Epik High's Tablo calls out people who request for concert invitations. Tablo opened up during a segment about his concert, saying, "I appreciate it when people around me ask if I can get them concert tickets. However, our shows are often sold out." He continued, "These people don't contact me for an entire year, and then three days before the concert, they contact me and ask for tickets. If it had ended there, I wouldn't be this annoyed. But they would say things like "I'm coming to the concert to cheer you on" as if it was for me."

Tablo said, "Whenever this kind of situation arises, I wonder what it would have been like if it was a doctor instead of a rapper. I would contact them once a year and ask if I could observe the surgery. Surgery is for the patient, and it doesn't make sense for someone to want to come and watch the surgery process," and explained, "The reason I used this analogy is because I'm not holding concerts for myself."

Tablo continued, "Concerts aren't about me, they're about my fans. They're a stage for those who take the time once a year to pay, wait in line, and get in." He added, "Concerts aren't about me enjoying myself." [Nate]
