On the 20th of January, YG presents announced that HIGHGRND will be having its own radio slot this upcoming Thursday. The announcement mentioned that Hyukoh, Code Kunst and The Black Skirts would also be participating along with Epik High.

The announcement as follows:

Veteran Korean HipHop group Epik High and seasoned radio personality Tablo, comes to YG presents . Tablo will be joined by fellow band members Mithra Jin and Dj Tukutz as well as his independent label HIGHGRND’s artists HYUKOH, Code Kunst and The Black Skirts. Tune in every Thursday 9PM ET/ 6Pm PT beginning Jan.21st!

The description makes it seem like it is a recurring segment but we’re still not 100% sure if it’s just HIGHGRND or not.

Since YG Presents is for American fans, we presume that the segment will provide English translations on air.

At present this segment is on DashRadio which is only available in the USA, however you can get past the region block using a VPN such as Hola [OP note: seriously do not use Hola] on the web platform. In regards to mobile apps – I couldn’t download the Apple app but the Android app works fine for out of USA fans.

Android store link: https://t.co/uK03vtIbi2
when you first enter the site/app it’ll show some sign in screens, it isn’t mandatory to have an account so you can click the “listen without signing in” option.

YG presents is under the Kpop category.

If anybody is a bit confused like I first was: Highgrnd is apparently going to have a recurring(?) radio segment on the YG Presents DashRadio channel starting this evening U.S. time. You can listen on desktop, Android or iPhone and you don't need an account.

is it broadcasted in english? or korean?

Not sure. It will probably be a bit of both because it says the app is US only but not all of the guests speak English. They might just play songs; idk how much talking there will be.

What's wrong with Hola? I don't use it, just curious.

I used to have it and thankfully never used it that much. I'm pretty sure Tunnelbear is a safe alternative but it only works between US/UK; useful for watching BBC iPlayer but not much else.

i'm listening to the station right now and tablo just raised my expectations of lee hi's album. he said the majority of it is done, i can't wait for it to be released.
