(Epik High Lovely Runner Live will begin shortly)
Hello, everyone
For the past year
I have been eagerly and desperately waiting for this day
At the same time
I am the most regretful that today has arrived
I will give my all today
I am DJ Tukutz of Epik High
Hello, everyone
2024 is coming to an end
If there were regrets
or shortcomings
let's shake them off here
and move forward to 2025
I am the proud
cute
lovely
and handsome youngest member of Epik High, Mithra
We are truly honored
that such amazing people
chose to be with us tonight
Merry Early Christmas
If it's possible today
if the universe permits
I want to be the best gift for you this year
I am Tablo of Epik High
I am so excited
Once again, welcome to the 2024 Epik High concert
Welcome
Can I take a moment to drink some water?
Not yet
Later
2024 is almost over
As 2024 goes behind us and 2025 approaches
let me hear a cheer from those who are happy about it!
Now, let me hear it from those who are sad to say goodbye to 2024!
Oh, it's about half and half?
Quite an unexpected reaction
Let me hear a cheer from those who loved 2023!
All of a sudden?
The 2002 World Cup
was really fun
Hey Mithra, for the past year
Yes
besides attending the Busan International Film Festival
Yes
what was the most memorable moment for you?
If I had to exclude that
I think the most memorable moment would be
the end of the year Epik High concert
Right now, at this moment?
Yes
Right now
That's such a wise answer
What about you, DJ Tukutz?
I was about to say that, but you said it first
Three months ago
I was doing a 130KG squat at the gym
I'm not saying I actually lifted 130kg
because I almost got crushed to death
Okay
But luckily, I survived
Oh, yeah
I had safety measures in place
It would’ve been a bit much to die like that
Right
Dying under a barbell at the gym
that’s not ideal
That's when I realized
I was born again; I'm living my second life now
I remember that moment vividly now
You said you almost died and came back to life?
Yeah, kind of a resurrection
Are you
Yes
Like
Epik High?
That’s right
Whether you miss 2024
or are tired of it
clearly, during this year
you must have accumulated stress
carrying an immense weight of
worries and concerns
Our mission is simple
We'll help you smash stress, frustration
and fears to pieces
kicking off 2025 with hip-hop energy
Mithra’s rapid-fire rap
totally hip-hop
Man
your fast rap felt like
Santa's sleigh
accelerating
gliding swiftly over the snow
So fresh
so exciting
Thank you, man
No praise for me?
I wasn’t ready
Oh really?
What, do I look like I've prepared?
Anyway, Tukutz
How have you been in the background?
I do my best
I was actually busy clapping and all
I see, I see
I'm setting up a stage
for you right now, right?
Now, I'm
I know
Since DJ Tukutz has been behind us until now
While we're sweating up front doing this
some of you here for your first Epik High concert
might think
"Isn't this unfair?"
"I heard they split everything equally"
You could feel that way, right?
Yeah, I agree
Or
Some of you might think
that he's lucky
You might think that he got a free ride
or he has good connections
You guys might think so
But you should know that Tukutz does a lot of things in the background
out of sight
It's because I'm busy out of sight
Yes, hiding is the problem
Tukutz and I are working hard on producing together
Epik High wouldn't exist
without Tukutz in music
Just like this
He's always a reliable friend
even when he's behind me
So, don't worry about that
and don't misunderstand about him
I'd appreciate it if you think
that he's behind us like a backbone/support
It seems like you're saying this for me
The truth of these words is that Tablo is a wonderful person
He's a really wonderful person
Why can't you accept the compliment?
I'm just complimenting you
Look
Because we barely compliment each other
we can't even handle it
They're assuming that
I'll suddenly turn on them
I'm being genuine
Thank you
The neighborhood is going crazy these days
I do know well
These days, other colleagues come up to me and ask
"How can I succeed like DJ Tukutz?"
It's no joke
Well, I went to New York
My friends came from New York
Juniors
and brothers
Younger ones with a big age difference
They love New York, right?
They came to me and said, "Yo what's up"
Like this
I didn't expect that
Oh, really?
I was so surprised to see that they knew who you were
Hold on, wait
That they knew who I was?
Global fame
As we run towards 2025
what many people here are hoping for in the new year
is to succeed in 2025
There are people who want to make more money,
there are people who want to get promoted,
and there are people who want to get into the school they want
There are people who want to succeed in love
and there are people who want to break up
Anyway, I think there are people who want to succeed in various ways
Tukutz is the icon of success, right?
