Epik High's Tablo shared his thoughts on writing and speaking through his channel. He emphasized that what is needed to write well is not flashy words, but the 'good thoughts' contained within them.

Tablo Discusses Writing and Speaking on Personal YouTube Channel

Tablo noted that while many are drawn to the phrase 'someone who writes well,' a good piece of writing is not completed solely through the skill of decorating words. He explained that writing reveals what kind of thoughts the writer holds and what kind of experiences they have passed through.

Tablo's advice: "There are no cheat codes"

To those seeking shortcuts in writing, Tablo said, "There are no cheat codes." He stated that to write better, one must live more, and that the fragments of life obtained through direct experience and confrontation create the density of the writing.

Regarding reading, he viewed it as something that does not stop at the act of accumulating knowledge. Describing books as a channel to indirectly experience the lives of others, he advised that rather than chasing only perfect writing, one needs an attitude of finding things to learn even from 'bad writing.'

Communication through easy words and humor

Tablo described a good communicator as someone who makes the other person understand. He said that to write easy prose, a richer vocabulary is actually required, and conveying complex thoughts simply demands a high level of linguistic ability.

He also mentioned that humor is not merely a device to lighten the weight of writing. It can serve as a tool to help a serious message reach the recipient more effectively, suggesting that if you can make a person laugh, the message has already achieved half its success.

Tablo's story began with writing and led to the value of debates faced when opinions differ and the attitude toward responding to criticism. The words of an artist who has breathed with the public for a long time leave a lingering impression, prompting fans to reflect on writing, speech, and relationships.
