ZICO's lines are not really translating well since his punchlines are mostly based on Korean-specific wordplays. "I'm catholic, so even in the face of death I never lost faith in my art" is a translation of "난 가톨릭 죽을 위기에 처해도 절실히 예술을 믿었었지" and it's a wordplay on the words "예수를 (Jesus)" and "예술을 (Art)" being pronounced the same. Melon in "I swallowed up all of Melon" is a reference to Korean music streaming service called Melon. "내용은 몰라 그저 책잡기만" is translated to "Don't even know what you're saying but you keep talking", which is the general gist, but once again it's a wordplay on the word "책" which could mean book, but also fault. And "Hide your identity because you never had one" is also a wordplay. It's originally "실명은 꺼리겠지 보이는 게 다니까" and if translated literally it means "You would avoid 실명 (which could mean 'real name/identity' and also 'blind eyes'), cause what you see is everything." But aside from those lines, the translations cover almost every punchline! I think they did it on their own so they convey the most little detail as possible.

TABLO- “I paved the way for everyone paving the way” - shhheeeeeiiittttt Lets Go TABLO 🔥🔥🔥💪🏻 love when he flexes ! So Zico is the second rapper and was originally from bb BlockB. Zico stepped out on his own and created his own company that almost didn’t make it. But Last year he came out with a song that scored a PERFECT ALL KILL. 5:33 So when he said he “Swallowed Melon” he was just saying it as it is. A certified all-kill is given to songs that score No. 1 on the daily and realtime charts of Melon, Genie, Bugs, Mnet, Naver, and Soribada; and the realtime charts of Flo and iChart. Watch U-Knows comeback- Thank U!!!

I think this song is getting more attention because of CL and Zico, honestly. You're certainly right that some reactors only follow trends or big hits or certain popular groups. I've quit watching a few channels because they never react to anything in interested in or to older groups/non-current or smaller/non-popular groups (although I've never unsubscribed). I do prefer channels that have a mix of old and new Kpop and especially willing to branch out to different Korean music. Sticking to only popular Kpop gives a limited view of a vast array of music.

Zico is an incredible artist and rapper as well. One of the best in the business. I highly recommend you check out his songs "Any Song" and "Human". He also did an awesome, jazzy collab with IU called "Soulmate". As for Epik High, they really are the ogs. They've been at it since the early 2000s. This is their tenth album. They massively influenced artists like BTS, in particular RM and Suga. Epik High consists of 3 members. Tablo is the first one who raps here. He's the leader of the group and a master lyricist. DJ Tukutz is their producer. He doesn't rap or sing in any of the songs, but he produces the beats along with Tablo and appears in their mvs with the other members. The last member is Mithra. Mithra is the one with the growly rap voice and the beard. The other (much younger) guy who rapped here, starting the second verse is Zico. Hope that it clears it up for you :)

Also this song is more about the whole “WOKE and cancelled culture” and of course to their antis/haters. It’s damn true that EPIK HIGH, CL, and ZICO.. has inspired this generation of idols. They literally paved the way and opened these opportunities internationally for the new gen to continue spreading korean music... not just kpop, but khiphop, k-r&b, and k-rock.. even Korean trot or Korean novice songs. Mind you... technology and social media.. social platforms wasn’t so advanced back then. We get access to so many things nowadays.. content, English translations, KZbin, Twitter, TikTok, and etc wasn’t at the fore front from 2003-2013. But 1st, 2nd, and early 3rd Gen Korean artists truly started everything and set the records.. and literally PAVED THE WAY.. instead of talking BS like these haters or antis.. they should appreciate and respect them.. they all inspired these new groups/artists.. even the most popular and hottest Korean artists looked up to EPIK HIGH, CL (2NE1), and ZICO (BLOCK B).

