Thank you Eric , thank you Daebak show and a special thank you to everyone for kind words 🙏🏽❤️ hope this is a beginning of long lasting friendships. Blessings ❤️🍀
Great segment!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Big 형! Amazing storyteller. Been a fan since the beginning and took in as many bits of scraps I could learn about you along the way. This was a major reveal in the best way to hear so much about you and from you. Kid from Korea with the Keith Murray energy! On my top ten greatest rappers anywhere list
I never understood people who really believe in manifestation or anything like that until i see this. You are the firat that can explain such an abstract concept to me. I don't know if this concept is applicable in my life, but thanks for giving me another perspective to see what life is about.
Jk a true og…when there’s a korean Drink Champs show, DT must be the first guest. Need more of the stories. We picked up those cd’s back in the day in the Korean market store, bumped those tracks in the car windows down. For all that music is when you’re a young’un, it meant a lot for many peeps. Thanks for putting it down 🙌
Tiger JK is truly a legacy, I wish more ppl could’ve known what his story behind, I mean he’s like the textbook of KHipHop, that no one should skip. Thanks Eric for making JK feel cozy that he just spilled out everything!!
Bro is hip hop period
Bruh, this whole conversation was a RIDE man. This man's story is so intriguing. I'm so happy Eric just let him speak unfiltered. Astonishing.
It still blows my mind how he's just hasn't aged visually. He's still looks like he's in his early 30's
and to think he's nearly 50
@@sai9507 WHAT
OMG RIGHT
@@l.l.l364 yeah I know right
mans ages like fine wine just like his beautiful wife!
A movie won't be enough... we need a NETFLIX series for this.
Season 1: Miami
Season 2: LA
Season 3: South Korea
Wow I would so enjoy the serie lots of tears fun thrill and over all lesson of life
Season 4: When he was abducted by aliens
Season 5 : when he is into a meme because of Jordan
That's Fresh off the Boat but dialed up to 11.
YES!
His story is insane, he's always been quite reserved on variety shows and now we know why - he's got a LOT to say!
Tablo (+ Haru) and Tiger (+ Jordan) both have to come together and have a podcast where they are just being the coolest dads out there.
their moms are also amazing as well!! kang hye jung and tasha!
I would love this
Add the super cool moms! Both Yoon Mirae (Tasha) and Kang Hyejung are legit icons.
Wow it’s insane how Tiger JK was raised in a post-LA Riots where the tension was high especially for Koreans. This was a great story and it makes so much sense why this man seems so approachable bc he’s had such a diverse experience
theres a story where Tiger Jk was in the hood during the riots and rapped in front of a black crowd on a peace mission and turned it up
Tiger is a real one! He lives this thang! Hip hop is engrained into him he’s not a fake but accepted by the originators of the culture. This man is everything SOME rappers in Korea try to imitate and he did it authentically. An honor to hear his story this man needs a lifetime movie AND a book.
💯
fr fr
His comedic timing is impeccable lmao. When he said he thought he landed in hell but it was just Miami, how his ramblings actually get on Tasha's nerves and how the main reason he went back to SK was out of spite so that he can show off his student ID (in which he posed so happily) cracked me the hell up!
Also, him talking about his son was so on point. My daughter is almost 13 and talks to people all over the world and talks through memes. True comedians know how to pull out the truth in everything but make it funny and relatable.
For me was when he said his dad moved him to LA, cause he got scared he might get killed, then to subtly say 'well yeah there were some shootings you know?'
It’s so crazy how Tiger Jk’s story hasn’t been told before on any Korean tv show! It’s so amazing and his journey to becoming who he is now is sooo COOOL! MAD RESPECT
He and Tasha shared it in one of the Korean talk shows (I think it was video or radio star) a couple of years ago. There was even an article about it but the hosts seem to gloss over it because it was neither funny nor inspiring.🤷🏽♀️
Is this the longest interview yet? I'm not complaining though there hasn't been a dull moment.
