Epik High (에픽하이) Official Thread [#2023]

[Joanna]

i just watched the mv..

it kinda scared me at first and i didnt really understand it :/

but then again.. alot of Epik mvs confuse me ><

i think the guy is Lee Junki.. the part when she opened the bag.. it was definitely Lee Junki's eye.

it looks like him just with shorter hair haha.

but i find it weird how she kept him in that room and she watched him suffering and stuff through the cam T__T

and then comes to save him.

i'll probably get it when i understand the lyrics ><

[Guest Geenia]

Tukutz dance ~!!!! hehe

Tablo was so cute >.< when he sang Love Love Love song and Mithra Jin was so smart ~!!

내가 누군지는 몰라도

I don't know , who am i ~

[Guest shadowkeeper]

Here's a slightly longer summary of Fan.

The guy is in love with a girl and he's stalking her. She doesn't know who he is but he's watching her from a distance.

He dreams of getting close to her and he calls it a "crazy love". He mentions "making you know my name" and "keeping you in my cold heart".

The song really fits the MV, but in this, the genders are switched. I think this is helps make a giant comment on the crazy fangirls around today.

The vid reminds me of Seo Taiji's Heffy End with the creepy stalker girl and the trapped guy. I think this one had it worse though.

And about the guy, I really don't think he's Junki. They have similar eyes, but the rest of the facs is different.

<--- The guy from the vid.

Junki has a longer face.

[Guest nonwinky]

Hmm...I haven't listened to the CD yet, since I'm going to order it soon, but what is PiHaeMangSang's lyrics about?? You got me into my curious thinking mode, lol.

ok to be TOTALLY honest, i dont really get the whole song...

if you know korean, here are the lyrics

http://www.gasaman.com/zboard/view.php?id=...p;comment_not=1

from my understanding... he's about to take the last subway for the night... there's this girl there... he tries to talk to her but as soon as he touches her shoulder shes floating in the air... something bout her being dead, and cold blood... (im guessing this means shes a ghost, i dunno) i think the guy did something to her cuz it talks about the ghost hating him and following him... and then it goes on to talk about her eyes... how theyre looking for him... and how she's staring at him... hes trying to look away, but when he looks back at her, she's still staring at him. and then... there's a girl in the subway w/ him and the ghost girl is staring at her too... some guy in the next stop comes in and suggests the girl in the subway to get off at the next stop because of the ghost girl...

something along those lines. its confusing... but the way the lyrics are written is really... creepy lol

Tablo's explanation of each song

[Part 1 - The Brain]

1. The End Times (Opening)

- 연주곡.

instrumental

2. 白夜

- 음악인의 혼란스러운 일생을 자화상처럼 그리는 곡. 국내 힙합 최초로 100마디의 랩이 끊임없이 이어진 것이 특징인 곡이다.

A song that shows the crazy life of a musician. The special thing about this song is that for the first time in Korea's hiphop, there is a nonstop 100 word rap

3. 알고보니 feat. jinbo

- 숨 쉬고 있는 것조차 두렵고 무섭고 힘든 일이라고, "세상이 나에게만 못된 것 같다"라고 생각하는 이들이 공감 할 수 있는 곡이다.

A song where people who think even breathing is hard and painful, and feel like the world is evil to only me can sympathize.

4. 실어증 feat. paloalto

- 하고 싶은데 할 수 없는 말들은 누구나 맘속에 품고 있다. 비밀을 속삭이는 곡.

Everyone has things they want to say that they just keep inside. This song tells secrets (?)

5. Mr. Doctor feat. yankie

- 종말의 현상들은 실제로 눈에 보이는걸까? 그저 뇌 속에 피어오르는 신기루뿐일까? 음침한 라틴 사운드가 돋보이는 곡.

Are the conclusion to things really visible to the eyes? Is it just something that we make up in our minds? A song with Latin beats.

6. Runaway (Mithra's Word)

- 미쓰라의 솔로 곡. 혼란스러운 사회 속에, 자신만의 중심을 만들어야하는 이유들과 방법들을 논한다.

Mithra's solo songs. The song tells how to/reasons to create your own balance in this crazy (not good sense) society,

7. Exile (Halftime)

- 연주곡.

instrumental

8. Still Life feat. jinbo, the quiett, kebee, TBNY, MC Meta

rebelliousness is the shadow of youth. This song is a message of comfort for the people who can't control themselves because of frustration, anger, fear, and loneliness.

9. 피해망상 pt. 1 feat. junggigo

- 에픽하이 2집에 실렸던 '피해망상' 시리즈의 또 다른 에피소드. 소름끼치는 괴담을 음악으로 재해석 했다.

Another episode of the "PiHaeMangSang" series from epik's 2nd album. a scary ghost story remade into a song.

10. 희생양 feat. sweet sorrow

- 전쟁, 자연적인 재해... 대재앙의 수많은 victim들은 희생자들일까 희생양들일까?

war, natural disasters...are the victims of these casualties or sacrifices?

11. Nocturne (Tablo's Word)

- 타블로의 솔로 곡. 매일 밤 도시의 어둠속에서 일어나는 '죄'와 '벌'을 논한다.

Tablo's solo song. he talks about the daily happenings in the dark of crime and punishment.

12. 혼

- "누가 뭐래도 나는 절대로 내 꿈을 포기 못해." 가족을 잃어도, 마음을 잃어도, 몸을 잃어도, 혼은 지키겠다는 굳은 메시지가 강력한 곡.

1. Slave Song (Overture)

are we being pulled by the 'flow' of the masses, or are we goin to go against it? in a fake reality where art is terror and love is a drug, this is a song of rebellion against that.