Zico started as an underground rapper with his friends one of them being RM from BTS, he then became the leader of the kpop group BlockB and wrote and produced most if not all their music. He got so much hate especially from the hiphop community for being in a kpop group, he got even more hate when making his own label that everyone thought would fail when he proved them all wrong by killing it in the charts. He has a few songs about what he’s went through with the hate and criticism and he has a unique flow and can switch up different styles. I would highly recommend checking out - Bermuda Triangle feat. Crush and Dean (two of his friends from his hiphop group Fanxy Child also watch the one with eng subs), Veni Vidi Vici, Anti and Okey Dokey (Mino feat Zico) those are my top recommendations, but Tough Cookie, Say Yes Or No and Artist are also good lol. Epik High is a 3 member group - Tablo (first rapper missing his heart), DJ Tukutz (guy with the sunglasses) and Mithra Jin (rapper with the facial hair who looks like a mob boss lol) They had a huge influence on the music industry, but also went through hell when a group of trolls started a rumor that Tablo lied about graduating from Stanford University and it blew up into a huge scandal even though Stanford themselves came out and proved he had graduated with a degree, hundreds of thousands of people still didn’t believe it and it got so bad with death threats that him, his wife and daughter had to leave to go into hiding, but they overcame it and came back stronger eventually, but their lyrics always have so much meaning behind them. I'd also suggest their song Born Hater feat. Beenzino, Verbal Jint, Mino (from Winner), Bobby and B.I (from Ikon). Always love how real and genuine your reactions are and will continue to watch and support you the best I can 😊 Edit: Also CL was the leader of the group 2ne1 who like BigBang their YG big bros where huge and broke all kinds of records and also like Bigbang was one of the first kpop groups to make adding hiphop into the mix popular

Also, the lyrics before that said "zico has fallen on his high horse, but a year later, i swallowed melon" tells a lot about how he come back from failure and hatred to who he is now. He makes great songs. And epik high, oof no words. Just poetry, word play and mindfucking plots. To interpret their lyrics, is more than just love.

Also, Zico’s real name is WOO JIHO.. and ZICO is usually pronounced ZEE-CO.. but Zico plays around with his name a lot when he introduces himself in songs.. so you hear him say Z-I-CO.. it sounds like he’s saying Z-A-ICO.

About the remote, what I think/thought is he is turning the "TV" off: so shutting up everyone/killing the haters/media/whoever talks sh*t, you can cancel them out and ignore them, like you don't like something you are watching on the tv and change the channel/turn it off. Also not much work to do so (like the dusting you off part).

Dang, I really appreciate this reaction so much YOU DONT EVEN KNOWWWWWW. The way you went in-depth with the lyrics, and the video puts a lot more meaning to the whole song in general. I don't even like watching Kpop reactions that much because when other people do it... you can tell they are not really that appreciative and lowkey just want to gain clout from the fanbases. But I LOVE YOUR CONTENT ONGGGGG

Loved your insights on this song and M/V! One of their songs called 'Born Hater' is also shot vertically for their music video. loads of rappers inc bobby and mino participated like a cypher or compilation! It has so many symbolisms and the beat is insane!!! Hope to see u check it out you'd defo love it :)

Yassss love Epik High, as you listen to more of their stuff you will fall in love with them more! And Zico is prounounced like you said it the first time zeeee-co! Also, people checking out more Epik High I personally think it had to do with the features CL (former 2NE1 leader ) and Zico (former Block B leader) they are highly known idols! We haven’t gotten much content from CL in a while so people be thirsty for some good stuff and well, Zico never fails to put out good tracks plus he’s in the military right now so people wanting to know what’s up

imo i think mithra's door scene is like ppl always trynna force/dig their way in on someone else's life just to have something to drag on even the littlest mistake anyone can have. Or invading privacy given the angle of the camera- that's most of like every media and obsessed ppl do

What's funny is that Epik High used this video format in their MV Born Hater (2014).... a good time before TikTok came (2016). So, them using this format again? My interpretation is that instead of trying to "stretch their horizons to new eyes"... they're EDUCATING a whole new generation of people of what it took for their faves to get where they are. This is a history lesson. In the words of Tablo, "I paved the way for everyone that is pavin' the way..." And dude. Those are actual facts. ACTUAL Facts.

I don't know if this have something to do with the whole thing but CL's shoulder pads were kind of tall or high? In Korea they usually symbolize having tall shoulders as pride. If you've watch a lot of Korean tv shows they'll put the edit where the shoulder is stretched to be taller when someone is being high praised. Edit: I just realized that in CL's room there is The 7 Deadly Sins painting. I think it have something to do with pride. (Disclaimer: I'm not Korean so correct me if I'm wrong and English is not my first language so the sentence might have grammatical issues and also messed up.)

If I may suggest.. Please listen to Remapping the Human Soul album. That album got me hooked to Epik High 12 years ago. I believe the album was censored in South Korea cause of the lyrical content but even so, it gained commercial success. CD 2 has 2 of their popular or rather mainstream tracks: "Fan" and "Love , Love, Love". The rest you gotta just lay down and intently. Haha. They won album of the year then!! :D
