Hip-hop group Epik High’s past hits are being rediscovered and celebrated across the music scene, transcending a mere chart resurgence.
Epik High’s (members Tablo, DJ Tukutz, Mithra Jin) track “Love Love Love (Feat. Yungjin of Casker)” has recently climbed back up the music charts, drawing public interest, and is gaining further attention through spontaneous participation and mentions by idol artists. The song, spread through challenges on social platforms like TikTok and Reels, is creating a cultural impact beyond its chart revival.
Fourth and fifth-generation idols, including IVE, Twice, ENHYPEN, Kiki, NCT WISH, and TWS, are especially highlighting “Love Love Love” again in various short-form content, on stages, and at fan meetings. god member Danny Ahn also mentioned the song at a fan meeting, bridging generational connections.
This attention has naturally led to the revisiting of Epik High’s other notable songs. Junior artists like CRAVITY and BOYNEXTDOOR are mentioning “Fan” in their content and performances, continuing the song’s message and symbolism. Additionally, CORTIS performed “Fly (Feat. Amin.J of Soulciety)” again at MBC’s “Gayo Daejejeon,” demonstrating its cross-generational appeal.
This phenomenon signifies more than a simple chart resurgence; it represents a new frontier for musical tradition and generational communication. Epik High’s music has been acclaimed for its profound lyrics and emotion since its release, and this resurgence and spread among artists prove its ongoing influence.
In 2026, Epik High plans to continue engaging with fans and junior artists through diverse activities and strengthening their presence.
