Tablo from the group Epik High confessed about the conflict he had with Tukutz.

On the broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star' on the 2nd, Tablo, Lim Woo-il, Tukutz, and Kim Won-hoon appeared as guests.

That day, Tablo said, "When Tukutz and I bicker, there are times when one of us gets offended and Tukutz suddenly explodes. It happens once every 2-3 years."

Tablo recalled, "It was about 2-3 years after our debut. We released 'Peace Day' and the public response was not bad. It reached 11th place on the music charts. I was so happy, but Tukutz had a bad expression both in the waiting room and backstage."

He continued, "I asked him in the car, 'Are you dissatisfied with the activities?' and he said no. When I told him to speak up if he was dissatisfied, Tukutz kicked the back of my chair and got angry, saying 'I didn't want this fake hip-hop'." This surprised everyone.

Hearing this, Tukutz said, "Please remember that this is a story from 21 years ago. If I say this now, I would be crazy." He added, "When we first formed Epik High, each of us had our own vision. It was a process of finding a middle ground, but I was worried we would lean too much towards popularity. We just needed to find a middle ground, but we were too young."

Meanwhile, 'Radio Star' airs every Wednesday at 10:30 PM.
