Tablo, “I live day by day, focusing on being a good father and husband even if it takes a long time”
Epik High appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 3rd.
On this day's broadcast, Epik High mentioned the title song 'Fly' of their hugely successful 3rd album. Yoo Jae-seok said, “BTS RM and Suga also talked a lot. They said they dreamed of becoming rappers after hearing this song.” He then asked, “Isn’t it a bit emotional to see these people who were dreamers become world stars, and we even worked together?”
Tablo said, "We continue to work with RM and Suga. What I'm thankful for is that those friends say so, so when we go on a world tour, a lot of their fans come. Now, thanks to those friends, we can continue to make music for a longer time. “Isn’t it possible?” he answered.
In 2010, the number of members of the so-called 'Tajinyo' (Demand the Truth from Tablo) cafe grew to over 200,000, raising suspicions about Tablo's academic background being falsified. Tajinyo raised suspicions that Tablo, who graduated from Stanford University, had falsified his academic background. Tablo was in the news every day, and after a legal battle, his name was cleared.
Epik High member Tukutz said, "Since I can't provide direct help, the only thing I can do is comfort. But will comfort be heard? The whole world is shooting arrows at me. It's just frustrating, so I'm holding on together." Mithra said, “Isn’t that what happens to those people? This person has to live a life and has a family, so I think he was very angry.”
Tablo said, "As soon as that happened, Haru was born. After becoming a father, I had responsibilities, but now I had no work. That happens sometimes because I have become a person who cannot live in society. When there are so many people, it is clear that among these “There will be people who don’t like me, but there are times when I wonder if I will be safe.”
Tablo also said, "At that time, my qualifications as a human being were over. When I walked on the street, people would come up and swear at me. They would point fingers at me. If I went to a restaurant with Hyejeong and Haru, I would swear so loudly that everyone could hear me. But my family “I should be able to travel comfortably on the road. I should be able to eat. I have to protect my family first. I lived every day with the thought that it was my job to do that,” he confessed.
Tablo said, "I am very comfortable. The extent to which I am comfortable is that one day, Tukutz couldn't find his cell phone in the recording studio. His cell phone rang near the sofa. When I called, a picture designated as me would appear. In the documentary I filmed at school at the time, “I looked like I was crying, saying, ‘It’s not that I don’t believe it, it’s that I don’t believe it,’” he explained.
In response, Tukutz said, “This is an extremely private area, so there is no reason to be criticized.” Tablo said, “They captured a picture of me crying profusely. They designated it as that and it went up.” Tukutz said, “Isn’t true healing only possible when pain is sublimated into laughter?”
Tablo said, “When I was having a hard time, my brother (Yoo Jae-seok) came to visit me and made me laugh a lot. Do you remember?” Yoo Jae-seok said, “I remember. It made me laugh a lot.” Tablo said, "I remember laughing that day for the first time in a long time. When I was at my hardest, my brother came to me and said something funny, so I actually laughed for the first time." Yoo Jae-seok said, “Tablo held back at first and then started laughing.”
