Popular Artist Fiercely Bashes People Who Try To “Steal” Tickets From Fans
Recently, a video clip regarding concert tickets went viral online.
In the clip, hip-hop group Epik High’s Tablo gave his honest opinion regarding people who ask him for tickets to his show.
타블로가 콘서트 3-4일전에 오랜만에 연락해서 ‘형 응원하게 표좀 주세요’ 하는 사람들이 무례하다고 느끼는 이유 ..
>> 공연은 나를 위한게 아니라 나의 팬들을 위한 거여서<< 💧
그래서 가족 표 제외하고 초대표도 거의 안 준다고 함 ㅜㅜ pic.twitter.com/T2O45hlUcp

“My concert is not for me to begin with. It’s for my audience. It’s for these people who take time out of their year, time out of their month, and pay to come see us…to wait in line and come in. It’s purely for them. It’s not for my enjoyment.
So, to contact me once a year, three days before the concert, and be so rude as to ask ‘Yo, can I go, I wanna cheer for you, bro’ or like ‘Oh, you can’t even get me a ticket?’ is crazy.”

The clip garnered much engagement and received praise from K-Pop fans for his mindset.
제발 아이돌들아 보고배워 연예인친구의 친구의 사돈에 팔촌에 스쳐지나간 인플의 인플의 친구의 동생까지 부르지 말고 누군지도 모르면서 백스테이지에서 사진그만찍어라 진짜 https://t.co/TYXYVjcU1M

Please, can idols learn from this? Stop inviting your celebrity friends and your uncles and aunts and influencers, and stop taking photos backstage with people you don’t even know.
타블로님 여전히 마인드가 멋지시다
아이돌들 매주 한팀씩 에픽하이 유튭나가서 정신교육좀받고왔으면 좋겠다 https://t.co/vxSynO0ML6— 모흐 (@moheu01) January 28, 2026
He has such a great mindset. I wish we could send idol groups onto his YouTube show every week so they can get some mental education from him.
thats how you lasts long in the industry https://t.co/EsQRPsX7je

Others even wondered if Tablo would ever think about creating an idol group.
진지하게 타블로님 남돌 만드실 생각 없나요 이런 마인드의 프로듀서가 사장 자리 앉아야지 서울대 방뚱땡 잡으려면 하버드 하루아빠가 필요함 https://t.co/OGdl71v2mr

Seriously, does Tablo have any plans to form a male idol group? A producer with this kind of mindset should be sitting in the CEO’s seat.
