Tablo revealed that he advised Suga to ‘save a lot of money’ during the ‘TaJinYo’ incident.
On the 26th, a video titled “Are you eating well? ft. BTS RM, Suga” was uploaded to Epik High’s YouTube channel.
In the video, BTS members RM and Suga, who recently made a comeback, appeared as guests and shared various stories with Epik High.
Tablo first reminisced about his initial meeting with Suga.
Tablo recalled, “Suga came into the practice room in a school uniform. I don’t remember the exact details, but when you were trainees, Suga came in to practice rapping, and I was sitting there.”
Suga continued, “At that time, you seemed to be struggling, so I didn’t say much, but you told me to ‘save a lot of money, earn a lot,” he recalled.
Suga explained, “You were my idol back then, and with everything going on, it was hard to say anything or even express that I was a fan.”
Listening to this, Tablo explained, “I said that because I thought my life was over. Suga seemed to be just starting out, and I realized it’s a profession where you never know when something bad might happen,” referring to the ‘TaJinYo’ incident.
He added, “Ah, everything could end in an instant.”
Suga noted, “That was in 2010 or 2011,” recalling the year of the ‘TaJinYo’ incident.
Tablo joked to Suga, “Thanks to listening to me, Suga has earned a lot of money,” eliciting laughter from the members.
Suga responded, “After listening to you, I don’t spend much. I just save up,” continuing their exchange.
Tablo expressed amazement, “He’s earned so much that it’s questionable if someone should spend that much.”
The ‘TaJinYo’ incident, which occurred in 2010, refers to the ‘Truth Seeking with Tablo’ group on Naver Cafe.
The incident involved Tablo, a Stanford University graduate, being falsely accused of fabricating his academic background.
At the time, ‘TaJinYo’ operators and members demanded the truth from Tablo through social media, resorting to slander.
The ‘TaJinYo’ incident concluded with a trial in 2012.