Mr. Success Kim
Success Kim
Our Success Kim
Our SK
Our Success Kim
Please tell them
to our audience here, younger peers
about your success story
In the first and second episodes
there was a bit of humor mixed in
when I talked about my success
but I'm going to talk about success seriously today
Then, let's move on
Just kidding, keep going
You can talk about something serious
I'll keep it short
It's fine, go ahead and tell us more
It's my opinion, everyone
People say that life is like a movie
Why are you laughing?
But what if you only make that one movie
and it flops?
That shouldn’t happen, right?
That’s an issue
Live your life like a seasonal drama
It doesn’t matter if the first season fail
you can start the second season from the fresh start
But if it flops, won't it get canceled?
Everything is fine
You all are in charge of the lineup
Season 3 is coming soon
Woah, that’s inspirational
Let’s give him a round of applause
Not you, we’ll do it
Siwon Jung
To be honest
I thought it sounded a bit cliche
Success Kim
It sounded cliche but you said
in the last bit
that the director is
What was it? At the last part?
You’re the director of your own life
That part got me
thinking it’s inspirational
That’s what I thought
I was curious
If that phrase really came out from Tukutz’s head
or did he quote from someone famous
Honestly
Or Chat GPT?
No
I didn’t make a reference from anybody else
but I combined different quotes from here and there
When you guys head back home later
and if you have Chat GPT
please type the exact phrase he said and look it up
Then it will say
Chat GPT came up with that quote
But it was cool, super cool
Thank you
It was dope
When we, the three individuals, met for the first time
we all grew up from different backgrounds
and lived in very different environments
and even from different countries
and in different cities, but we came together in one group
No matter where you start your journey
I think the trajectory is more important
You guys, there’s no cool
or perfect recipe in life
Hello
This is 10cm
Hello, nice to meet you all
It’s really nice to see you
because we’re seeing each other for the first time
Right?
I think my mind would’ve been at peace
if I came here not knowing about this
It would’ve been nicer
I just heard that the first guest was PSY
and the second guest was Jay Park
So yeah
I've only done my first song
And I was genuinely moved ad touched by
your attitude, standing there
Yeah
even though I was just a guest
And I was moved how you guys were raising your hands too
I should’ve gotten one too
Anyways
It's a mix of emotions
So, I thought maybe the guests represent the identity of Epik High
PSY represents
the energy of Epik High
Jay Park represents
sexiness
And Epik High has a unique vibe, right?
So I thought I fell into that category, uniqueness
like spicy and salty and I’m the mild one
And I also wanted to hear your voices as well
I also do lots of performances and concerts
but I weirdly never collaborated with Epik High
In festivals, we’re usually the last ones to perform
I do lots of sentimental ones
while EPIK High is on the other side
so I never got to see you before
and I was super curious to see you guys
but you won my heart just within my first performance
so I appreciate your enthusiasm
I really cherish this Handball stadium and have lots of memories here
so it’s nice to be here
May I continue with my personal story?
I’ve been working as a singer for a long time
and counting the days before I debuted as 10cm
I think my years of experience is probably similar to their's
I’ve performed in big stages many times
won awards
and won the first place in the Korean Hot 100 list
The reason I still can't see myself as a successful artist is because
I haven't had the chance to feature on an Epik High track
I haven't even been a guest at their concert, not once until now
A long time ago, I almost featured on Tablo’s album
We were in touch, but it just fizzled out
I don’t have much, except for one regretful memory
So, when I was asked to be a guest this time
even though my MBTI isn't "N"
I couldn't help but start fantasizing
Oh
could this be
a chance for me?
Is this my challenge on stage?
I hope the members of Epik High know this
I have a very high success rate with features, everyone
Especially when I collaborate with hip-hop
There's too many work
Do I have to go over each one myself?
The ones I remember from the past...
There are so many, so I'll keep it short
There's this, too
and if I talk about recent ones
Ah, I guess you're even counting this young one's work
It's just part of my recent career
you don't have to mind it
So
if they don't seem to be aware, please let them know
I need to do well today
so I hope you
Whenever I come to someone else's concert
I feel like I have to adjust everything to you guys
and make you happy
But now, I got some personal intentions
So I need your help
They are probably preparing in the waiting room now
and if your voices are too loud
I've been there earlier, and I could hear your voices
Yes, thank you
I'm not sure if this will be enough
No, no
don't put too much effort into me, everyone
You all came to enjoy Epik High
but could you do me just one favor
in the next song?