Omg exactly... 1 hr 40 mins 😍
Loved every minute of it
Exactly.. i was so immersed in the podcast I didn't know it was 1 hr and 40 mins
his story is so crazy and powerful bruh like this man needs a movie adaptation ASAP
Ikr I was thinking the same thing
And I feel like he still skipped stories! There's more to tell. In my head I kept thinking "write that down!"
I've known Tiger JK (and Tasha too) for over a decade now but had no idea about some of the stuff he had to go through, really appreciate that he shared his story. It speaks a lot about Eric Nam not just as an interviewer but as person as well that he was able to create an atmosphere where JK felt safe to talk about such deep topics.
I hope one day we can have Tasha on the podcast too❤
YESSSS! I’d love to see Tasha on!
Tiger JK needs to write a memoir. I could listen to him for HOURS. I can totally relate to the different asian groups that did not get along with each other (FOBs, 1st gen, mainland, etc.) Gang culture was how it was back in the day. Thank you so much for having him on the show!! I really enjoyed this episode…he knows the Pharcyde?! Duuude.
Their music is OG. I haven’t listened to their songs in years! (I’m feeling old 😂) any chance you’ll interview Tasha or Bizzy next?? 😉) keep up the great work!
It’s crazy how this doesn’t have the most views on here but the new generation of Kpop fans don’t understand how big of a deal this interview is. It was just a great listen and Tiger JK should have his own podcast
Especially love this segment! Refreshingly Real people talk.. Tiger JK should be shown more love. Thank you Eric for always allowing your guests to express themselves.
When he said his dad moved him from Miami to L.A. I was like, Hoooow is that better? 😂 Outta the frying pan and into the fire. Lol Thank God it all worked out in the end.
listened the podcast twice and now watched it again on youtube, that's how interesting Tiger JK's story and his way of talking was to me :)) wish the Tablo podcast was still on so he and Tablo could have a conversation
Ohhh that'd be so cool
Oh yes now that you mention this. That would've been dope!
That would be EPIC
Are they still friends ?? Tiger JK and TABLO?
@@talkingtiffy is there a reason why they're not?
Wow, a true legend here on the Dive Studios sofa. This is a big day!
Bro wtf, this was an amazing journey to go through.
Wow.
Immigrant trials, gang environments, race wars, industry hurdles, GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION, betrayal.
This man is a living movie. Absolute respect to the living legend JK.
Please keep going man, you inspired & motivated me heavily.
Tiger JK sounds so calm and it seems like it would be so relaxing hanging out with him
His voice is so soothing
I can listen to JK's story for hours. Very interesting.
I was soooo in tranced and invested with Tiger JK....I need him to be on Dive Studio pod casts more often...pleasantly surprised....Applause from USA!
Mark Tuan & BiBi ost Never Gonna Come Down for Shang Chi Marvel movie is fantastic!!!!
Yeahh:)
This man is Legend
Man Tiger JK is funny as hell lol. I loved hearing his story.
I teared up man. I discovered MFBTY about 8 years ago and did listen to them from time to time but they somehow disappeared, until recently. Knowing the reason, MAN. That was deep. That's why I'm so excited with their label and Bibi because I miss their presence.
I love a person who can have a conversation for more than an hour, sounds silly but nowadays is hard to find someone who has a lot of interesting things to say, respect for tiger jk
This was really really nice seeing such an icon through such an intimate lense, firstly props to Dive Studious man, they made sure to give Tiger the space and comfort of just being himself, clearly, I could tell that he needed such a change of pace,(and eric you're just a fckn great host, shout outs to you brother) that's why I love ya'll so much. Moreover I really really appreciate Tiger opening up about such personal matters, and i grew nothing but immense respect for you getting all of that off your chest. And regarding your latest single's MV where you subtly referenced Malcolm X looking through the window, I literally just noticed it a couple of days ago and I legit got goosebumps, To be honest, being able to speak on such a topic while paying homage and reference to such a strong figure in Black American history, and people who have faced similar issues, all while trying to portray your frustration and angst through Hip-hop is an honour brother, for reals. To speak up on to what's happening to the world nowadays against Asian Americans and many Asians who live outside of their home countries, is a very eye-opening concept man, and I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to your family, no one deserves such heinous acts being done to them, nd Tiger if you read this, thanks a lot and mad respect for what you did there with the MV and to what you're doing for the future, truly respect and look forward to any future projects you will release and i sure hope you do manifest em and act upon em, mad inspiring talk, SO LOVE PEACE BROTHERR
This was hands down my favorite interview you guys have done. What an incredible artist and human being! Thank you for sharing and giving us the opportunity to learn where his unique style and perspectives stem from. Hoping for more content like this 🤞
I already listened to this on Spotify. What a story! What a life! He seriously needs to think about writing a book/making that movie. Also it’s so sad that he had to make himself smaller to seem non-threatening so he could protect his family.
