Epik High to make comeback

Epik High

After a three-year hiatus, Epik High is set to make a comeback with the backing of a new agency, YG Entertainment.
The agency behind bands like 2NE1 and Big Bang, has announced that the trio boy band will come back hard this summer with a new album.

“They’ve finished working on the new album and are in talks over the date to launch it,” said YG’s CEO Yang Hyun-suk.
“The band had been through a lot in the last few years, but that’s made them more determined as musicians,” said Yang.

Leader of the trio, Tablo had spent the last year being picked on by a group of an anti-Tablo internet group which claimed that the singer had faked his academic credentials from Stanford University.
Early in July, two members of the internet group received a 10-month prison term for libel against the entertainer.