I'm 10cm
In the next song, you'll see a lot of numbers
so what I want is for you all to
shout "10" really loudly
when I count
from 1 to 10
Can you do that?
Next song
Scream, High School!
Thank you
I'll sing one more song
I love the light stick so much
Could you hold it up for me?
Towards me, please
This is my first time meeting you all, so I’m curious
are there a lot of couples here?
I guess it’s okay to leave them out then
Anyone here not in a relationship?
I mean, those who came here by themselves
So, there are more couples who came here just by themselves?
Shall we sing a short song together?
Thank you
Am I being too obvious with my intentions?
Should I sing a variety of songs before I go?
Feels like I'm suddenly on an audition program
You have to press the button for me
Thank you
I’ll be singing my last song soon
The fact that you're even feeling sad and not wanting me to leave
makes you truly perfect as an audience
When I ask you to scream, will you?
You'll scream louder than you have so far, right?
It's actually hard for me to objectively judge
what level of artist I am right now
But whether I feature for Epik High
or have them feature in my album
I’m almost there, close to achieving my dream
Please continue to support me until the end
Is this the final show?
The performance quality will surely be better than the previous two days
Keep your energy up
and enjoy the whole experience, everyone
Got it?
I’m 10cm
and I’ll end with 'Phonecert'
Thank you
First, let’s give a big round of applause to 10cm for taking the time out of their busy year-end schedule for our fans
I heard something about a feature being discussed
but did he share the behind-the-scenes story?
No behind-the-scenes stories, then?
For the fans of both Epik High and 10cm
please make sure this video gets forwarded to 10cm
Actually, when I made the "Fever's End" album, there was one more track
There were two more tracks, actually
One of the tracks had a 10cm feature
But when I asked for a feature back then
It was before 10cm became popular for the song 'Americano'
Those who know me will probably know that
I usually check out music from up-and-coming artists right away
His voice was so captivating that I wanted him to feature
so I sent the song
The next day, he appeared on "Infinite Challenge" and became a huge hit
So, he became a famous star
Considering the purpose of my album, 'Fever's End'
such that if someone who's currently in the spotlight featured
they might get criticized too by people
So, I asked respected artists like Lee Sora and Naul to feature
who are already well-established and that's how the album came together
As 10cm became popular
but I feared they’d face backlash because of me, so it fell through
Even after all this time
it’s still frequently mentioned
The featuring issue
This is all that I want to say
If 10cm features on an Epik High track
it would definitely be an honor for us
Isn't that basically a guarantee?
Right
We can change our band name to 10pik High
What do you think?
Epik cm
Or 10 times 4 is "40cm"
Sounds good
Isn't it good?
If you want
as I asked them if I could feature in one of their songs
How about the reverse, with Tablo featuring instead?
You can choose between the two
If 10cm specifically wants
Tablo featured in a track
I’d think they’d prefer Tablo over Epik High
If they want Epik High, we will make a band "40cm"
Anyway, I really appreciate it
Epik High is preparing 2025 to be amazing
To show you
I will host a CEO
An innovator, the most famous entrepreneur
In Forbes
Who was mentioned at 40 over 40
Introducing, DJ Tukutz!
I'm sorry, sorry
When I reveal something amazing like this

He named himself Justin

Something funny will be posted

I'm sure you can't believe your own eyes
Thinking like "Is it the Epik High I know?"

When you see something funny and goofy on the feed
Please remember, I beg you

Hey, don't do it
Hey
What is it?
Hey, friend
Don't do that, young man
MC Square... Why are you suddenly here?
It's absurd, what is this?
Anyways, it's keep going to be uploaded such weird things
So, don't get flustered
And so that you can remember
It's okay, It feels like going out for a walk
It'll feel like you're having an affair
The artist I know, Epik High, is still alive
My favorite troubadour
My favorite creator
My favorite singer-songwriter

Are you ready? Is our band ready?
Our Epik High members
Our genius
Genius, are you guys ready?
Yes, yes
Mithra, did you warm up your voice?
