As Tablo signed an exclusive contract with one of the country’s largest music agencies, YG Entertainment, the curiousity of what will happen to the 3-membered group Tablo is affiliated with, also known as ‘Epik High’, has been garnering much of the netizens’ attention.

To get to the conclusion, it seems as if there will be no disbandment for the group.

Spoken by a representative party from the music industry, that although Tablo shook hands with YG Entertainment and released a statement about a solo comeback on November 1st, he and the other members of Epik High (DJ Tukutz and Mithra Jin) are still in close relations with each other and are on great terms. With this said and his first solo album being released, the chances of Epik High’s activities and promotions as a whole group will be far more successful.

Thus, with Mithra Jin currently serving actively in his military duties, Epik High’s comeback and promotions will have to be held back until his return. Mithra Jin entered for his duties last August and will be discharged from the military service next May or June.

On the other hand, DJ Tukuts safely served all his duties and was discharged this past August.

As disbandment issues have not been mentioned after the official announcement of Tablo and YG Entertainment’s signing, they have spoken that the chances of Epik High remaining as a whole is definite.

big EH fan but I dunno about this YG business...will the others sign with YG then? Or will YG just let Tablo work on EH separately :/? What would happen if one of them doesn't want to sign with YG?


I'm conflicted.

What Tablo is doing with YG is independent. It's up to YG if he wants to offer the others contracts.

I was happy about the YG news, but confused as to how Epik High would work out. If they say Epik High will still be able to release music together however, then I'm happy. Perhaps YG and Tablo worked it out so that Tablo would be able to make music with Epik High? He is an established artist after all, so it wouldn't be far fetched if YG gave him more lee-way.

shinhwa technically belongs to different companies and yet they can still release things.
likewise with ss501.

Yeah that's why I think it's possible. It's just that Tablo signed an exclusive contract, and usually that entails NOT working with another company. Who knows...:/

i like that ppl were worried that tablo being signed to YG automatically meant a whole new sound. i'd say YG has been really good at letting GD&TOP, taeyang, and seungri establish their own shit for their solos. i really doubt that tablo's artistic integrity will be compromised.

I think it'll be like PSY's signing w/YG. To my understanding, Psy had full control over his music and just had YGE as a distributor.

PSY album was awesome too. I highly doubt YG enforces a music code or something .

I am very much happy that Tablo is coming back and making music again. I am beyond excited. But, even though I am a huge YG stan, I don't know how to feel about this :o Tablo is an clever guy, so pretty sure he must've got a good deal in terms of freedom with his music and who he works with etc. I do hope for an Epik High reunion when Mithra comes back though ;.;

I doubt YG would restrict tablo's music style. I mean, look as PSY. YG isn't stupid.

I think he is in good hands, and I don't think that fans should worry about YG trying to change his style. Either way, he is better off in a bigger company that got his back, unlike his last one.

COUNTING DOWN TO NOVEMBER 1ST HOMG. EVEN THOUGH THAT'S THE FIRST DAY OF MY FINALS.

OT, but when will tukutz become a daddy :D

So perfect! On of my favourite artists and my favourite company joining forces! I don't understand what people are worrying about- Papa YG doesn't dictate his artist's sound (look at the difference between PSY and 2EN1 for example) and he seems to treat his artists really well so I'm just looking forward to seeing what comes of this!

Officially starting a countdown till November 1st now!

Thank god! When I saw the news, I was really worried that Epik High would disband, but as long as they stay together and Tablo is okay, I'm good. ^^

At least it gives Tukutz time to enjoy being married. But holy Jesus it will be the best comeback ever, I'll probably cry and vomit at the same time.

UGH I am so excited I can't.

they already said that no more Epik High music would be made until they are all together again. So this just means solo albums in the meantime.

YG seems like a pretty decent boss for an artist, even if he doesn't really promote anyone but BB and 2NE1. But for Tablo that could be a plus, he doesn't seem like he's in the mood to do a bunch of TV appearances rn and with YGE he can take it slow.

That was all I needed. Now I can be totally elated about Tablo's comeback and future releases from Epik High. I don't care what label he's with as long as he's doing what he wants to do. It'll be awesome.

There's a lot of good news in my fandoms lately. Finally.

i need more tablo in my life. though i'm disappointed he signed with yg, i'm just glad that epikhigh is staying together ..

I think this is actually a really incredible fit. Tablo (and Epik) really belongs at YG--it matches their sound and their attitude. I hope YG signs all of Epik, but will see. I doubt this is remotely anywhere near the end of Epik.

idk man, I really liked Woollim Ent - they have Nell and Jisun, both artists that Tablo's had something of a connection with and has worked with multiple times. With him under YG, who's he going to feature now, Bom? He better have negotiated this contract such that he has pretty complete artistic freedom and can work with whoever the hell he wants, cross-company.

And whatever happened to being Infinite's ~mentors~ or whatever?

Date: 2011-09-28 04:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kikai-ni-naru.livejournal.com
They have never been Infinite's mentors, producers etc, just hyungs. Nothing official.
And Woollim didn't give a fuck about Blo when he was dragged into this controversy - that's why he left and I totally support his decision.
And what is bad him sighing with YG? Not like he will become an idol, learn to sing and dance and will sing about lollipops. He needs money to release albums, I am pretty sure most or all songs are already composed. YG give him money, like investment, sponsorship. I don't think they will anyhow interfere in music making process.
