Tablo Shares Eerie Encounters: "A Woman's Voice Remains on Our Album"

Epik High member Tablo has shared a series of mysterious personal anecdotes while discussing the ghost stories that circulate within the K-pop industry.

In an English-language podcast released on July 7, Tablo opened up about his experiences, stating, "All I can tell you is my own experience. I have seen what I believe to be ghosts multiple times."

Recalling the time before Epik High's debut, he said, "I was practicing with the members in a small studio apartment. The moment I looked at one of the members, I briefly saw another person behind them. I still don't know if I actually saw a ghost, or if it was because I was too tired or in poor health."

He then introduced an inexplicable incident that occurred during his music production process. "When we were recording Epik High's second album, I heard a woman's voice layered over mine while listening to the playback. The engineer also confirmed they heard it, but we couldn't isolate that sound. In the end, that voice remains on the album," he revealed.

He added, "A similar thing happened when I was making the 'Pump' mixtape. This time, I heard a man's voice. It wasn't audible when listening to the vocals or the instrumental track separately, but when played together, the voice could be heard. The engineer couldn't find the cause, so we just kept it in."

While discussing these experiences, Tablo also mentioned an anecdote involving BTS member Jungkook. He noted that Jungkook had previously revealed that a mysterious voice, which he did not record, was captured on the recording file while he was working on the song 'Begin' for the 'WINGS' album. "That is why I believe Jungkook's story. I have had very similar experiences myself," Tablo said.

Recalling the recording sessions for Epik High's fourth studio album, he said, "I was working alone in the recording booth with the lights off when I felt someone tap my shirt from behind. I turned around, but there was no one there. I started recording again, and the same thing happened. The air conditioner was off, and there was no wind. All the members were in the control room outside, so it wasn't a situation where someone could have been playing a prank."

He added, "I have experienced sleep paralysis hundreds of times. The scariest experience was when I was living with Mithra and Tukutz. My body wouldn't move, and I saw both of them staring directly at me. When I was finally able to move, I looked over and they were just sleeping. It wasn't real, but at that moment, it was truly terrifying."

However, Tablo emphasized several times regarding these experiences, "I am not concluding that these were ghosts," adding that "they could have been hallucinations or illusions." He also noted that many of the ghost stories circulating in the K-pop industry are "urban legends that have not been verified."
