✘ Their Music ✘

Epik High are mainly known for their song “Born Hater” that was a complete bop that featured amazing artist along with themselves obviously lol. Their music is absolutely fantastic, their songs are never the same(?) I don’t know if that’s a good way to explain it :sweat_smile: . It’s just like they always change their concepts and even if they have several sad songs or happy songs or bops they never sound the same. From the singing, to the rapping, and the beats these guys are so talented! They sing/rap about real things.. if that makes sense, I’m not saying that others don’t but you can feel the rawness of things when it comes to Epik High.

✘ Their Performances ✘

Their live performances are always unique and different from the last, take for example their MAMA 2014 performance. They used the screens in a unique way for “Happen Ending” and kinda focused on Yoo Inna singing on the main stage. Then for “Born Hater” they basically had everyone hidden and among the dancers with the bags on their heads. It was so cool and iconic and perfectly executed in my opinion. Another great performance from them was the one they did for MAMA 2012 it’s similar to how the 2014 one was. They focused mainly on Lee Hi during “It’s cold” (love that song so much) and they were on the screens. And then for “Don’t Hate Me” they came out looking like they just came from Gotham city and I loved it. In conclusion they genuinely have fun on stage and love to focus on the featuring Artists as well.

✘ Their Bond ✘

These three men are honestly like brothers, they’re so close and they’ve been through a lot together. I find their brotherly bond so cute because they’ve known each other for years and haven’t drifted apart yet and I love that about them! I feel like their bond is what makes them Epik High, they can be goofy but serious when needed and they genuinely care about each other. It makes me cry some soft happy tears ( don’t judge me ok ) I’m an emotional rat my doods, but seriously their strong bond is goals af if you disagree *cough* exit *cough* :door: :eyes: :coffee: .

✘ Their Personalities ✘

They’re all kind of the same but also different... if that makes sense, Tablo is goofy inspirational leader that’s always on Snapchat mimicking DJ Khalid and judging Tukutz’s Crocs XD. Tukutz is weird but quiet guy that’ll be goofy with the guys but when it comes to music he can be serious ( not always :eyes: :coffee: ) I live for his cute reaction to Tablo’s fan rap. Then you have the youngest Mithra who is full of energy in my opinion, he enjoys being around Tablo and Tukutz and having fun. He’s also just as serious as the others when needed, but can I just say they’re all some savages! Like my goodness I’d be scared to upset them, but then again I’d want to get dissed by them... ummm Nevermind that :eyes: . Long story short these guys are always there for each other and they’re like a weird goofy serious family. Also these three in interviews together are so weird and crazy :joy: .

✘ Their iveness ✘

They the heck out of artists/groups they see that have potential to be great artists! Epik High put so many artists on “born hater” including B.I and Bobby of Ikon who hadn’t even debuted yet! They’re always cheering their fellow label mates on and even people outside of their label such as: IU, Infinite, bts, and many more!

✘ They’re Them ✘

The final main reason as to why I love these dorks is because they’re them and they’ve never changed. They’ve always been themselves and they keep so real with their fans and people around them and I love it so much. They face lots of hardships that we might not even know about, but these guys keep pushing forward because they love what they do. They have families that they take care of love, and I feel like they naturally consider each other like a true family! I wanna mention a cute thing that happened, Tukutz’s son went to Tablo’s g and Tablo’s reaction was so cute!!! Okay I feel like this is all over the place but seriously these guys never changed to fit in with trends and what not, they stick to the kind of music that they love making and I’m proud of them for doing that.
