Epik High has perfected a blistering chemistry where even trash talk becomes an art.

The group Epik High showcased an irreplaceable charm with unfiltered ‘real-friend’ talk. On the afternoon of the 7th, Epik High uploaded a new episode on their YouTube channel EPIKASE.

In the video, the members opened the floor to ‘legally sanctioned backbiting’ and kept up daring, fact-based jabs over each member’s contribution and position in the team. When Tukutz first lobbed a mischievously spicy provocation“Mithra’s share in the team is 0%”Tablo stepped in as a sturdy shield, saying, “Without Mithra, the team called Epik High couldn’t even exist,” sealing their bickering frenemy chemistry.

Tablo then rolled out a deft soccer analogy, likening himself to nonstop ‘centering’ and Mithra to a steady ‘defense’. By contrast, about Tukutz he revealed, “He usually doesn’t run, only sneaks in a kick when the ball drops at his feet, and always hogs the celebration alone in front of the camera,” turning the set into a sea of laughter.

A ‘mental age’ chat that offered a glimpse into the members’ real traits added to the fun. Tablo joked, “My mental age seems stuck around 18. Before long, my daughter Haru will be more mature than me.” Hearing this, Tukutz chimed in, “Tablo lives with the mindset of a perpetual twenty-year-olda kind of Peter Pan syndrome.” At the same time, he offered a sharp analysis: “Mithra usually comes off like a dignified man in his fifties, but once he drinks, he turns into a fifteen-year-old neighborhood ringleader.”

Tablo fired back as well: “Tukutz has always thought like an old man. Now that he’s gotten older, his mental age finally matches his actual years.” About Mithra, he added, “In a good way, he’s as pure as a five-year-old dolphin,” revealing his special affection for his bandmates.

The highlight of the tell-all was leader Tablo’s poignant appeal. It was revealed that even when the usually talkative Tablo sends long, affectionate messages, Tukutz and Mithra mercilessly ignore them. He even jokingly lamented that the production staff right beside him don’t reply to his messages either, prompting nonstop bursts of laughter.

The members shared memories of their most impactful shoots and confessed the touching backstory of how they came to start YouTube. As they usually shy away from being photographed, they wanted to leave a record of memories they could one day look back on and laugh together about, and the sincerity of how Tablo spent a full year persuading them came through, delivering a quiet sense of poignancy.

At the end of the video, when asked what they wished for one another, Tablo answered without hesitation, “I hope no one gets sick. All that matters is that we stay healthy,” expressing his tenderness. Even Tukutz and Mithra, who had been trading cutting jokes, silently nodded, proving the deep, warm camaraderie only a long-running group can show.

Epik High continues close communication with the public by showcasing a variety of self-produced content every week on their official YouTube channel.
