Tablo recently shared why he decided to explain the 'Tajinyo' controversy to his middle school-aged daughter.
On the October 2nd episode of MBC's variety show 'Radio Star,' which featured a 'YouTube Star' special, Tablo, Tukutz, Im Woo-il, and Kim Won-hoon appeared to share candid stories.
During the show, Tablo revealed that he personally explained the details of the 'Tajinyo' incident to his daughter, Haru.
He confessed, "I wanted to tell her myself how I overcame it before she heard any negative stories from others."
Tablo opened up about the past when the 'Tajinyo' controversy nearly led to the disbandment of his group, sharing the emotional turmoil and how he overcame it. He added, "The 'Tajinyo' group is still active, and I wanted to show my daughter how I got through those tough times."
Additionally, Tablo shared his educational philosophy, stating, "I don't force academic achievements." He explained, "Even though I have a good academic background, sharing profits equally with my team shows that life experiences are more important than academic credentials."
Back in 2010, Tablo faced allegations of falsifying his academic credentials from Stanford University, known as the 'Tajinyo incident.' He went to great lengths to clear his name, even visiting Stanford University and ultimately proving his credentials in court.
