@Jets262 I guess you don't really know much about Korean politics.. not even idols but also celebrities are used to control the mass population and to divert their attention from politics. Seotaiji&LJA divorce issue first came up when LMB's BBK issue came up. KHD's issue was on the rage when Korea had the Seoul mayor elections + FTA issue going on. Mere coincidence? Korean gov't controls the media (they just passed the law to actually validate it), and celebrities can't escape from the media

@tokee1234567 I don't want to come off as rude, I'm just saying that there's really no proof that the government directly uses idol groups to tune away from politics... You said that the "gov't uses idol scandals" which really does insinuate that you believe the government controls them, at least some degree. All in all, If their govt really IS trying to "hide the truth" by banning Epik High's songs, they're doing a terrible job at it.

@Jets262 I did not say they were controlled by the government. They are used by the gov't as a way to tune ppl away from politics. Epik high's songs are banned often but that doesn't make them unpopular. Can you at least read what I said and stop coming up with stuff I did not talk about or insinuate?

For some reason people have a huge misconception that these guys are like unknown or something... As a long time fan, I have to say that these guys are incredibly famous in Korea and have been for years. Since 2005 they've been winning the biggest awards at the biggest Korean music awards shows and they have super high album sales. They are like as popular as people like Lil Wayne are in the US (but a lotttt better too.)

They are incredibly famous in Korea...

That's completely untrue... Idol groups are in no way controlled by the government, do you have a shred of evidence? Plus, the songs made by the IDOL GROUPS are the ones that keep on getting banned by MOGEF the most... Epik High's albums are always on the shelves in stores, even if they did get mass banned (which they don't,) anyone could just pick up the album from a nearby store. They've been at the forefront of the ent. scene many times, Tablo even hosted his own radio show...

@JMukhi idol groups are actually maintained by the government to be ironic.... the gov't uses idol scandals whenever they do something controversial and want ppl to tune out. the idols are used to make youth be distracted from politics in Korea. Epik high's songs are probably one of the most banned in Korea.... because they speak the truth and the gov't intends to block this

Love scream best album by far :]

Seriously why arent these guys more famous ? They can crush all the idol groups with one song ......

@maliemay Nice, thanks for pointing that out. Present's is a little more sped up.
I was wondering what the number 1825 represented, and I realized that 365 multiplied by 5 is 1825. So, something like one paper crane per day for five years? It seems like they also represent the number of years (or days) they've been active, since they began in 2003. Awesome song, btw.

It must be amazing to find two other people who like the same music as yourself and have the same vision.
I wish I was in a group where we could inspire each other and create something as wonderful as this~~
