50. In 2010, Tablo, the leader of a Korean hip-hop band called Epik High, faced months-long
doubt and accusation over the accuracy of his school records. An Internet group called "We Urge
Tablo to Tell the Truth (Tajinyo)" raised suspicion in a television documentary produced to reveal
the truth of Tablo's Stanford degree. Although his graduation from Stanford University was later
verified, in August 2010 Tablo filed a libel suit against the bloggers, and a police investigation
was opened. See Park Si-soo, "Tablo-Bashing Website Shut Down," Korea Times, October 22, 2010,
