"Now I feel completely relieved!" Hip-hop group Epik High continues to succeed as YouTubers, effectively erasing the absurd 'Tajinyo' controversy from 15 years ago.
On 7th, the moment Epik High members received the gold button to celebrate surpassing 1 million subscribers was revealed on the Epik High YouTube channel.
Tablo was delighted to personally receive the gold button while exploring various parts of YouTube's headquarters. Tukutz and Mithra felt the same. Particularly, they visited the cafeteria and cafeteria of the YouTube and Google headquarters to eat and meet local staff. Among them, fans who recognized Epik High approached them for greetings, signatures, and photos.
However, the real event unfolded at the moment they finally received the gold button: the complete healing from the 'Tajinyo' incident that troubled Tablo 15 years ago. Tukutz and Mithra led Tablo to Stanford University, his alma mater and close to YouTube's headquarters.
Tablo was recognized as a talented individual from Stanford University, a prestigious university in the U.S., grabbing attention due to his illustrious background from the start of his debut. However, in 2010, during the peak of Epik High's popularity, an anti-cafe called 'We Demand the Truth from Tablo' (abbreviated as Tajinyo) was created, questioning his academic credentials. It was an absurd incident, but Tablo was deeply hurt, even having to visit Stanford University through 'MBC Special' to prove his alma mater.
In response, Tablo was baffled and said, "Why would I go there?" But Tukutz and Mithra nonchalantly insisted, "We're on the way there." Particularly, they persistently sought the landscaping trees of Stanford University that Tablo had used as a background in 'MBC Special.' Their playful demeanor, reminiscent of mischievous boys preparing to tease a friend, evoked laughter.
Eventually, Tablo was perplexed by the ongoing playful reactions from Tukutz and Mithra, saying things like, "I actually attended there," and "What are you trying to do on the day we receive the gold button?" and "That's evil," and "Diabolical XX." Nevertheless, Tablo went along with their words. When Tukutz pulled out a black beanie and a gray hoodie reminiscent of Tablo from 'MBC Special,' he was astonished but wore it, adding to the humor.
It was a scene that felt consistently playful yet emotional. Most importantly, Tukutz said to Tablo, "I have now shed all my pain and sorrow and have been fully cured," urging him to smile brightly. After taking a picture, Tablo hugged Tukutz and Mithra, appearing teary-eyed. He humorously added, "I was already healed," making the situation lighthearted once again.
Still, Epik High's ability to humorously and sincerely address even the absurd 'Tajinyo' incident that once stirred up the public 15 years ago drew applause from fans. Tukutz's remark, "Now I feel completely relieved," added a cheerful resonance.
