Epik High consistently keeps fans entertained through their infectiously high-energy concerts, legendary music, or hilariously candid and unfiltered personalities. There’s a reason they’ve been in the industry for nearly 20 years and remain influential musical artists in the eyes of fans, critics, and industry peers.

Ahead of their concert, the group is set to release a new song, “Screen Time,” and to support the release, they’re hosting a fan sign and online video chat event.
However, after revealing these events, Tablo realized that his distributor failed to provide a global webpage for international fans to learn more about the events.

The Epik High leader quickly took action and addressed the situation on X, telling fans he gave his distributor an “earful for not providing a global page for the video chat event,” and promising an additional event would be held in a few days.
Tablo jokingly advised fans to find a “Korean-speaking friend” to fill them in on the details in the meantime.
I just gave my distributor an earful for not providing a global page for the video chat event. We will have an additional event in a few days. In the mean time, find a Korean speaking friend quick! https://t.co/fRorLpE5Xg

Epik High’s fandom, High Skool, showed their appreciation for Tablo’s advocacy on behalf of international fans, with some joking that his direct actions for his fandom more than qualified him as a “K-Pop CEO.”
Thanks for being considerate of international High Skool.
