girl, tablo deserves all the love he can get, he went through some real sh*t back in the day. it was really disgusting.

[@blackchae_]

Can I know the details? (Newbie Fan) He's such a good rapper and a dad

[@treeoflife9960]

@@blackchae_ here's the short ver: in the late 2000s a korean media outlet reported that a lot of korean influential figures (mainly from politics and economy) forged their degrees from foreign universities. it was obviously a huge scandal and within this mess an unknown internet user accused Tablo to have also forged his degree from stanfort. people quickly jumped on the hate train and Tablo even went as far as to visit the university with a camera team, had former classmates (and teachers?) attest that he in fact visited the school, showed his certificate and even went to the secretariat (if that's the correct term) to have them show his entries in the books that proved he did attend the university and got his degree. the korean public didn't believe him, the accuser on the internet claimed that all of this was staged and he lied. it was so bad that he said when his wife went into labor in 2010 the people at the hospital were looking at him with so much hate he was genuinely worried about his daughter's well being. later the police tracked down the accuser and it turned out that he was a middle aged korean living in canada that pretty much had nothing else to do than hate on him. that man even went as far as to complain about the press (and public) to harass him and invade his privacy after this came out. as far as i know he never was punished but after this was revealed the hate against Tablo died down. obviously this was very traumatising for him and it took a long time to get over it.

[@BIGBANGLOVE1212]

@@blackchae_ there’s actually a podcast that came out last year that dives into what happened called Authentic: The Story of Tablo

[@winterkrash]

@@treeoflife9960yes his professors even backed him up and these are respected people in their fields. And the haters all declared them liars. An interesting point here too is that one of the reasons why he was also targeted was because he graduated from Stanford with a double bachelor’s ang master’s degree. People can’t seem to get around the fact that a Stanford graduate (with a masters too) will go into kpop.

[@iagreewithyou3478]

They're one of the reasons why I still can't hate YG/YGE till this day. Because out of all entertainment agencies/CEO in kpop, YG is the only one who were willing to give them a chance despite the nation's hate that's hounding Epik High at the time and everyone turning their backs on them. And what's great is YG just let them be with their musical direction and didn't interfere. They also accepted Psy after the industry shunned him because of his controversies, and then literally launched him to worldwide success with hit after hit. And what's even better is YG didn't hold them back after they left and kept supporting them in forming their own entertainment agencies. They will always be part of YG family in my heart ❤️.

[@moonchild1873]

Yeees! I appreciate you taking time to get to know Epik High! Their discography is huge but honestly you can't pick a bad song even if you wanted to! They are poets with great beats and melodies. They rap about relatable stuff but lyrics are not cheesy. Love your reaction Caitlin, keep doing what you doing, you are one of the best content creator on KZbin for me. 💜

[@saturn137]

Epik High are lyrical geniuses. And their collabs are always incredible. I love all their songs especially those with Kim Jong Wan from NELL. I was fortunate to see them live last year and they were so much fun 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed their music! Thankyou for sharing this with us! ❤❤

[@goldenboy3850]

When Tabol mentioned that part about paving the way for everyone that's paving the way he was serious groups like Epik High, Yoo Mirae, Tiger JK ect. Paved the way for rap in the industry back then alot of groups were using alot of autotune and vocals and Choreography were more pushed in 2nd gen So 3rd and 4th gen were really inspired by artist like Epik High and so forth where rap started becoming more of a stable concept in the kpop industry

[@xiaovi.0753]

Not to mention that they were the first “kpop” artists to chart on billboard and could’ve been huge if not for the controversy that popped up almost immediately after

[@ad_kk16]

@@xiaovi.0753 To continue from what you said. In 2016 they were the first big-name Korean group to receive an invitation from Coachella. Also the line-up in 2022, making them the first Korean group to be invited to Coachella for the second time. They are gold lmao

[@ID_iKONIC_VIP]

B.I and Bobby were only trainees at this time and even got to perform at MAMA as trainees for this song. B.I was the one that came up with the hook as a trainee.... Tablo has been such a loyal friend/mentor to B.I ever since.