Tiger JK is one of the few KHH stars that acknowledges Black HH culture and Black American history with due deference...kudos to this amazing man!
Yes. He knows black people. Makes a difference whennyiubgrow upnwith real hip hop artists
Finally someone who is worth watching! It's been a while. Tiger JK needs to do Mindset lol. He has lived through a lot! Hope you bring on Yoon Mirae too. Her story is interesting too.
I listened to this on Spotify, and oh boy i was gripped for the full 1h40 min... ngl I teared up when he talked about his dad... "why did such things happen to me when all I've done is try to be good" that hit so hard, and I thought of my mum when he shared that. thank you Tiger JK and Eric Nam and Dive studios for this life changing episode
Eric, your questions were great and I loved how you contextualised throughout the interview for the listeners. As a fan of khiphop, it was really nice to hear about Tiger JK's earliest influences. Well done on yet another fantastic interview!
Not hood politics. Mans is from the gutter! 😂😂😂 yo he’s truly a vibe, his stories are really captivating.
Exactly 😂
Thank you sooooo much for allowing Tiger JK to tell his origin story. I've been following him for years, but I never knew of all the things he has been through. I needed to go to bed a half an hour a go, but I didn't want to stop listening.
How about JK on Mindset? I think he has a lot to share
👍👍👍👍👍 Yaaas! Pls Dive Studios,🙏🙏🙏
Tiger JK : SEE? Natural rapper.
Eric : nO NO NO, I like to write essays.
Eric's always coming up with this iconic lines.
This is favorite Daebak show episode, if I'm being honest.
This was by far the best interview I’ve seen from the Daebak show. Tiger JK is absolutely enthralling and and I was captivated throughout the whole interview. I can listen to Tiger JK for hours - it seems like he has a lot to say and he has really good perspectives in life, I’m sure due to everything he has been through. He seems very wise. I’m glad he was able to persevere through it all and was able to share his story through your platform. Eric, your interview skills are excellent and allows the guest to really open up to you. It’s refreshing and authentic. Your interviews flow beautifully.
I hope you can bring Yoon Mi-Rae as well and BIBI. I think that would make an amazing episode. Also, petition to have WONHO come on the Daebak show or ITYD 🔥🤩 He just released another project and is really sweet & funny!
Such a great personality and good looks to top it off. So likable!
Came here after skz's 5-star album release and listening to Topline (ft. Tiger JK) for the 30th time. He's so chill and nice. I enjoyed this episode ❤
Such a down to earth person.
He interacts with us on twitter a lot too💜
I don't know why but the way Tiger JK showed love to Eric and to dive studios by sharing his story and even the exclusive on the features of his new song makes me emotional. You could feel the genuineness
I listened this already today on apple podcast and got to know so many things that never imagined about his life. Thank you for having these conversations with him ♥️
He’s so pleasant to listen to and has so many stories to tell that I agree with Eric about the tv show, or even if he ever wants to write a book.
I’m sad to hear about the scamming, I was already into all of their music at that time and never realized the struggles they were going through.
Grateful that eric is doing this. Any guest is so comfortable talking to him, eric has a talent to open them up
This was a bless! Tiger Jk is just amazing! Impossible not to love him! Thank you for sharing your story with us!
P. S. Thank you, Eric, for making your guests reaching that comfort of speaking out loud even their darkest experiences!
This man made me laugh, cry and left me feeling fulfilled ♥️♥️♥️
Him and his wife are legendary in khip hop i love all of them they were the reall hip hop of Korea where they spit fire and not cringy hip wannabes hop but they never appreciated them.
I loved every second of this episode, this was probably my favourite (i love the openness & hearing Tiger JK's experiences was so interesting)!
At the beginning of this I couldn’t stop thinking that he reminds me somehow of Nipsey Hussle. I guess it’s the LA thing? Very cool dude with an intriguing story. This has been one of my favorite episodes.
I've been following this man for years but I really didn't Tiger JK was this funny. So wise and entertaining. Love Dive Studios and Daebak Show for bringing it out of him!
Seriously need to get him on more shows where he can just talk, I love hearing about his experiences and perspectives
Tiger, it's okay to tell your story when you're asked to tell it. I understand where you're coming from, I'm a person who talks a lot as well so I sometimes feel I could be a burden. But a podcast is made for this. So live it!
his background story is truly so interesting and i've heard of tiger jk before, but it is true korean media doesn't do him justice, i would have never guessed how incredible his career is and how much he has to say. this is really fun and i will check him out!
This is the best interview I've ever heard! Tiger Jk is so thoughtful and his life has been so interesting. I really appreciate Eric's ability to let his guests speak freely and steer the conversation in whatever way they need. He's an incredible listener and his insights he contributes add something so nice to the conversation. If there's any artist I would want to talk with it might be these two (and Tasha pls interview her soon!) Eric seems like he'd be a good therapist because he's such a supportive listener and even JK seemed surprised at how much he was opening up, I really enjoyed this so much. Thank you for this conversation. I would listen to 5 hours of Eric and Tiger JK
I love how Eric was so into his story, he was really attentive and interested in to him😍
Does Tiger JK age backwards? He looks younger every single time he comes out on a show!
I feel healed a bit after hearing JK talk about so much. Thank you Dive for bringing him out and for JK for coming on the show. Very thankful!
This was an incredible life story! I love how he created, by accident or not, opportunities for himself regardless of his situation. Thanks for sharing!
Hey DIVE crew, if you're reading this, please take it as my fan letter to request Tiger JK be added to DIVE Studios productions. Give him a MINDSET series, a podcast show (with Tasha and Bizzy too??), meanwhile making a docu-series in the background.. such insanely inspiring storytelling that deserves to be shared
I love him, his vibe, his storytelling... Thank you for this great interview ❤️
That was such a great interview. He is so honest and humble. I was a always curious about his origins as a relatively new k-hip hop fan.
His story of how he takes care of his late father still lingers in my mind.... That's the first time I've seen someone so legendary appears common to me...
This artist is so nice to listen to, his story lane has amazingly timing; such a down to earth person and grateful 🤍👏🏻
His music also 🔥 🎧
i was so stoked when I saw who was being interview.
Best thing about this podcast it’s introduces artist that I never knew. I'm ignorant about hip hop in Korea but I'm curious to know more. His a very interesting person 😜
I discover his music through variety show that he was invited so i do some checkin in youtube and her wife. He is so charismatic and soft spoken and really good to listen his story through this podcast and mind blowing how his life back then in US.
Especially from 2D1N s3, i got to know him more. And there was 1 variety show of him with his son and wife. That was good too
People who haven't watched this are sure missing out. THIS IS LIFE GOLD.
this was so amazing i feel like tearing up like seriously i feel so light and "better" after watching this and to think i just randomly played this just cause and because it seems so interesting like what could they possibly talk about right. it's something kind of cathartic to me, listening to tiger jk's story and the struggles and the bad stuff and seeing the way how he talks about it now. i'm kind of going through some weird stuff too right now and i really feel so comforted after this. what an intelligent, really loaded and really inspiring episode. thank you.
This felt like watching a movie play out. And I'm only 20 minutes in 😱
I dunno who the guest is, but I'm so invested now 🤓
Yoon mirae next! Then both of them on get real 💕🙏
That was incredible, wow. He said he was always uncomfortable in his on skin, and I can relate, so shout out to him for opening up. I remember I watched a show about him and Tasha and got interested, so I couldn't miss this one. I love this studio, damn.
