Tablo reveals he recorded nearly naked to avoid clothing noise

During a 2008 appearance on KBS 'Star Golden Bell', Epik High member Tablo revealed he once recorded while almost completely naked in the early morning to prevent the sound of his clothes from interfering with his vocals.

Epik High member Tablo has revealed an extreme choice he made to achieve perfect recording results. Appearing on the 2008 broadcast of KBS 'Star Golden Bell', the members of Epik High candidly shared their music production methods and private lives at the time.

"I hated the sound of clothes" Tablo's unconventional recording method

Tablo opened up about technical difficulties encountered during the rap recording process. He explained that because he moves his body a lot while rapping, he felt significant discomfort with the sound of his clothes rubbing together being captured in the recordings. "I hated the sound of clothes, so I recorded while being almost completely naked," Tablo said. He added that during the recording of his previous album, he took advantage of the early morning hours when no one else was around to record while being entirely naked. He explained that he made this choice because the sound of clothing was annoying and distracting while rapping. A humorous anecdote followed, noting that food delivery workers at the scene were reportedly terrified by this unconventional recording method.

"Living alone is lonely" Tablo and Mithra Jin's cohabitation

The unique living patterns among the Epik High members also became a topic of conversation. Tablo confessed that while his own home is on the 3rd floor, Mithra Jin's home is on the 10th floor, and because he finds living alone too lonely, he stays at Mithra Jin's house, even sleeping there.

Member Tukutz shared subtle details of daily life regarding his relationship with Mithra Jin. Tukutz said that when Mithra Jin eats something, he finds himself taking food from him without realizing it, and even when Mithra Jin is browsing the internet or reading a book, Tukutz takes things from him. "When I see Mithra Jin doing something, it feels like something I should do, so I just do it," Tukutz said, humorously describing his dependent behavior toward Mithra Jin.

Unexpected charms of Hwayobi, Lyn, and the birth of 'Meong-yubi'

The broadcast featured major figures of the music industry at the time, including Hwayobi, Lyn, Gummy, and Brian, who showcased their variety show talents. Hwayobi displayed her unique charm, earning the nickname 'Meong-yubi' after it was mentioned that she often stares blankly. Lyn also led the atmosphere of the set with an aegyo-filled appearance.

The cast members held a vote on how much their real selves differ from their televised personas. Tablo and Mithra Jin were identified as the individuals with the greatest difference between their real and broadcast images, leading to scenes that revealed the members' human sides.