[@elo6066]

I think the coolest part of the Born Hater video is each of them represents a different deadly Sin ( In Order: Tukutz = Sloth, Tablo = Pride, Beenzino = Envy, Verbal Jint = Lust, Mithra = Gluttony, Mino = Wrath, Bobby = Greed, and BI = Purity LOL, trying to clean up their messes with his broom) It's reflected a bit in their lyrics too. Pretty awesome!

[@Ketchu-p]

This and AKMU were EXCELLENT choices. My faves so far because we rarely get explorations unto other k-music genres other than K-POP these days.

[@TriceeXO]

Same thoughts! I especially loved the AKMU ep and this one 💕

[@the27beats]

Just a side story, but Tablo was being heavily canceled in Korea back in the day because of a story of how he forged his Stanford diploma and such... Epik High suffered a lot at that time and then YG suddenly brought them in to the label (I'm not sure why, but I think it's because Tablo's wife was also under YG as an actress). They were able to prove the rumors wrong, reestablish themselves in the industry and make these amazing collabs. They are true fighters. Also, if you can, check Tablo's cover of Taeyang's Eyes Nose Lips too... it's amazing ✨️

[@meganelk8202]

Epik High’s lyrics are some of my favorites, they’re always so poetic and beautiful - their albums are amazing too!

[@piero7tnx]

Loved hearing you freak out over the bars in Rosario lmao. Something you'll definitely hear when it comes to Epik High is that they are very well respected and praised for their lyric writing. This applies both to their deeper and more emotional songs as well as their witty clapbacks in their diss tracks and harder songs. If I'm being honest Epik High has become my favorite artist in the last year, and a lot of their songs that are on the more emotional side have brought me a lot of comfort and really make you feel something. Thank you so much for checking them out! Another small thing I'd like to mention is that Epik High always has great features on their songs, whether that be other rappers or a multitude of extremely talented singers. I've been introduced to a lot of amazing artists through Epik High! Even if you don't react to them on the channel I think you would really enjoy listening to them on your own (I've found that their music is really good for study sessions and to play while working).

[@graziya]

That definitely is Jisoo. One of the perks of a YG trainee is to be a part of their senior labelmates projects like Music videos or as back up dancers in music shows.

[@greicy4209]

[@spammmedubu]

Being a 2nd gen fan & a yga stan for almost 15yrs, i've encountered so many kpop fans who are rude and disrespectful towards the artists who truly *paved the way* for kpop. Its saddens me of how the kpop community became toxic that i had to leave for sometime. I'm actually still seeing incidents that Epik High were still being disrespected by new k-stans. Sigh~ but thank you Caitlin for appreciating Epik High's music ❤️ i just hope new kpop stans would be just like you.

[@eliskaprouzova2215]

Born hater was realised when B.I and Bobby were just trainees before debuting with Ikon and just after Show me the money 3

[@rllb5757]

I loved what you said about paving the way. It has become so toxic and used as way to belittle others in all directions. But your so right people are always influenced and benefit from the people that came before and that should be celebrated for everyone! ❤ thanks for this series as always its so much fun!!!!

[@niche6016]

The funny thing is that young kpop fans now use the phrase "i paved the way" after this song came out, just to put down legendary artists like epik high and CL and to put new idols on a pedestal hahaha that's just demonstrates the relevance of OGs❤

[@nathana9728]

Jisoo was the go to YG trainee for all acting and CFs, hence why she was so popular predebut

[@vipblink9360]

EPIK HIGH is one of the hip hop OG in Korea but then on the path, there was some drawdown of the group due to military hiatus and then followed by a controversy of Tablo, it was during that time Tablo was signed by YG and it was mostly due to the influence of his wife who was an actress under YG... Right on the day, he went to the YG building, YG(the head) introduced him to Taeyang and told them to start recording and then his song called Tomorrow ft Taeyang was born... After the completion of the military enlistment of other members, he then brought them to YG and Epik High signed under YG in 2012... A label called HIGHGRND was formed in 2015, it was a sub-label under YG which was led by Tablo but it closed down after Epik-High left YG..

