As Korean pop culture continues to make waves around the world, Epik High joins an elite group of local icons who have been featured on the international show. Following in the footsteps of footballer Park Ji-Sung, singer Rain, and actor Lee Byung-Hun, Epik High has been tapped to be the first Korean band ever to appear on CNN Talk Asia.

According to Epik High’s frontman, Tablo - “I found it very cool that CNN had a keen interest in the depth and diversity of the Korean music scene -- it’s a major honor for us to represent Korean hip-hop on such a huge worldwide stage.”

The recent recipient of the MIAK Golden Disk Award for Best Korean Hip-Hop/Rap Artist, Epik High emerged as one of Korea’s biggest breakthrough acts of 2009 as they became the first K-Pop act to sell-out a USA concert tour (ι Map the Soul), debut an album in the top 5 of the iTunes USA Electronic chart (Remixing the Human Soul), and land two albums simultaneously in the top 100 of the iTunes USA Hip-Hop/Rap chart ([e]nergy/[e]motion).
