2Tuck, Reason for Declaring Leaving Epik High? “I Hate Fake Hip Hop” (Las)
MBC ‘Radio Star’ (planned by Kang Young-sun / directed by Kim Myung-yeop, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee)to be aired on the afternoon of the 2nd will feature a ‘YouTube Star’ special, with Tablo, Im Woo-il, Tukutz, and Kim Won-hoon appearing.
In the past, Tukutz appeared on ‘Radio Star’ and created a legendary meme with his tiki-taka with MC Kim Gu-ra.At the time, when Kim Gu-ra had nothing better to do on stage, he would bicker with Tukutz, saying, “Wipe the car.” This later became a huge topic of conversation and helped Tukutz rise to the status of a ‘diamond in the entertainment industry.’
On this day, 2Tuck made everyone laugh by revealing that he decided on the English name ‘Justine’ given by his daughter as his YouTube activity name and that he tried to do content about washing real cars on his YouTube channel as the main character.He said that he tried car washing content on ‘Superstar Kim Jung-sik’ using his real name and said, “I wanted to cast Kim Gu-ra hyung.”
He then confesses his dark history of planning a content about washing Kim Gu-ra’s car, but failing to get him on board.When Tukutz reveals a sad anecdote, saying, “I contacted the director of Gu-ra’s agency directly, but was rejected,” Kim Gu-ra adds to the laughter by expressing regret, saying, “I wish I had called him directly.”
Next, Tablo reveals for the first time the reaction of the CEO of Epik High when Tukutz declared his withdrawal from the group early on, saying, “I don’t want to do this kind of fake hip-hop.” Tablo makes everyone burst into laughter with a sad and humorous episode where the CEO said, “Then Jeongsik(Tukutz)can just leave.” Tukutz, who heard this story for the first time, explains, “I was in my 20s back then.I don’t remember, but my feelings were sincere,” causing the set to burst into laughter.
In addition, Tablo reveals various episodes of Tukutz’s misdeeds that made him angry.After hearing this,
Kim Gu-ra bursts into laughter by saying, “I’m going to clean the car,” and raises expectations for another update of the best meme of all time in the 2025 version with Tukutz.
The ‘1 Mocking a Day’ friendship with Tablo also attracts attention.In response to the revelation that “Tukutz is into digital detox these days and repeats the same thing eight times a day,” Kim Gu-ra responds, “There’s a reason for everything.I understand why he has a seizure every three years,” and MC Jang Do-yeon also acknowledges Tukutz’s activities, saying, “He’s the main character today.”
On this day, 2Tuck burns down the studio with a stage for “Jeongsikism” that pays homage to Rain’s “Rainism.” The MCs applaud the perfect performance, even preparing canes and stage costumes, and stimulate laughter by saying, “Is this hip-hop~?”
From the instinct to create memes to YouTube sensibilities and stage presence, 2Tuck’s activities can be seen on ‘Radio Star’ that airs today(the 2nd)at 10:30 PM on Wednesday.
