBS broadcast. We did not review a comprehensive set of TV-viewer comments.

It is his first studio album since 2023's House on a Hill. 'Psycho' opens a record exploring love and loneliness. The separate official music video embedded here belongs to October 16 and is distinct from the band session.

The album date comes from music metadata and the official video; the October 25 performance from it's Live's YouTube link; and the October 30 KBS appearance from dated news reports. Without full playback of the broadcast, no specific exchange with Sung Si-kyung or unverified on-air scene is attributed.

Once an official KBS clip is verifiable, the two performances and authentic viewer reactions can be compared. One album comment is not evidence of consensus among Korean fans.
