Tablo Responds with Humorous Skepticism to Rumors of 'Jensen Huang Shout-out'

Epik High's Tablo has shared a bittersweet but honest reaction to rumors that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang gave a "shout-out" to his group, drawing laughter from listeners.

On his podcast released on June 23, Tablo discussed recent news involving Jensen Huang before introducing 10 of Epik High's representative songs and the stories behind them.

Previously, on June 5, Jensen Huang visited a barbecue restaurant near Hongik University in Mapo-gu, Seoul, with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin. After his meal, he left a commemorative autograph on the table where he sat. The message read, "JENSEN WAS HERE" and "LOVE LOVE LOVE" in English.

Following this, some domestic media outlets speculated that the message might have been a shout-out to Epik High.

Regarding this, Tablo reacted with a sheepish smile, saying, "I saw the Korean news reports suggesting that Jensen Huang might have been shouting out Epik High. To be honest, it's more likely that's not the case. He might have just written 'Love' three times."

However, he added with a laugh, "'Love Love Love' is actually the title of an Epik High song. I also heard that when Jensen Huang visited a Korean tech company, Epik High's 'High Technology' was playing. So, I think it might not be a complete coincidence. Personally, I want to believe he was referring to our song, but realistically, it's unlikely."

Jensen Huang has previously made headlines for expressing a deep interest in K-pop. During a recording for the tvN show 'You Quiz on the Block,' he revealed that he enjoys listening to K-pop and is a fan of Mamamoo's Hwasa. At the time, he praised Hwasa, calling her a "great singer and an excellent dancer," showing his fandom.
