But, before they deliver another electrifying show, Tablo, DJ Tukutz, and Mithra Jin provided Philippine Concerts the opportunity to get to know the phenomenal trio who blessed the world with songs that resonate with every emotion, put truths into words, and give life moments the soundtrack we always deserved as they talk about their longstanding career, future plans, and advice to the next generation of artists.
It’s been almost two decades since you, DJ Tukutz, and Mithra Jin debuted as Epik High. How would you describe the last decades?
Tablo: It’s been an absolute roller coaster ride. The ups were exhilarating and the downs were frightening. I don’t think there is any group that has lasted this long after being through so many catastrophes. We are actually happy that we can show our fans not only how to rise, but how to rise again after falling. Not many artists can do that.
Is there anything you wish you had done differently when you first started?
Tukutz: I would’ve not met Tablo and become a boyband member.
Tablo: I would’ve not met Tukutz and become happy.
Mithra: No comment.
What is the most important lesson you’ve learned throughout your long career?
Tablo: Be strong. But before that, have fun.
Many artists look up to you and see you as a role model in the industry. What valuable lessons would you like other artists to take away from your career?
Tablo: Grow with your fans.
As part of this tour, you will be coming back to the Philippines. What type of memories did your last visit to Manila leave you with, and how does it feel to return to the Philippines and perform a solo concert again?
Mithra: We loved it so much we had to come back right away. Get tickets NOW!!!
What words will you use to describe your Filipino fans?
Tablo: Beautiful.
Tukutz: Kind
Mithra: Exciting!
What kind of show should Epik High’s Filipino fans expect this time?
Tablo: It will be the greatest show on Earth. It might also be the last time we perform in Manila for a long time, so don’t miss it.
What kind of music or album can we expect from Epik High in the future
Tablo: We have something almost ready. Let’s just say, it’ll be delicious.
Over the years, you have teamed up with numerous musicians. If you had the chance, among the artists you haven’t collaborated with, who would you want to work with and what kind of project would you collaborate on?
Tablo: We would love to work with Filipino artists! Recommend them to us!!! And us to them please!!!
No one can deny your major contribution to the Korean music industry and the music industry in general, with nearly two decades under your belt, an impressive discography, multiple accolades, and more. Your influence is truly incalculable. What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?
Tablo: We don’t have grand wishes. Just want someone to remember that Epik High was here.
