Epik High's 'The Roundup 5' Casting Joke Goes Viral, Distributor Responds: 'Are You Really Setting This Up?'

K-hip hop legends Epik High are once again making waves on YouTube, this time with a viral moment from their channel 'EPIKASE'. An interview clip featuring Daniel Dae Kim, released on the 4th, has sparked reactions from a film distribution company, proving the far-reaching impact of their content.

In the video, Epik High's Tablo jokingly suggested to Daniel Dae Kim that he should star in 'The Roundup' (Beomjodoyssi), even proposing that 'The Roundup 5' should be filmed in the US, humorously summoning actor Ma Dong-seok. When Tukutz chimed in, suggesting Steven Spielberg as director, Tablo escalated the fantasy by adding Ma Dong-seok, Daniel Dae Kim, Spielberg, and even Warren Buffett's funding to the mix.

This humorous exchange quickly transcended the screen into reality. ABO Entertainment, the actual investor and distributor of 'The Roundup' franchise, left a comment on the official channel saying, 'Are you really setting this up? We trust you. Epik High, we'll be waiting.' Tablo acknowledged the comment on his story, playfully responding, 'Alright, we're setting the stage. Starting the scenario composition,' fueling further excitement.

The 'EPIKASE' interview format, which amplifies lighthearted banter between guests and members into tangible reactions, is proving its power. Following previous buzzworthy segments like the 'lying broadcast' interview and balance game with Daniel Dae Kim, this 'The Roundup 5' casting joke has once again highlighted the compelling potential of Epik High's entertainment content.

Epik High debuted in 2003 and is a renowned hip-hop trio consisting of Tablo, Mithra Jin, and Tukutz.

They are celebrated globally for their unique musical artistry and profound lyrics.
