Fans have reacted positively towards the line up on YGE’s official Facebook page, with some saying that it couldn’t be more perfect and others asking if Tablo’s daughter Haru will be featuring in one of the songs. We’ll just have to wait and see.
CEO of YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun Suk, held a press conference on the 13th to discuss EPIK HIGH’s comeback album. He explained that EPIK HIGH were meant to come back this week, but due to wanting the music video to be “more perfect”, the members have delayed their album release to the 21st.
Yang Hyun Suk also added: “EPIK HIGH had faced a lot of difficulties before they joined YG, so I have a special affection for this team. I’m very happy that they are now seeing favorable responses”.
Tablo recently posted the album cover of the new comeback album on Twitter. Look at the interesting album cover below:
