Weeks earlier, Tablo announced that he will stop activities to be with Kang HyeJung.
He said, “I want to be there to help by Kang HyeJung’s side when she goes into labor. As compared to sharing of profits for album release or compromise on schedule, I want to get guaranteed paternity leave.”
His appearance on this week’s Music Core was a previous recording.

It has been reported that Epik High’s leader Tablo (real name: Lee Sun Woong) is pressing charges against a specific netizen “for defamation.” Seoul Mapo Police Station stated on the 28th, “Mr. Lee filed in his letter of complaint for requesting to press legal charges on a netizen who spread false rumors about him online. The rumors were suggesting that Mr. Lee’s academic backgrounds were all false.”
To protect the reporter’s identity, the policeman only revealed that Mr. Lee was a celebrity of Canadian nationality who had graduated from Stanford University.
According to the police, a netizen has repeatedly posted his claims online that he’s proved that Tablo was lying about his seemingly-flawless educational background all along. Netizens and fans alike were shocked to hear the story, as they were more than aware of Tablo’s Stanford history.
Apparently, that netizen couldn’t find the name Daniel Armand Lee under the list of Stanford graduates. He also predicted Tablo’s family will be ostracized from society, whereas his company will go bankrupt because of his unforgivable lie.

The cast of Korea's favorite TV show, MBC Infinity Challenge, made a visit to New York City not too long ago. The "challenge" was to spread the love of Korean food to New Yorkers by approaching and engaging pedestrians in a one to one conversation, which was somewhat successful. This special episode in the Big Apple was aired over the weekend - however, not everyone was satisfied.
The brother of Tablo, Dave (Lee Sun Min, 37) left a rather harsh criticism toward the Infinity Challenge crew and Korea as a whole on his CyWorld minihompy on the 21st. The post has now been closed, but its screenshot still remains circulating on the net, receiving an enormous amount of hatred from netizens.
NOTE: The translations are not in order as it is a compilation from numerous articles.
"I did have my worries when I heard that the Infinity Challenge members were coming to New York... and I totally felt like dying from the embarrassment while watching.
The internet is being all crazy now, saying how 'our Korean humor worked in New York too'. ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?
They were ignored like dogs on the streets from the New Yorkers for mumbling gibberish and not even being able to speak a word. They were also treated like retards at a pizza place by being thrown a random slice to eat.
Also, street casting?? Internet radio?? The one who calls himself the "Nation's MC" dances like a grasshopper inside a crappy warehouse with a green screen those 20 year old white boys call a 'studio'. Was it just me or did those dumb-looking white boys make him a complete fool? I wonder what those white boys were thinking (Actually never mind. Even if they said it out loud, the Koreans wouldn't have understood). They perhaps thought, 'WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE RETARDS DOING??'
I know you guys are being 'real' for entertainment, but keep the low-quality comedy in Korea. Please, ok? You guys make millions per year? Did you really have to go overseas and especially the capital of the world, New York City to be bunch of jackasses? MBC sure knows how to put themselves on the top.
To MBC who produced this piece of crap and those crowd of reporters who publicized this shameful event as if it's something we need to be proud of... Of course, this episode is just perfect for those Koreans who think this low-quality comedy is just so funny.
Since when was it so humiliating to be a part of our Korean race?
Get rid of the 'food' and why not tell those New Yorkers with your gibberish that Dokdo1 is our land? You guys act like you can attack Japan any day when you guys are the ones who copy their shit?"
1Dokdo (Liancourt Rocks) is a group of small islets located in the East Sea, currently in a national dispute regarding its sovereignty between Korea and Japan.
He not only insulted the members of the Infinity Challenge members, but also the students studying abroad in America. Although it may sound a bit irrelevant toward this issue, he displayed his annoyances and complaints toward their 'unacceptable behavior'.
"The students leak the questions online and get high scores on their TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) to study abroad, but all they do is fool around karaokes and clubs on 32nd Street. They copy the reports from their seniors and get caught by the professors. They can't speak a tiny bit of English, not even a simple phrase. No wonder New Yorkers put down Asians and especially the Koreans.
I wouldn't say anything if they didn't care about English at all. Korea is the number one country in the world who spends the most money on their English education. But all they do is spend a load of money to learn English in the "least developed countries" like the Philippines and even separate from their families for good."
Now, many of these references may be true, however, the way Tablo's brother expressed them may not have been the best way to go about it. As a family member of celebrity in a position of high attention, I believe he should've been more careful with his words - especially in public.
Do you think a typical apology letter would do? After coldly insulting the members of Infinity Challenge, the white men, the Korean international students and even the innocent Philippines? I say not.
Recently, Epik High's Tablo and actress Kang Hye Jung became a newly wedded couple. Although the ceremony was held privately, pictures of the couple's wedding were released online.
Through E! NEWS KOREA, the total cost of Kang Hye Jung's wedding dress, after dress and accessories were summed up and revealed to be a mind boggling amount.
First off, Kang Hye Jung's wedding dress was designed by famous American designer Elizabeth Filmore. The dress is worth approximately 15,000,000 won. Wow. But on top of that, the bride's big ribbon bow that was used instead of a tiara was worth 800,000 won. Also, the elegant after dress worn by the movie star was designed by famous New York designer Carolina Herrera and it cost 12,000,000 won. That's not all! The silk cap worn along with the beautiful after dress cost up to 60,000,000 to 70,000,000 won! Not only that but the separately purchased diamond brouch on her silk cap cost 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 won alone! Isn't that crazy?!
Wow, we sure know for a fact that this wasn't any regular celebrity wedding, but it was a quite expensive one at that.
A total cost of 167,800,000 won is approximately $142,015. Tablo is a big spender!
The couple's love story of how their love blossomed within a period of 10 months is planned to be broadcasted very soon so keep a look out for that!
Following their private wedding ceremony, Tablo and Kang Hye Jung were seen at the airport early this morning for their honeymoon in Europe.
Tablo and Kang Hye Jung arrived at Incheon Airport on the 27th at 8:00am. Although they seemed a bit tired, they finished their check-ins with a bright face. After exchanging their currency and having a sip of coffee with their families who visited, they departed for their flight to Europe at 8:55am. Before boarding, the couple also showed their love for each other as they groomed each other's hair.
The wedding ceremony, proceeded with a calm atmosphere throughout. It was said that Kang Hye Jung showed tears of joy during the ceremony.
And here's their touching wedding vows to each other:
Kang Hye Jung vowed to live as Tablo's wife as she said, "In the distant future, when someone asks me what has been my biggest achievement... I will answer as the times when I spent with you, sharing love and living by your side."
Tablo vowed as well, saying, "I think of you as my echo. When I first met you, I thought my mind and feelings which was spread out through the world had returned back to me as a person like you... Your wishes, hopes, dreams and happiness that you had throughout your life, I will give mine to you. I love you."
Tablo and Kang Hye Jung will return from their honeymoon early next month. The two are expecting a baby sometime in 2010. Their household will be in an apartment in Seoul, YongSanGoo. Congratulations to both and I wish them the best of luck!
Tablo and Kang Hye Jung will officially become husband and wife on the 26th privately at The Bailey House in Kangnam, Seoul. It won't be a wedding full of press and people that they have never talked to.
They wanted to keep their wedding low profile so their close family and friends are the only ones attending.
Tablo's company said, "We understand that many people are anticipating this wedding but we are going to keep this wedding small so that everyone can have a safe time."
Tablo and Kang Hye Jung said through their company, "We regret that we couldn't invite many people since it's such a small wedding."
LeeSsang will be the wedding singers since Mithra Jin can't perform alone with DJ Tukutz currently serving the nation and Tablo is the groom.
They will leave for Europe on the 27th, tomorrow for their sweet honeymoon.