Please do it once
Wow, you guys are having fun
You’re having so much fun, full of energy, and energetic
But, have a seat for a second
Second floor, too
Oh, the 2nd floor is already sitting down
Please sit down
The reason why you need to sit down is
You need to charge your energy right now
Trust me
If it's not now, there's no chance
Don't try to look cool here
Stop standing
Don't do this
You're going to regret
Coincidentally, as the new year approaches
New Year’s resolutions always end up lasting just a few days, right?
with a 99 percent chance
This year, Epik High’s first real consistency has been working out
We don't need to talk about DJ Tukutz
He goes to the gym every day, as natural as breathing
So, I go in shifts, you know?
But why though?
Do you want me to explain?
The first place I went to, my membership is expired
I don't think we need to listen to the explanation
The second place that I went, it was closed permanently
It's okay if you don't say it
Is the third one open?
The third one was open, but the other two were open again
Tukutz started working out really hard
While we were on tour next to him
We don't have anything to do
He keeps working out
Since we were doing it together
We've been working out consistently
I'm so proud of what we've done for the entire year
Yes, I also
It's not just me, but I've been able to make them work out
I'm so thankful that it was an opportunity
Coincidentally, my trainer is here right now
He's somewhere in the audience
Where are you? Make some noise
Here he is
Wow, his shoulders
I can even see your broad shoulders from here
It's obvious
He's the CEO of a place called Daegym in Hannam-dong
I can see your shoulders from here
I think he'll have to pay twice as much for the ticket
Since his shoulders enter this way
But since this person is watching
I have no choice but to work really hard on the upcoming set
We gotta show him
And our fans, too
Since you've been to Epik High concerts several times
You should work out before the end of the year comes
Honestly, you work out a little bit, right?
Because of the upcoming set
And we're going to sit down for this upcoming set
I think it's good now, please stand
Members, please stand up
Members on the 2nd floor, please stand up
Our personal trainer over there, please stand up
You stand up really slow
Wow, you stand up really slowly
Well, now we have a chance
I don't know how well the personal trainer jumps
You were always in the position of observing, right?
No, I was always the one being attacked
We will keep our eyes on you now
Because we know where you are
I really wanted to die
I'll make you jump to the point where you want to die
Alright everyone, are you ready to jump together?
We will still, truly, approach it like we're working out
We will gradually increase the speed
At first
you'll be like, "I got this; I can handle this"
That's what you'll think
Then, suddenly, the tension keeps rising
In the end, it's like the whole running community shows up
Everyone, it's going to drive you crazy
Are you ready?
Now, with this, we really... in 2025
We start strong and energetic
Alright, we also need to get ready
Get ready
So, everyone, how was the workout?
Wow, that's interesting
I'm not tired at all
Wow, that's awesome
I'm being serious
I'm not tired at all
Then, I can do it again
Wait
I'm not tired, but I really want some water
It's drier here than I expected
It's not because I'm tired
I'm a little thirsty
All right, everybody
As you all know
Today's stage will end with the next song
We are about to take our leave
All right, everybody
There's no need to feel depressed
This performance has to eventually come to an end
to send off 2024
have a stronger, cooler, and happier
We can welcome 2025
Even if we say goodbye for today
We'll be meeting throughout the entire year next year
I hope we can say goodbye with a smile
Is that alright?
I’ll take that as it’s alright
That as it’s alright
We’ve taken it that way
We’ve taken and
Let’s agree that it’s all good, everyone
Everyone, that
Oh, come on
Shall we each say a word?
No, no
Don’t go under Park Kyu Bong (the official light stick)
Actually, I know everything
Even after we say goodbye here
I know we'll come out and do an encore and all that
But
We'll pretend we don't know what's going to happen
and say goodbye here
Mithra, go first
This year, we performed at many places
While planning this concert from the beginning of the year
I remembered the memories of last year
To me, that performance was very
What should I say? It was a performance that left a lasting impact
If our fans come to this place again
we'll be able to show them the performance we've crazily prepared for a whole year
That's what I thought
Once again, you’ve filled this venue, just like back then
Thank you so much
For the next 10 years
I’d have no regrets
if we could continue like this
Thank you
Our JungSik Oppa
After the first and second rounds, finally, the third round
Justin's Theory of Happiness
Everyone, happiness is
It's my opinion, everyone
more about the number of times you feel it, not its size
After feeling immense happiness
its sudden loss brings
disappointment and discouragement
I’d like to consistently bring you small joys throughout next year
Thank you so much for coming today
I hope you're all happy
Thank you
When we started today's concert
The stress that you've experienced throughout the year of 2024
I'll make you forget about things like worries, anger, and so on
Let's overcome that and spend 2025
I said that I would make it a bit more energetic
Did I pull it off?
