'''Epik High''' ([[Hangul]]: 에픽하이) is a South Korean [[alternative hip hop]] group from [[Seoul]], composed of [[Tablo]], [[Mithra Jin]], and [[DJ Tukutz]]. They are known for having combined genres and different styles of hip hop throughout their career, which has seen the release of eleven studio albums since their debut in 2003, as well as for their coverage of diverse lyrical themes.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/23111/1/how-tablo-of-epik-high-pushes-korean-hip-hop-forward|title=How Tablo of Epik High pushes Korean hip hop forward|last=Glasby|first=Taylor|date=2015-01-09|website=Dazed|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> The group went on hiatus between 2010–2012 whilst two of the members served [[Conscription in South Korea|mandatory military service]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=003&aid=0004011878|title=에픽하이 DJ투컷, 군대갔다 왔습니다|website=Newsis|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> Upon their return, [[YG Entertainment]] signed Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz on July 25, 2012, with Tablo having already released a solo album under the label.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://view.koreaherald.com/kh/view.php?ud=20121010000692&cpv=0|title=Epik High soars to the top of the charts|date=2012-10-10|publisher=The Korean Herald|accessdate=2012-10-10}}</ref> They have received international acclaim, winning several music awards in Korea and becoming the first Korean act<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2016/04/23/epik-high-k-pop-rap-group-crashing-coachella/83192716/|title=Epik High is the K-pop rap group crashing Coachella|last=Bui|first=Hoai-Tran|date=2016-04-23|publisher=USA Today|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> to play at [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival|Coachella]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/epik-high-makes-history-first-korean-musical-act-perform-coachella-n556696|title=Epik High Is Bringing South Korean Rap to Coachella|last=Bai|first=Stephanie|date=2015-04-16|website=NBC News|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref>

==History==

=== 2001–2004: Career beginnings, debut album ''Map of the Human Soul'', and ''High Society'' ===
Epik High formed in 2001<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ygfamily.com/artist/About.asp?LANGDIV=E&ATYPE=2&ARTIDX=50|title=Epik High About|website=YG Entertainment|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> upon frontman Tablo's return to South Korea after being educated in [[Vancouver]] and [[Stanford University|Stanford]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=http://alumni.stanford.edu/get/page/magazine/article/?article_id=40913|title=The Persecution of Daniel Lee|last=Davis|first=Joshua|date=2011|website=Stanford Magazine|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> With the addition of Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz, the group made their beginnings in the underground hip hop scene in Seoul, performing with other Korean hip hop groups such as CB Mass and as part of the "Movement Crew", one of the largest hip hop crews of the time in South Korea. As the genre was unpopular among mainstream audiences, the group was relatively unknown early on in their career, with critics seeing little market for "lyrically complex music" that did not match the K-pop model of the time.<ref name=":2" /> Their first performance was to a small audience at the amusement park [[Everland]] in 2002.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/culture/2014/11/386_167386.html|title=Epik High ponders secrets of success|last=Kim|first=Ji-soo|date=2014-11-02|website=The Korea Times|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> They released their debut album, ''[[Map of the Human Soul]]'', under [[Woollim Entertainment]] in 2003, and began to gain success with the release of their second album, ''[[High Society (Epik High album)|High Society]]'' (2004).

=== 2005: Mainstream success with ''Swan Songs'' ===
''[[Swan Songs (Epik High album)|Swan Songs]]'' was intended to be Epik High's final album, following the poor performance of their previous two releases; however, it became a mainstream hit and made them one of the most popular hip hop groups in Korea.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=http://noisey.vice.com/blog/the-noisey-guide-to-epik-high|title=The Noisey Guide to Korean Rap Pioneers Epik High|last=Lee|first=Madeleine|date=2015-05-22|website=Noisey|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> The album was a chart success with the title track, "Fly", reaching number one on domestic charts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=111&aid=0000021553|title=[네티즌 인기가요] 에픽하이, 'Fly'로 온라인 정상 날개짓|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> "Fly" also featured on the soundtracks for ''[[FIFA 07]]'' and [[Pump It Up (video game)|''Pump It Up'']].<ref name=":3" /> Another of the album tracks, "Paris" featuring [[Loveholics]]' Jisun, was also a hit in Japan and Korea.<ref name=":3" /> The album was repackaged the following year as ''[[Black Swan Songs]]'', which included remixes of several tracks.

