Tablo from 'Radio Star' revealed that Tukutz declared the disbandment of Epik High in the past.
On the 2nd, in the MBC variety show 'Radio Star' (hereinafter 'Ras'), Tablo, Tukutz, Im Woo-il, and Kim Won-hoon grants appeared for a special on 'YouTube stars.'
That day, Kim Gu-ra asked Tablo and Tukutz, 'Have you been maintaining your bromance for 23 years while picking on each other?' Tablo noted, 'It's not that we just mess around for fun; we actually poke at each other. I am really different. My personality is completely F, and his is completely T. We're both E, so we're noisy, but we clash differently. Mitsurajin presents it nicely as a mediator but gets involved. The two of us tend to bicker a lot.'
Tukutz also said, 'Instead of criticizing others, we criticize each other,' and humorously remarked to Tablo, 'I don't like how you look.'
In response, Tablo said, 'For no reason, before going on stage, we look at each other and say that we look like flowers. We do it really often.' He added, 'When we go on overseas tours, we tour together. He suggested going to see art, and we went to the UK, but if he isn't impressed, he stays quiet, yet each painting he says, 'What is this? I could draw it too.' The paintings are by Leonardo da Vinci.'
He further revealed, 'It was my birthday party. He even came late, and as soon as he sat across from me, he said, 'I'm tired.' After taking a bite of meat, he said, 'It's not that great.' Everyone gasped, and Jang Doyoun pinpointed, 'Is he not just rude, but also lacking in manners?'
Unable to hold back, Kim Gu-ra asked, 'Do you act like that at home with your wife too?' Tukutz answered, 'Absolutely not.' However, Kim Gu-ra insisted, 'Still, aren't these statements somewhat true?' to which Tukutz replied, 'There's a lot of MSG in it, but didn't he give me an unforgettable birthday gift in life? Remembering it, right?'
Above all, Tablo mentioned that Tukutz sometimes experiences sudden bursts of emotion every 2 to 3 years and recounted an early debut incident. The song 'Day of Peace,' which was composed to connect with the public, received the highest response since their debut. Regarding this, Tablo recalled, 'It's a precious song to us. After activities as Epik High, we were overjoyed with the response, but Tukutz didn't share the same enthusiasm.'
He continued, 'He said to express any dissatisfaction, but from the back seat, he kicked my chair and said, 'I didn't want this fake hip-hop.' He even declared disbandment.'
Tablo stated, 'From his perspective, it's about protecting hip-hop,' and Tukutz explained, 'We just needed to find a middle ground, but he was too young. He quickly called the CEO and said he couldn't do it. The CEO came running and sat us down, saying, 'Jeongsik is saying he can't do it. There's no need to disband; it seems that Jeongsik can just leave.' This brought laughter.
Three years later, in 2007, he said he also had a sudden burst of emotion while singing at karaoke. He declared disbandment again, but the CEO's reaction was the same. Tablo mentioned, 'What's funnier is that Mitsurajin, who had been an observer, commented, 'That was easier' as this incident became the second time.' This added more laughter.