Did it work out?
If so, I'm satisfied
When I was young
When I was very young
I’ve often fallen into the delusion of
wanting to change the world
and dreaming too big
But every year, when I gather with you all
I feel like I can at least change my world little by little
and that makes me very happy and grateful
Thank you
Let's go for the final song!

Sunjae!
How's the performance going?
Of course, it's going well!
You're performing with me too
Why..
are you crying?
(Thank you to Choi Jin for the special appearance)
Huh?!
(Episode 2)
We boarded at the same bus stop
Do you think we've ever taken the same bus before?
Have you seen me before?!
No, just no
Is that a yes or a no?
Do you always take the bus at this time?
I usually go earlier
Since there's no early practice before the performance, I'm going now
I should start taking the bus at his time
to get to know him
Performance?
What kind of performance??
What, why, again?
What, what, what, why!
If I tell you, you're going to rush over again?
Get off the bus
I need to get off
I need to get off!!
Huh..?
Huh??
Mister!!
I haven’t gotten off yet!!!
Yes~!!!
Mother~ Yes!!!
Driver, stop!
Sunjae, are you okay?
Are you out of your mind?
Did you lose your mind?
Pull yourself together!
You can't even get off the bus!!
Still, thanks...
I didn't mean to do it for you
I needed to get my umbrella back
I was going to give it back anyway...
Have you seen me before?
Before the performance?
What performance?
Sir, I haven't gotten off yet
What should I do?
Sunjae, are you freaking okay?
Are you out of your mind?
Do you have a brain to think or not?
You can't even get off, damn it
This is the first time a guy has ever spoken to me like this
Thank you so much
I'll do it again
Hold on, be quiet for a moment
Why are you crying?
I'm stuck with Samsung Electronics stocks
Me too
(Thank you for watching "Lovely Runner: Epik High")
(Lovely Runner: Epik High)
Looks like a toad
This is it, you bastard
Our fans really know how to swear
They do it refreshingly and coolly, for real
Alright, everyone
Before we continue with the song
My real family
You
Can we take a family photo with you?
Is that okay?
Okay, we have a whole professional international photographer team
Someone came from LA
Seoul
This person is from the Seoul branch
Instead of a baton, it's Park Kyu Bong
I didn't know I'd be doing this today
I just brought out Park Kyu Bong today for the first time
Wow, this is amazing
I brought it out for the first time today
Wow, look at that Park Kyu Bong
it's crazy
For those without Park Kyu Bong, please turn on your flashlight
For those with Park Kyu Bong, please raise it up high
If you have a small Park Kyu Bong, please put it up
Otherwise, please turn on your phone's flashlight
When everyone's ready
One, two, three, smile pretty
One, two, three Make some noise
Let's turn off the lights this time
No, no. everyone, turn on your lights
The lighting here
So let's make this the Milky Way
Please turn on Park Kyu Bong and the flashlight
Are you ready?
The last episode of Epik High concert Everyone, make some noise
You don't want to stand up
This moment is coming to an end
I don't like it
I should comfort this sad feeling with what I'm good at
When I feel sad and lonely
Doing something good will comfort me
Should I do it on this side
or this side?
I'm only going to do it for those who really want it
Because it's cold outside
It's cold outside
You're going to be in big trouble
If you don't want to, don't scream
You're going to be in big trouble
Please wave if you want
Is it this way?
Or this way?
Which side is louder?
Hey, look Is it this way?
Or this way?
It's this way
Oh, really?
I think it's this way
Wait a minute
To be fair, two on this side
And this side
Every day
I have a personal trainer here who destroys me every leg day
I'll just sprinkle it on one side
Are you ready?
Let's do it
There's something that we traditionally do
At this time, we're giving you a small but memorable gift
The way to play is simple
We say, "hello to my little friend"
We're just going to deliver our hearts
To the place where the cheers are the biggest
Not now, not now
Calm down, everyone
The one with the loudest voice wins, everyone
The one with the loudest voice wins here
Let's start from count 7, everyone
After the countdown, let's all say "wow," understood?
7, 6, 5
Altogether
Thank you so much, everyone
See you again in 2025
When I say 3, 2, 1
We're going to say "forever in the rain"
3
If you do this, it's all over
This is really the last one
Wait

Okay, 3 2 1
Thank you
Thank you, everyone
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year
