Epik High’s Tablo dating actress Kang Hye-jung
by javabeans
Wait, whaaa…?
Quirky film actress Kang Hye-jung (Oldboy) has come out and confirmed that she is dating Epik High rapper (and short story writer) Tablo.
In an interview with Star News on the 5th, a source close to Kang explained, “Kang Hye-jung has a very candid personality and isn’t the type to hide the truth. She has revealed that she is dating Tablo.” The couple met last year — they’d run into each other by chance and were introduced by friends — and hit it off. They started dating shortly thereafter.
Kang Hye-jung was last in the KBS drama (and one of my favorites) Flowers For My Life and is currently working on her Hollywood debut film, Wedding Palace.
Tablo most recently released the album “Lovescream” with Epik High and is currently DJ-ing an MBC FM4U radio program.
This just seems so… random. But hey, I am a fan of both, and have nothing but well wishes for the pair.

I like both but why did she have to say anything? Because he has a book out maybe?! I'm skeptical of people's intentions these days.

If he is younger he's got very good taste. I can never get over how different she looks from her Oldboy days. I liked her a lot in the Thai film with Asano Tadanobu the coolest Japanese guy on earth.

@ marbleloaf: I guess it sort of makes sense that she's sort of into rappers since she's part of YG Ent...
@ sonam: He's actually two years older than her (I think)...
Anyway, I'm really happy for both of them! The only movie of Kan Hyejung's I've watched is Herb, but I absolutely loved her in it. And, of course, Epik High and Tablo rock!
Best wishes for their relationship :)

omg i like both people, but i agree with you, this is SUPER random! just look at her last (very famous) ex- jo seungwoo... not exactly similiar to tablo. i hope it goes well for the both of them though? haha i think i'm just in shock about it all right now!

OH MY....god?
I don't know to say....I would say that I'm happy for them, but this all just seems so surreal...
Not random, just incredibly weird. I simply can't picture Kang Hye Jung dating a rapper. Or Tablo dating....anyone. In my little Tablo dream world I imagined he would be making music for the rest of his life and nothing else...
Great, now they have to get married. Because if they break up I'll be the heartbroken one.

Kang Hye-jung is a quirky actress who does quirky film/tv projects (see Welcome to Dongmakgol) so this pairing isn't really that surprising (not all the type to go for the tall, hunky type).
Have to disagree w/ javabeans w/ regard to Flowers For My Life.
The 1st 50 minutes of it was great - quirky scenes w/ Kang at her family's funeral parlor and working at a hospital as a nurse.
However, once Cha Tae Hyun's character was introduced, it all went downhill (god, his character was annoying).
Basically, FFML had poorly written dialogue, ridiculous scenarios, annoying characters and pretty much every K-drama cliche (which isn't necessarily bad if done well or w/ a fresh spin, but it wasn't).

In my class the other week, someone in my group had to act out KHJ part in Dokmakgol- it was hilarious. But she's such a cutie.
And I love Tablo, I love this pairing.
So stoked for the two.

i have to admit. i literally gasped out loud when i read the words 'tablo dating' haha...
yay - i'm glad he found someone that makes him happy! i remember reading a dramabeans post from awhile ago about how he's had bad luck with girls - and it made me sad cuz he seems like such a cool guy.
best wishes for them!! :o)
javabeans - i don't know if you've heard anything, but i heard a rumor that epik high is coming to LA ktown for a concert sometime in the near future.. any truth to that?

now i know who kang hye jung reminds me of... she looks like sophie neveu... the actress from da vinci code... the face which is really really cute and pure and innocent... should i say babyface? hm... not sure, but they got cute face
both of them got my blessing ^^... though sometimes i feel like tablo is way to good for her, (main reason for this is because she acted the sex scene in rules of dating, spoiled my image of her, wish she didn't)... but she's extremely pretty and talented... so ok, yah, i love those two together.. ^^ hehehe