3. love/crime - 'Fan'의 intro

intro to 'fan'

4. Fan

- 단어 'fanatic' (狂)의 준말로, '사랑'이란 감정이 극대화되면서 자신의 의지로도 어쩔 수 없이 느껴지는 소외감과 고통을 에픽하이만의 새로운 사운드로 표현하는 곡이다.

a shortened word of the word fanatic. when the emotion of 'love' is dramatically increased to the point that even w/ your own will you can't control your feelings of alienation and pain, expressed through epiki high's new sound.

5. 거미줄 feat. itta

- 숨 쉬는 것이 고통스러운 사람을 '구원' 하고 싶다면, 그 '구원'은 무엇일까? 불멸의 사랑을 얘기하는 단편 소설 같은 곡이다.

6. 선곡표 feat. dj zio of freestyle

14. Public Execution (Finale)

- 연주곡.

instrumental

tablo uses a lot of big philosophical korean words that i never learned in korean school (lol) so i might not have translated it 100% correct, but i think its a lot easier to understand the songs after reading these.

[Guest shadowkeeper]

ok to be TOTALLY honest, i dont really get the whole song...

if you know korean, here are the lyrics

http://www.gasaman.com/zboard/view.php?id=...p;comment_not=1

from my understanding... he's about to take the last subway for the night... there's this girl there... he tries to talk to her but as soon as he touches her shoulder shes floating in the air... something bout her being dead, and cold blood... (im guessing this means shes a ghost, i dunno) i think the guy did something to her cuz it talks about the ghost hating him and following him... and then it goes on to talk about her eyes... how theyre looking for him... and how she's staring at him... hes trying to look away, but when he looks back at her, she's still staring at him. and then... there's a girl in the subway w/ him and the ghost girl is staring at her too... some guy in the next stop comes in and suggests the girl in the subway to get off at the next stop because of the ghost girl...

something along those lines. its confusing... but the way the lyrics are written is really... creepy lol

I don't think the song is totally clear about what happened because it's from the guy's pov and he seems distorted, but I got the impression that he had killed this girl and he's being haunted by her.

He repeats wondering if her breathing has stopped, if she's gone cold, if she stopped looking at him resentfully.

The large time jump from 11:50 to 1:10 between the time he sees the girl on the street, she freaks him out, and he runs to get on the train also seems kind of strange.

There really weird part is this other guy gets on the train and he sees a/the strange girl.

[Guest StarCrystal]

epik high never had a single

They had a digital single, Rhapsody of Rain. D: Which I still want >_> ;;

PICTURE SPAM, PICTURE SPAM!!

Unless.. anyone here doesn't want a Tablo picture spam.

I'm frustrated that I don't understand Korean. I have absolutely no idea what the lyrics are, or what message they're trying to tell everyone. I'll just have to wait patiently for translations. T_T

[angelfightrJ]

Exile <------ Lyric didn't appear in this track .... but the sound was perfect !! great ~

Love Love Love is well , too.

Hang bok ham ni da <---- I love Kim Jongwhan of nell >.<

yeahhh i liked exile ^^...that song is on the epik high site ^^

to summarize the song in a super super short version...

the person is totally totally crazily in love with the girl... but the girl doesn't even know who he is.

i agree with what everyone's saying about the album being really dark.

i think the song styles are pretty similar to the 3rd album, but the lyrics are very dark.

for example... PiHaeMangSang's lyrics kinda creeped me out.

and the irony of "HaengBokHamNiDah"... when the song isn't happy at all (as someone mentioned before)... but i like it that way.

o_o are you serious? i thought the lyrics were girl POV haha;;;; i should look at them again =_=.

and yeah, i absolutely loved the irony...and the song's title...it's so different from the lyrics and the way they rap...it has this "lifeless" feel to it on purpose...like it's like...when people repeat "i'm happy" or "i'm okay" with a smile but theyre really not, thigns are not ok but they dont want to tell other people.

Here's a slightly longer summary of Fan.

The guy is in love with a girl and he's stalking her. She doesn't know who he is but he's watching her from a distance.

He dreams of getting close to her and he calls it a "crazy love". He mentions "making you know my name" and "keeping you in my cold heart".

The song really fits the MV, but in this, the genders are switched. I think this is helps make a giant comment on the crazy fangirls around today.

The vid reminds me of Seo Taiji's Heffy End with the creepy stalker girl and the trapped guy. I think this one had it worse though.

And about the guy, I really don't think he's Junki. They have similar eyes, but the rest of the facs is different.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/sha.../PDVD_000-1.jpg<--- The guy from the vid.

Junki has a longer face.

omg heffy end...that .... creeped me out lol. yeah i think they have similar eyes but he doesn't look like junki that much.

for some reason, at some angles he reminds me of the guy in banana boat that looks like Rain or something. :/

nonwinky ohhh thank you so much!! (: whoaaa i love the meanings to the songs<3. i really need the lyrics :X. and the translations.

They had a digital single, Rhapsody of Rain. D: Which I still want >_> ;;

are you serious? oh..haha...digital >< no wonder :X. i never heard it and it's not on the discography on their site x_x. haha;;; my bad, my bad x_x.

^Yep and a VERY cute nerd, might I add, haha! This is Tablo for those who don't really know him:

[Guest damifino]

I have a question... yesterday I saw an Epik High MV which I guess is their new one. Is the actress in the video Eunsung from Banolim 2? She looked familiar.

[vonn~]

i just finished watching the Fan MV, the music is really good.

but what i don't get is the story portrayed in the MV.

though, are there translations of the song yet?

the song is really addictive
