Epik High's TUKUTZ becomes leader for the first time in 23 years... Self-centered moves with new song 'EPIKISM'
Epik High's TUKUTZ has been appointed as the team's leader for the first time in 23 years following a competition held on the 'Epikase' YouTube channel.
TUKUTZ of the group Epik High has stepped into the position of team leader for the first time in 23 years since their debut. According to media reports, Epik High will release the new song 'EPIKISM' through various online music sites at 6 PM on September 17. This new song is drawing attention from fans as it is the first song presented since TUKUTZ took office as the new leader. Since their debut in October 2003, TABLO has consistently served as the leader, but the change in leadership was decided through the 'Epikase Song Festival' held on the official YouTube channel 'Epikase'.
The song festival was conducted in a manner that selects a temporary leader for 6 months by synthesizing five categories: expert judging, national voting, comprehensive music chart performance, live clip views, and audio performance. As a result of the competition, TUKUTZ took first place with a total score of 82 points, ranking first in expert judging, national voting, and live clip views. TABLO ranked second with 78 points, and MITHRA JIN recorded third place with 30 points. With this, TUKUTZ will serve as the temporary leader for 6 months, experiencing a radical change such as gaining the authority to be called 'Hyung' (older brother) by TABLO, who is younger than him.
Having become the leader, TUKUTZ has been leading the group's activities under his own direction immediately after taking office. In particular, this new song 'EPIKISM' is the result of rearranging 'TUKUTZISM', the solo song TUKUTZ presented during the song festival, into a group song in which all members participate. In this process, TUKUTZ unilaterally notified TABLO and MITHRA JIN of the project. In response, TABLO and MITHRA JIN showed bewildered reactions, saying, "You should have told us in advance," and "Shouldn't you give us time to write lyrics?", which drew laughter.
TUKUTZ, who became the leader after 23 years since debut, is providing unique fun by leading the group as he pleases from his very first move. Fans are paying attention to what kind of reaction this new song, born under TUKUTZ's leadership, will draw. During the short 6-month term, TUKUTZ's unique leadership and Epik High's new musical attempts are expected to unfold in earnest through this new song.
