Epik High's Tablo recently offered candid insights regarding his perspective on the institution of marriage. During an appearance with fellow members Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz on Sung Si Kyung's YouTube channel, Tablo opened up discussion about marriage, sharing that many of his juniors often pose questions about marriage.
In response, Tablo candidly revealed, "I honestly advise against marriage when asked, ‘Should I get married?’" He further expressed his viewpoint, "I'm in agreement with Kang Hye Jung that marriage isn't necessarily an ideal system. However, I believe that when you find someone you genuinely love, living with them can be the most convenient and joyful way of life.”
His bandmate, Mithra, concurred with Tablo's opinions, describing marriage as a means of tying down your girlfriend so that you can keep the relationiship going.
Echoing the positive sentiment, Tukutz opined that marriage is a process requiring individuals to compromise and relinquish portions of their ego. His statement further reinforces views shared by his fellow band members, highlighting the importance of releasing selfish attitudes for successful relationships.

Marriage isn’t for everyone. There’s a very famous couple who have been together (dating) for 30 years or so…..Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are Hollywood royalty. They have never married. And, when they’ve been asked in interviews why they haven’t…they answer with, “ We don’t need a piece of paper to prove that we’re dedicated to one another. Because, we know that we’re both here and in this because we want to be. Not because we have to be.” I do believe what they have is genuine and rare. Especially in the movie industry/especially Hollywood. At the same time, when you’re both wealthy you don’t necessarily need marriage for security like regular people possibly would. Whenever I read about people who are fine without marriage, I always think of them. On the other hand, people who aren’t well off sometimes need to have the security of marriage for income, dependents, housing, insurance purposes, etc. I believe that different people can be happy and fulfilled in different ways. Everyone is different and has different perspectives and preferences. I think nowadays that no one way is necessarily the right way. Marriage suits some people, but not others. I would have to agree with him however about marriage not always being an ideal system. Everyone has always told me that it’s not an easy thing. And, you have to work at it every single day. So they say that you better REALLY like the person that you marry! Nothing worthy comes easy though.
