The group Epik High shared memories with Kim Sunggyu and Nam Woohyun of the group INFINITE.

On the 5th, Epik High (Tablo, Mithra, Tukutz) uploaded a video titled ‘Epik High Asks Why They Dissed INFINITE ft. Knitting’ through their official YouTube channel.

In the video, INFINITE‘s Kim Sunggyu and Nam Woohyun appeared with their lively chemistry and heated up the atmosphere. Epik High and INFINITE filled the audio with unpredictable topics such as episodes from their trainee days, behind-the-scenes stories of making zero won in music revenue, members who don’t get along well, and their closest celebrities.

In particular, the honest stories of the two teams caught the eye. Tablo said, “I was the MC for INFINITE‘s debut showcase. The ‘Tajinyo’ incident broke out seriously right before the showcase started, of all things. He said, “I thought that if I were the MC, Infinite would be hurt from the start. But I ended up getting off the MC job before I could even say anything. It seemed like my agency acknowledged the situation and was avoiding it.”

Nam Woohyun then asked if the lyrics of Epik High’s ‘BORN HATER’ were intended to diss Infinite, and Tablo answered, “At the time, I put it in to diss my agency‘s CEO. I didn’t mean to diss Infinite,” revealing his honest feelings.

Epik High released the ‘PUMP COLLECTOR’S EDITION‘ in October of last year, and created a lot of buzz with the title song ’Michelin CYPHER‘. Recently, he has been consistently uploading epic content through his official YouTube channel and communicating with his fans in various ways.
