In the early hours of the morning here in the UK Tablo appeared on BBC World News and BBC News 24. He was being interviewed over video link by BBC journalist Rico Hizon about why K-pop is so popular at the moment, his influences based in controversy and how Haru drives his day.

and the second interview, which streamed live around 1.20 on BBC News 24 on youtube
High Skool will be quick to note the BBC quote Tablo as the ‘lead singer’ of Epik High, not really the first title we’d have given Tablo. It is however great to see Tablo, of all artists, giving K-pop some coverage across the world. He is of course probably the most eloquent speaker you can find in the genre, and answered the questions presented to him in a way many others wouldn’t have been able to.
Tablo is most certainly a great face, and voice, for Kpop when global curiosities are peaked, his answer about PSY speaks volumes!
Let us know what you think about Tablo’s thoughts on Korean Pop music being so popular.
