Tablo is the rapper, singer, lyricist, and composer of Epik High. Tablo has a Masters Degree from Stanford University (California, USA) where he majored in English Literature and Creative Writing. When he was 17 years old he wrote the song Rainy Christmas with the famous Korean singer Kim Gun-mo. While attending Stanford University, Tablo was part of an underground hip hop group known as 4n Objects, which caught the attention of CB Mass and Drunken Tiger, leading to them eventually offer to support Tablo in releasing a solo album in Korea.
Mithra Jin is the rapper and lyricist of Epik High. Mithra Jin had been featured on over 11 major albums in Korea even before Epik High's debut. Mithra Jin and Tablo met through the Movement Crew (a collaboration of hip hop artists who are determined to promote social and political awareness through hip hop culture and music), during a freestyle contest in Seoul. Mithra Jin was pursuing a solo career of his own, but with his artistic vision and style matching so well with Tablo's, the two decided to join together.
DJ Tukutz is Epik High's DJ, "the boy with the magic fingers". He started DJing in 1995, and has attended the Technics DJ School in South Korea. He has DJed in not only Korea, but also in Japan at raves, and in America on radio shows, live events and clubs around Boston and NYC. He had also composed many of Epik High's songs.
Epik High's debut album was Map of the Human Soul, released in 2003 and featuring some big Korean hip hop names such as CB Mass, Drunken Tiger and Yoon Mi-rae (T). This album and the following three (High Society (2004), Swan Songs (2005) and Remapping the Human Soul (2007)), have featured other well-known Korean artists such as Nell, Clazziquai Project, Loveholic, TBNY, unknownDJs, Pe2ny and more.
In 2005, Epik High won several awards including Best Hip Hop Artist at the Korean Gold Disc Awards, and a tie for Best Artist of the year. Their song Fly, from their third album Swan Songs was a huge hit, claiming the #1 place on many Korean TV music programs and online music charts. This song also appeared in the video game FIFA 07 as the signature Korean track.
Epik High, and especially Tablo, are often featured in the releases of other artists', and have formed several side-project including Blac Bakery, Blu Sunflower and A.R.K.
Their releases, Pieces, Part One and Remapping the Human Soul, featured a different style of music than their previous albums. Some songs more aggressive and controversial, and other more heartfelt.
In 2009, Epik High formed their own independent label, Map the Soul Inc., with their first release under this label being the book-album, 魂: Map the Soul. In late July, Epik High collaborated with the Korean electronic DJ team, Planet Shiver, to remix a number of Epik High's previous hits with the result being that of songs which sounded nothing like the original, yet still remained addictive. Epik High returned in September with a new two-disc album called [e], which consisted of 30 tracks, their largest yet. Altogether, the number of songs released for 2009 alone consisted of well over 50 tracks—including skits and remixes.
In 2010, despite the fact that DJ Tukutz temporarily left Epik High to enter the Korean army to perform his mandatory 2 year service, Tablo and Mithra Jin, now under Woolim Entertainment, were able to release Epilogue. This would be Epik High's last and only album under Woolim Entertainment before Mithra Jin joined the army to perform his service, and Tablo, disappearing from the spotlight as a result of harassment from Korean netizens who questioned the authenticity of his academic education at Stanford University.
With the completion of their army service in 2012 for DJ Tukutz and Mithra Jin, both members joined Tablo in signing with YG Entertainment, home to most notably, BIGBANG and 2NE1. With Tablo's release of his solo album, Fever's End under YG Entertainment in 2012, all members of Epik High are united again and are set to release their much anticipated album in September.

oh!
(가질수가 없어도)
내 머릿속에 서라도
(만질수가 없어도)
그저 헛된 꿈이라도
(말할수가 없어도)
멀리서 숨어서라도
You know I do
널 사랑한다고
내가 누군지는 몰라도
Tablo
Oh baby don't you know 내 이름도 모르죠
오늘도 밤새도록 맘 졸이고 그대 바라보고 있죠
Oh so beutiful 손에 쥔 당신의 독사진
세상의 환호성에 파묻힌 내 미친 사랑의 속삭임
듣고 있지도 않겠죠 난 죽어도 안되겠죠
그러겠죠 다음 세상에도 내가 누군지도 모르고 살겠죠
너무나도 그댈 가지고 싶어 난 돌이킬수가 없죠
오늘밤도 입을 맞추고 싶어 베개를 꽉 붙잡겠죠
Mithra
오늘이 우리의 첫 만남이 맞는거겠죠
그런 문답은 언제나 당신만 하는 거겠죠
나는 그대 뒷모습에 오늘도 말을 걸겠죠
항상 같은건데도 떨림에 인사를 건네죠
이 세상의 모든 귀를 막아도
그대만은 내 말을 들어줘
멀어지는 그대 뒷모습에 굳어가는 날 흔들어줘
멀리서 저 멀리서 점이되어가
어디에서 그댈 볼 수 있을까 (말해줘)
oh!
(가질수가 없어도)
내 머릿속에 서라도
(만질수가 없어도)
그저 헛된 꿈이라도
(말할수가 없어도)

You know I do 널 사랑한다고
내가 누군지는 몰라도
내 머릿속에 서라도
(만질수가 없어도)
그저 헛된 꿈이라도
(말할수가 없어도)
멀리서 숨어서라도
You know I do 널 사랑한다고
내가 누군지는 몰라도
Mithra
오늘은 왜 웃지 않고 있을까 그대
무슨 일인지 별일 아니었음 좋겠는데
시름이 가득한 그대 얼굴 난 볼 수 가 없는데
차라리 내가 아픈게 낫겠어 그럴 수 가 없는게
너무나도 안타까워
오늘 하루만은 날 반가워 잘있었죠
물어본다면 대답 할 수 있는 날 안아줘
닿지도 만질수도 안을수도 없는 그대여
오늘밤도 난 그댈 만나러 가요 내 꿈속에서
Tablo
꿈속에서라도 모두가 말리고 내 사랑 비웃더라도
미쳤다고 모두가 말하고 온 세상 지우더라도
당신은 내껀데 보잘것 없는 시선들에게 뺏겨 왜
No, 난 절대 못해 나만 바라보게 해줄께
모든걸 다 줄께 입맞출 때 세상을 다 가져다 줄께
절때 날 떠나가지 못하게 불이 꺼져버린 가슴에 가둘께
You are My star,
I'm your no.1 fan
baby please take my hand..
oh!
