The Untold Truth Behind Tablo’s ‘Tajinyo’ Incident Revealed After 15 Years
Epik High’s Tablo Discusses Past Betrayals Involving Celebrities
In a recent video released on the official YouTube channel of Epik High, fans got a candid insight into Tablo’s past. This comes 15 years after the infamous ‘Tajinyo’ incident.
Tablo Opens Up
Tablo, along with DJ Tukutz, engaged in a heartfelt conversation about the pain of human relationships. DJ Tukutz, expressing sympathy for a fan’s hardship due to conflicts with friends, advised, “Don’t get hurt. It’s okay without those friends.” Tablo nodded in agreement, sharing his own experiences from his 20s of betrayal and fraud.
He further revealed, “Not many know this, but when we traced the participants in the ‘Tajinyo’ incident, some were people I considered friends. I didn’t press charges against them, though some were celebrities,” Tablo disclosed.
Unveiling the Truth
The ‘Tajinyo’ incident, a derivative term from “We Demand the Truth from Tablo”, challenged Tablo’s Stanford University credentials back in 2010. Despite Stanford confirming his graduation credentials, he faced relentless organized attacks. Tablo eventually filed charges against those involved, leading to prison sentences for nine key perpetrators.
DJ Tukutz joked, “Can you at least give me their initials?” To which Tablo responded, “You already know,” leaving the conversation hanging. DJ Tukutz added with a sigh, “If only it were just one or two.”
Lasting Impact
Reflecting on the matter, Tablo stated, “Seeing those people still loved by the public makes me furious. But speaking out would make me as low as them. You just need to cut them out of your life.” His calm demeanor emphasized how deeply the incident affected him.
The scandal remains a landmark case in shedding light on the severity of online violations of personal rights. It marks a significant chapter in the battle against cyberbullying in South Korea.
In sharing these experiences, Tablo not only highlights the pain of his past but also underscores the journey towards healing and resilience. As fans, we can take this learning forward and perhaps, avoid the pitfalls of betrayal and deceit in our relationships.
