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.

새벽 두시 차갑게 꺼진 전화기
아무도 내 맘을 모르죠
I can't stop love, love, love
아파도 계속 반복하죠
I can't stop love, love, love
전화기를 붙들고 밤새본 적
세상에 자랑해 본 적 (oh)
쏟아지는 비 속에서 기다려 본 적
그를 향해 미친듯이 달려본 적
몰래 지켜본 적
미쳐본 적, 다 보면서도 못 본 척
있겠죠 사랑해본 적
기념일 때문에 가난해본 적
잘하고도 미안해 말해본 적, 연애편지로 날 새 본 적
가족과의 약속을 미뤄본 적
아프지 말라 신께 빌어본 적
친굴 피해본 적, 잃어본 적
가는 뒷모습 지켜본 적
Can't stop love, love, love
미친 듯 사랑했는데 왜, 정말 난 잘해줬는데 왜
모든 걸 다 줬었는데 you got me going crazy
Can't stop love, love, love
죽도록 사랑했는데 왜, 내 몸과 맘을 다 줬는데
모든 걸 잃어버렸는데 어떻게
아무도 내 맘을 모르죠 (nobody know)
I can't stop (don't stop) love, love, love)
아파도 계속 반복하죠 (oh, here we go)
I can't stop (don't stop) love, love, love
있나요 이별 해본 적
빗물에 화장을 지워내본 적
긴 생머릴 잘라내본 적, 끊은 담배를 쥐어본 적
혹시라도 마주칠까 자릴 피해본 적
보내지도 못할 편지 적어본 적
술에 만취되서 전화 걸어본적
여보세요 입이 얼어본 적
있겠죠 이별 해본 적
사랑했던 만큼 미워해본 적
읽지도 못한 편지 찢어본 적
잊지도 못할 전화번호 지워본 적
기념일을 혼자 챙겨본 적
사진들을 다 불태워본 적
이 세상의 모든 이별 노래가 당신 얘길거라 생각해본 적
Can't stop love, love, love
미친 듯 사랑했는데 왜, 정말 난 잘해줬는데 왜
모든 걸 다 줬었는데 you got me going crazy
Can't stop love, love, love
죽도록 사랑했는데 왜, 내 몸과 맘을 다 줬는데

I can't stop (don't stop) love, love, love
I love you
I love you, I love you
바보처럼 울고 또 술에 취하고
친구를 붙잡고 그 사람을 욕하고
시간이 지나고 또 술에 취하고
전화기를 붙잡고 say love
아무도 내 맘을 모르죠 (nobody know)
I can't stop (don't stop) love, love, love

밤 열두시 술 취해 지친 목소리