[@najlaelbez159]

[@got_a4550]

[@clairedeluneee]

A little info about the Born Hater music video: all of the guys (except for BI) represent one of the seven deadly sins- sloth, pride, lust, greed, etc. That's why they each have a personalized bathroom set, like Verbal Jint reading adult magazines (lust) and Tablo disinfecting and stepping on cockroaches (pride)

[@AjunebuggybugK]

I don't think Tablo is pride. Tablo would be envy as shown by dressing to look like a painter and crossing out other artist's paintings with red tape, displaying envy towards the creations of others. Bobby is representing pride by showing off all his trophies and money, taking pride in showing off his accomplishments. DJ Tukutz is sloth, Tablo is envy, Beenzino is greed, Verbal Jint is lust, Mithra Jin is gluttony , Mino is wrath, and Bobby is pride.

[@OfficialAwkbe]

Epik High's music has been a huge comfort to me as I've gotten older. Songs like "Love Drunk", "Home Is Far Away", "Lost One", "Us Against The World", and "Lullaby For A Cat (unedited version)" are songs I listen to a lot when I sit alone in my apartment. I relate a lot to their feelings relayed in their music, the feelings of not being able to see old friends/loved ones due to being endlessly busy with work; the feelings of being stuck in a cycle; being depressed and lonely... and yet the hope that lies behind all of it that maybe someday it'll all be different. They truly are incredible artists that I really respect.

Thank you Caitlin! YG has the best rappers indeed

[@ashleyme270]

Epik High are legends, so many artists got their inspiration from them! Every song is a masterpiece. They Collab with a lot of amazing artists. Their latest album, has Hwasa and Jackson Wang.

[@meganoffbeat]

Haven't watched yet, but oh my God, am I so happy you're checking them out! I'm only a casual fan right now but I saw them on tour this month and they're so fun! Tablo is pretty infamous. Even if you don't listen to Epik High, he's that entrenched in the koreab pop culture fandoms consciousness. Ppl remember him and his daughter from Return of Superman, or not as fun, remember the drama and trauma he and his family went through in 2010 (its a whole mess and not something I can properly break down in a comment section). He had/has a podcast with Dive Studios and ofc, the music they make gets around bc of the sheer size of the discography, the QUALITY and iconic collaborations. (I'm a huge Jacky/Jackson Wang fan and when they announced a collab on the recent album, strawberry, i just about died from happiness) I recommend their Buzzfeed interviews to get to know them better, their personalities shine and I have a soft spot for Mithra and Tukutz who have to deal with Tablo's outrageousness, they really will kill him in his sleep one day, that man... xD

[@kei_el17]

Their whole discography's really good, especially when you search up the lyrics. I listen to it every time that I could but whenever I watch lyric videos, the translations still blows my especially Tablo's Lesson tracks. Btw, a short fun fact, Tablo's called the "Lyrical Assassin" 😹 Thank you so much for reacting to them and enjoying the songs ❤

[@marumerong]

Thank you so much for reacting to Epik High ❤ They are such great artist and their lyrics are soooo poetic and well thought. And they are a group of dorks who love to make fun of each other. They did paved the way for so many artists. You mentioned RM,he and Suga really love Epik High and have sooo much respect for them, specially for Tablo. Whenever they get together you can totally tell the amount of respect they have for him and what a big source of inspiration they are for them. Same goes for B.I, they have been supporting him since early in his career and even when he had to stop music because of his scandal, they were standing strong by his side. I've just seen the four of them live together and you can tell how much they love each other. You said you were thinking of seeing them live. If you have the chance, TAKE IT. They are amazing in live, so fun and entertaining. Even though you don't know much about them, their energy and personalities are going to make you jump the hell out of you and have the best time ever ❤❤ They are the definition of showmen I also would like to suggest you a few songs. Fly, it's the song that blow them up, a classic. Don't hate me, it's very fun and i think you're going to enjoy it a lot. And one of my personal favs, Rain Song. But all their songs are amazing. I suggest you to check some of their interviews too 🔥 Sorry for the rant and thank you again for your work 💖

[@mariabernadethtare3924]

The song that made me love Tablo and Epik High was Rosario. Because the lyrics were like a message (well all their songs have hidden messages) but Rosario was really the one that hits me. Especially when I learned about what happened to Tablo years ago.

[@brandonvang2893]

Epik High is up there with the God fathers of Korean Rap. There's a reason why Tablo says "I paved the way for those paving the way" in Rosario.

I was able to convince 2 of my friends to see them in chicago with me this year and I'm so excited.

