Tablo from the group Epik High revealed the reason he does not pressure his daughter Haru about her academic background.
On the broadcast of MBC's entertainment program 'Radio Star' on the 2nd, Tablo, Tukutz, comedian Lim Woo-il, and Kim Won-hoon appeared for a YouTube star special.
On that day, Tablo mentioned, "My daughter Haru is 13 years old," and added, "She went through puberty without any issues. We get along like friends."
Kim Gu-ra asked, "Don't you get involved in her studies?" and Tablo responded, "It feels a bit strange for me to tell Haru that academic background is important," drawing attention. He then joked, "Even though I have a good academic background, I'm currently earning only a fraction of what Epik High makes."
Tukutz playfully chimed in, "What's the big deal about Stanford when filming hiking content?" However, he also mentioned, "Tablo's prestigious university background has been a tremendous help in promoting Epik High," acknowledging Tablo's contributions.
Tablo stated, "That academic background almost caused the team to fall apart due to the Tajinyo incident," and added, "'Tajinyo' is still alive. There are still people active in it," evoking a sense of regret.
Tablo explained that he had discussed the incident with his daughter Haru. He said, "I didn't want her to learn about it from someone else, so I told her directly. I mentioned that she might face unpleasant experiences when she becomes an adult, but I want her to see her dad overcoming those challenges," revealing the reason for explaining the unfortunate incident directly.
Tajinyo is an abbreviation for the online cafe 'We Demand the Truth from Tablo,' which was established in 2010. They claimed that Tablo's assertion of graduating from the prestigious Stanford University was false and accused him of 'academic fraud.'
Despite Stanford University confirming Tablo's graduation, the attacks continued, and Tablo filed lawsuits against the participants of Tajinyo. Nine key members were sentenced to prison.
