These stars who are labeled as school bullies, academic qualifications are also one of their shining points, after all, learning, in the way of reflecting ability, is widely recognized.
But there is another star, but because of his high education was wantonly hurt, once became the target of public criticism, and even lost his loved ones, was dragged into the most terrible nightmare of life...

People who are familiar with K-pop music, especially those who like rap culture, must be familiar with the name, tablo, the captain of the hiphop group Epik high, and also recognized talent.
In the works he has been in, he has basically participated in all the lyrics, compositions, arrangements, etc., and created many popular songs, such as "Born hater", "Fly", "Tomorrow" and so on.
His lyrics are also often thought-provoking, or they become the presence of warm fans.
But Tablo, who liked music at the beginning and embarked on the road of creation, did not know how painfully he would be hurt behind the dazzling of this road.
Shortly after his birth, Tablo, because of his father's occupation, used to live in Jakarta, Switzerland, Hong Kong and other places, and finally moved to Canada with his family and became a Canadian citizen.
At the age of 6, Tablo studied piano and then violin for another 10 years, which also led to a strong interest in music from an early age.
When he was a teenager, Tablo suffered from depression, at this time, hip-hop music gradually became his emotional sustenance and catharsis channel, but his parents did not approve of his decision to become a singer, and he could only follow his family's ideas and enter Stanford University.

Perhaps because he was really indifferent to his studies, or because he wanted to graduate early and do what he liked, Tablo studied hard, and in just three and a half years, he obtained a bachelor's degree in English literature and a master's degree in creative writing, and graduated with a high grade point of 4.0.

After graduating, Tablo returned to South Korea and began to concentrate on music work, with the release of seven albums, five of which topped the source charts, and after sweeping the major awards ceremonies at the end of the year, Tablo and his group Epik High became the representative presence of Korean rap music in South Korea.

In addition to his successful career, he also gained a happy love and married the famous Korean actor Kang Hye-jeong in 2009.
But as the fame grew, so did the trouble. In 2010, the director of the Seoul Art Museum was caught up in a scandal of falsifying academic qualifications, which triggered questions among netizens about highly educated public figures.
Soon, the storm was directed to Tablo. One day in June, someone posted an online attack on Tablo's academic credentials:
"You can't graduate from Stanford in just three and a half years, and the grade point is still so high, this must be false."
"We ask Tablo to tell the truth!"
"You're not called Tablo, you should be called God-Blo, and only God can do what you say."
A raging and inexplicable anger hit Tablo, and some even questioned why Kang Hye-jeong wanted to marry him. Tablo realized that he had to respond in order to defend his family, so he showed his transcript.
At the same time, Stanford University, which was bombarded by numerous South Korean netizens' questioning letters, also issued an official letter in response, saying that Daniel Lee (Tablo's English name) is a Stanford alumnus with a good reputation.
But even so, it can not stop the endless brain holes of people who make up black materials, netizens began to conspire theories, they believe that Daniel Lee, who graduated from Stanford, exists, but Tablo only uses his own financial resources to collude with Stanford and impersonates him.
It is a pity that such brain-dead remarks have been believed by countless people, and more than 30,000 people have set up online forums to make various so-called "real hammers" day and night to prove that Tablo is lying.
Online violence did not dissipate because of the evidence, but began a new round of rampant.

This time, the Tablo family was even more harassed, with death threats, even his Canadian citizenship being accused of being fake, his mother being called a "slut" when he received a phone call, and his brother, a graduate of Columbia University, being implicated.
Tablo, who would be pointed out when he went out, also began to get used to staying at home.
During that time, rumors were rife and sharp and harsh insults were endless:
"You all have to get out of Korea, or you'll pay the price!"
When Tablo's college alumni learned the news, they began to speak out on the public platform, but in exchange for repeated intimidation from Korean netizens.
No one wants to know the truth, everyone just wants to prove what they think is the truth.
Eventually, Tablo accepted the TV station's offer, followed by a video camera, returned to the Stanford campus, met the familiar manager of the Student Services Office, and printed out his diploma and transcripts from the school system to prove his innocence.
At the same time, Tablo also took some of the most active defamators to court, and finally on July 6, 2012, he was fairly punished.
By this time, however, the traumatized Tablo was already tired and numb, because in March before the verdict, his father, in a rumor, died of a chronic disease, and many people said that his father's death was largely due to the pressure of this online violence.

The only thing to be thankful for is that in Tablo's darkest and most helpless days, his wife Kang Hye-jeong has been by his side and has given birth to his lovely daughter Haru.

The poet Tablo, despite such a blow, still maintains the most benign understanding of life.
He once said:
"Human beings are very tolerant of the standard of unhappiness, but extremely strict about the standard of happiness. But no matter how trivial things are, they can fill your reasons for looking forward to tomorrow, this is not a simple hobby, it has the power to make me look forward to tomorrow. ”
He also wrote lyrics to thank life:
He also has a gentle understanding of emotion:
Such Tablo really does "the world kisses me with pain, and I return with a song." ”
Isn't the most rare thing in life that a thousand sails have been exhausted, but it has the softest heart of Akagi?