[@lspks99]

not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but the reason why every one of them had a different "set" in born hater is because they're each supposed to represent one of the 7 deadly sins, as follows: dj tukutz: sloth tablo: pride beenzino (the one with the shoe boxes): envy verbal jint (the one that comes in after beenzino): lust mithra jin: gluttony mino: wrath bobby: greed and b.i. is "the pure one", represented as a cleaner dressed in all white who's trying to clean up the mess all the others have made also, i highly recommend you read the lyrics to this song! one of my favorites from them for a reason

[@gaby5254]

Love that you reacted to Epick High they're so amazing and every time they make a comeback they make such a splash in the korean music scenes. Their albums are art.

Once again, I met EH thnx to YG lol I think it was thnx to the rendition Tablo did of Taeyang's Eyes, Nose Lips. Tbh I like his version more than Taeyang's, it's more raw, and hurtful. Anyways, I then found out Tablo and his daughter Haru were on Return of Superman, so I watched it and ended loving them both lolol. Then I went deep dive and read everything and anything I could about the Tajinyo issue -that made me have mad respect for Tablo. I love his way of thinking, and the ideas he pours in his songs. My ex was a big fan (thnx to me lol) so I gifted him some albums and his books (which ofc I read them too). Even if EH are no longer in YG, I still follow their music, they're just really good. They not only produce sick and adicting beats, but their lyrics do make you think and question everything.

[@secondubly]

I would say that Verbal Jint (the guy with the "suggestive" magazines in Born Hater) is probably one of the most influential korean hip hop artists; he's essentially the artist who created "rhyme schemes" in South Korea; he's one of my favorite artists. He actually dropped out of law school to pursue music (and you can see the law books in the back of his frame on the song) he does have a degree in...economics I think? I think if you were to check out anything from the hip-hop side then he, Tiger JK, and probably Dok2 would be some artists I'd recommend just due to their influence on the genre. I actually saw Epik High in concert when they came to the states, an amazing concert tbh 🙏🏾

Zico is considered the #1 Kpop group rapper 🙏 Legends!

[@dongsunchip]

tablo is a great rapper but i genuinely love and appreciate him as a lyricist so much… songs are mostly something i listen to enjoy but every time i listen to an epik high/tablo song i just have that need to look at and internalize the lyrics… he had a podcast called tablo’s podcast and a few vids he did on their channel and until now i retain and go by some of the lessons and advices i got from tablo… he’s just so wise and real and you just feel comfortable and understood when you listen to him, a very cool, genuine dude who’s gone through life, something about him feels so wholesome and human… plus he has a veeeery cute relationship with his daughter haru lol you’ll probably see that on his twitter sometimes

[@iiahfornow]

YES EPIK HIGH !! Had finally a change to see them live this year at paris, have been a casual fan for years. It was dream come through!

[@lamegamehero]

I love Epik High so much. They really did inspire so many people and so many artists (BTS included 😉). Tablo had a lot of songs directed towards haters because it was a big part of his journey. He got a lot of hate from this random psychotic group claiming that he was scamming his fans with his degree as he graduated with a masters in English literature from Standford in a really short time period, I think it was like 2 or 3 years. They started a huge community of people who hounded him and his family, friends, and anyone associated with him with hate and d**** threats. Even after the police investigated and prosecuted the culprits of this defamation, there are still people going. I guess his degree became such a big deal because he is known as this genius lyricist - but I fail to see how it would even matter even if he HAD scammed them. He's an amazing and poetic lyricist and he has a huge heart. I'm glad this whole ordeal has made him and Epik High even stronger. They keep putting out music and touring and it never stops being amazing. So much respect. His podcast was great too, and his Mindset was such a comfort to listen to.

[@passionable90]

Omg THANK you for checking out Epik high’s earlier tracks. They are soooo special.

I just saw them a few days ago in Detroit, it was an AWESOME show. They are really good performers and it was just FUN. 😁💜

Loved that you dove into Epik High! They’re so fire! Also their energy live is nuts! They had a show today here in Chicago. Hate I couldn’t see them again. My first introduction to Tablo (and as a result Epik High) was a collab he did with Eric Nam and Gallant called “Cave me In” that song is a masterpiece! Definitely suggest you checking it out if you’ve never heard it

I love Epik High. I'll be seeing them again in a couple weeks (they're on another US tour). Truly legendary!