===2006–2007: ''Remapping the Human Soul''===
Originally set for release in October 2006, Epik High's fourth album ''[[Remapping the Human Soul]]'' was released on January 23, 2007.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://magazine.hiphopplaya.com/magazine/article/view.html?num=2383&category=&category2=&mode=&sort=&page=1|title=Tablo (of Epik High) 와의 인터뷰|date=2007-02-28|website=Hiphopplaya|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref> The two upbeat lead singles, "Fan" and "Love Love Love", were hits, while the rest of the album was darker and tackled diverse themes including sexual crime, war, religion, and education. The album was reportedly censored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as a result of its lyrical and thematic content.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://freemuse.org/archives/874|title=South Korea: Censors attempted to silence hip hop group|date=2013-03-18|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-07-07|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807122714/http://freemuse.org/archives/874|archive-date=2016-08-07}}</ref> Despite this, it was a commercial success in both Korea and Japan. It went on to sell 120,301 copies during the year, making it the third best-selling album of 2007 in South Korea.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.miak.or.kr/stat/kpop_2007_2.htm |accessdate=2008-05-04 |title=January - Total sales level |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080508152311/http://www.miak.or.kr/stat/kpop_2007_2.htm |language=ko |archive-date=2008-05-08 |url-status=dead }}</ref> During this time, the group spoke of their "no genre, just music" philosophy, expressing frustration with "narrow", "out-dated and isolated" perceptions of the hip hop genre.<ref name=":1" />

=== 2008: ''Pieces, Part One'' and ''Lovescream''===
Over 50,000 copies of their fifth studio album entitled ''[[Pieces, Part One]]'' were pre-ordered before its release in April 2008. The album's release was followed by music videos for the singles "One", "Breakdown", and "Umbrella". After the album's success, Epik High released the EP ''[[Lovescream]]'' to acclaim in October, with the EP's title track "1 Minute 1 Second" topping online music charts.

=== 2009: ''Map the Soul'' and ''[e]''===
In early 2009, Epik High parted ways with Woollim Entertainment and founded Map The Soul, an independent record label that consisted of Epik High, [[:ko:MYK|MYK]], [[:ko:플래닛 쉬버|Planet Shiver]] and [[Dok2]]. They released their seventh work, a "book album" entitled ''[[Map the Soul|魂: Map the Soul]],'' on March 27 and distributed it exclusively on Epik High's website. Tablo stated that ''魂: Map the Soul'' is not the group's official sixth album, but a special project.

Music videos for the single "Map the Soul" were released on May 19, with worldwide and Korean versions. To commemorate their first release under the independent label, Epik High toured in Japan and performed at Melon Ax in Seoul with [[Kero One]] and MYK. That month they also performed in various cities in the US ([[New York City]], [[Los Angeles]], [[San Francisco]] and [[Seattle]]) along with [[Dumbfoundead]], Kero One, MYK and [[Far East Movement]].

On July 22, Epik High and Map the Soul signed electronic group Planet Shiver and released the remix album ''[[:ko:Remixing the Human Soul|Remixing The Human Soul]]''.

Epik High's sixth album, [[E (Epik High album)|''[e]'']], was released on September 16 with the title single "Wannabe (따라해)" featuring Mellow, an electronic pop track critiquing K-pop trends. The studio album contained 30 tracks in a 2-CD format. Its release was followed by a South Korean tour, beginning on September 19.

===2010–2012: ''Epilogue'', military service and hiatus===
On October 15, 2009, DJ Tukutz enlisted for two years in [[Conscription in South Korea|mandatory military service]], two days after his marriage.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2015/08/144_53620.html |title=DJ Tukutz Enters Military |date=2009-10-15 |access-date=2016-07-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160817104729/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2015/08/144_53620.html |archive-date=2016-08-17 }}</ref> He was discharged in August 2011.<ref name=":4">{{cite news|url=http://global.mnet.com/news/newsdetail.m?searchNewsVO.news_id=201205141449_6653|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708145954/http://global.mnet.com/news/newsdetail.m?searchNewsVO.news_id=201205141449_6653|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 July 2012|title=Epik High’s Mithra Jin Released from Army|last=Oh|first=MiJung|date=14 May 2012|newspaper=Mnet News|accessdate=16 May 2012}}</ref>

Infinite's [[Hoya (singer)|Hoya]] and [[Jang Dongwoo|Dongwoo]] also served as backup dancers during promotions of the single on various music shows.

Shortly after the album's release, Mithra Jin also entered into mandatory military service and served two years between August 3, 2010 – May 14, 2012.<ref name=":4" /> He entered the 102 reserve in [[Chuncheon]] and served as an infantry rifle soldier, a member of the military band, and a GOP soldier before settling at the Defense Media Agency (DEMA).<ref name=":4" />

During the two-year hiatus that followed, Tablo (who is a Canadian citizen and therefore was not required to carry out military service) signed a four-year contract with [[YG Entertainment]] and released a solo album titled ''Fever's End'' on November 1, 2011.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=http://asiapacificarts.usc.edu/w_apa/showarticle.aspx?articleID=17430&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1|title=Epik High's Tablo Joins YG Family|last=Nguyen|first=Mai|date=2011-09-28|website=Asia Pacific Arts|publisher=University of Southern California|access-date=2016-07-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829123405/http://asiapacificarts.usc.edu/w_apa/showarticle.aspx?articleID=17430&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1|archive-date=2017-08-29|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, he indicated that Epik High had not disbanded.<ref name=":5" />
