Epik High (에픽하이) Official Thread [#2023]

[chrissejin]

I'm definitely excited about the Epik High concert! But I believe all their shows are going to be at clubs (so most likely only for those who are 21+). I just wish the LA one was May 23rd instead...why!!!

[Guest gr3ent]

^ where did u hear about them only performing at clubs? that would be retarded since they have fans that are also under 21. but yeh, im super excited for the concert now that the dates have been released.

ooh, epik high is going to be on chocolate today in korea. i hope someone posts their perf online.

[Guest xradiostatic]

[Guest shai]

i really want to go to the NYC one. i guess the dates on Kero One's myspace are right

I think they gotta be right they are all the same time & dates as someone posted at mapthesoul boards.

I don't think Epik High is gonna have a club concert for only 21+ ages in Seattle..I read that its ALL AGES but only 21+ for drinking at the bar?

The group was unknown to many Koreans in the beginning of their career due to the lack of popularity of hip-hop music in Korea. They begun their success from Second Album, "High school, Lesson2(Sunset).. etc.". With the big success of their third and fourth albums (released in late 2005 and early 2007), they have become one of the most popular hip-hop groups in Korea.

Group Members:

Tablo (Korean Name 이선웅), (July 22, 1980) is the leader and rapper of the group. He was born in South Korea and moved to Canada when he was eight years old. Tablo is known not only for his appearance in Korean variety shows and sitcoms such as MBC's Nonstop5, but also for his Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing from Stanford University, California, USA.[4] Tablo was a big hip-hop fan ever since he could remember, listening to old Run-DMC and Cold Crush tapes and always rhyming around the way in South Korea. But there was one emcee who inspired him to take it seriously. After he heard Drunken Tiger rapping, he became part of a group called Epik High in 2000 and also claimed to be the first emcee to invent the rhyming rifle. In the fickle world of hip-hop, Tablo kept his name alive over the years by doing shows and various cameos with the EPMD. He is planning on making his own album later.

Mithra Jin (Korean Name 최진), (January 6, 1983) is a rapper in the group. Mithra Jin was originally a poet whose poems also worked as rhymes. Park emceeing and poetry readings were the first places where he met his future partner Tablo. They were introduced by a mutual friend and clicked right away because each other's style of poetic rhymes was comparable.

DJ Tukutz (Korean Name 김정식), (November 19, 1981) is the disc jockey for the group. DJ Tukutz first got into DJ-ing in the summer of 1995 while spending his time at illegal raves and warehouse parties, where his passion for the scene and music began. He started playing at local raves and parties in Japan's underground Hip-Hop scene, before moving up to South Korea in 2000 to attend the Technics DJ School. After returning from the academy, he hooked up with Tablo and headed to the states. He worked and DJ-ed on radio shows, live events and clubs around the Boston and New York City area.

Heechul's latest entry on his minihompy... it's about Mithra and Heechul doing his usual PR for his friends' latest projects including advertising mapthesoul.com

Also Heechul also included Epik High's latest release "Map The Soul" in his background music as well as the title of the minihompy being "Map The 希 (Hee)."

Yup... Epik High will be touring... with support from the Far-East Movement! Right now, it looks like the Seattle location seems to be the most confirmed with promotions going for it. This is going to be one heck of a tour!

The old rap parade was really ill and the crowd went nuts on Fly lol

[Guest sheart]

kinda doubt anyone will know wtf i'm talking about but....

does ANYONE else think MYK's part in 'Map the Soul (worldwide version)' sounds similar to Zion I's 'Bird's Eye View'?!

seriously (this isn't an accusation of copying, it's just that 'bird's eye view' was one of my favorite songs for a very long time..)

that was an adorable post heechul wrote about mithra <3

[Guest natnatnaz]

On tablo's blog on mapthesoul.com theres a post with a gif of him crying during the performance. he loooks soo sad. does anyone know when that was??????

This was answered for me a few pages back

It was actually during the parade concert. They sang Pieces of You at the end and it was just really emotional. The song is about his father. You could hear the emotion in his voice at the end. The whole this left me speechless. In a word it was EPIK haha...

[Guest prisonerzero]

Anyone remember how long it took to get the album shipped once you ordered it? I ordered it during the weekend and it still says Preperation for Delivery or something. I just want to know if I did something wrong or if it's just taking a while.

[Guest mj07]

Just wondering if anyone on a Mac has been able to order yet? I kept thinking they would send out an email when PayPal is set up, but still nothing...

Darthvader posted in the SHOP Q&A:

Shipping Internationally (reasons for delay)

We are aware many of you have successfully made payments and are waiting for shipments. We have held on international shipments until Thursday Korea time for many reasons I will explain below.

1. Too many people have asked for last minute changes. This requires us to manually fix your order. This takes a lot of time to make sure there are no mistakes.

2. Since we know that international shipping is very expensive, we want to make sure that every order is delivered perfectly. As you are aware all sales are final, exchanging your orders after it has shipped is not allowed.

3. We are still getting requests to change orders even though our shipping date was set for 4/6.

For all of the above reasons your orders have been kept here at the store.

Please check after Thursday Korean time.