I still want to listen to this interview, like mad love to DIVE, Eric and Tiger JK for this
I remember back in 2011 discovering his music and falling in love with it, especially his lyrics. Mirae, Bizzy and Tiger JK are some of the most talented musicians I've listened to. I love the way they love music and how they've navigated this industry so graciously. Despite everything, they're still putting quality music out, they're still humble as well. I so love his and Mirae's relationship too. They're truly beautiful people and deserve all the recognition and respect.💕
“Tolerating my rambling” SIR ???? I enjoyed this soooo much, thanks for being so real and there should definitely be a documentary about your life with at least 3 seasons!!! I have been a casual fan and seen you on some stuff, but really getting so deep in your background story while working next to it, was the best thing I can do!!! Thank you Tiger JK, thank you, Eric and Thank you dive studios, for always providing!
HIT ME UP WHEN TIGERJKS MOVIE IS UP PLS! BRUH HE GOT CRAZY STORY!
Man what a great story! This is my first time watching like any interview of him. And he comes across as a really humble and down to earth person. This was so amazing to watch! Not a single moment that was dull. Tiger JK it was a pleasure to listen to your ramblings! I really hope you attract good things in life and are happy in both personal and professional life
Listening to Tiger JK brought memories about my father telling his experiences in the past. Thank you Dive Studios for the great interview
im freaking the fuck out why does tiger jk LOOK SO YOUNG IM DYING bro hes 47 yo
Dive please we need a part 2🙏🏽
So many interesting stories from Tiger JK
It was deep in a fun and interesting way
The more you listen the more you want to hear what’s in the closet
Learned a lot honestly
And I love BIBI for choosing to stay with them even through the hard times
Thanks Tasha for being supportive, a strong woman, a mother and a wife!!!
Thank God Tiger JK was able to pull through the toughest times and learned to appreciate stuff more rather than blaming himself for things going wrong.
Soar higher and higher from now onwards Legend!!!
To be honest, this is my first time knowing who Tiger JK is and I've only heard one song from this man, but I have so much respect for him and Eric Nam. The way they hold this conversation with each other really makes you feel like you are the fourth person in this room with them, just getting lessons and reminiscing about his past and how honest he talks about his struggles is like fresh air. Because some artist don't want to show that side of them. Definitely an amazing role model and person. Thank you to the Dive Studios team for allowing artists to show raw emotion and for sharing with everyone who is willing to listen
Y'all Tiger JK just gave us a free Mindset episode.
"Im gonna mess up the feng shui" 😂😂😂
his face though. a fine man forreal. He ages like fine wine
i' m really into tiger jk story that i was shock that i finished it already without skipping a second.
Me? Early? To a dive podcast? Actually getting the notif on time? 💅🏽💅🏽
It poped up on my youtube year later. I did not know existance of it. Thank you so much for the in depth interview . Shout out for Eric' analatical sense. No TV show about Tiger JK's life yet
1:10 haha how he thought Eric would put alcohol in his drink :D
It's just the honest interest and charme that gets you to talk
Thank you Dive studios for bringing OG of Khiphop to the show. This man is one of the most down to earth, Talented & Humble man good to hear his life story one of the best episode and lesson learning one too. God sure does help those who trust in him. May you and your family be blessed till eternity and yes people lets stream his songs they are bob 🖤🖤🖤🖤
The humility of Tiger JK always amaze me! I've been following him for quite sometime now and he is really humble
knowing how Drunken Tiger's first album came into existance is mind blowing and makes me appreciate it even more
Man I would LOVE to raid his vinyl collection. 😍
How are there only 8.7k views?!? Seriously this is a work of art. Please everyone share this!
Tiger JK needs to write a book . Sounds like a series.
This was on my watch later list thinking that I'll be bored coz this is so long yet I totally enjoyed listening to his story. Man, he can have his own podcast and will never get tired of listening to his stories.
I uploaded an artist info dump about BIBI the other day, and did lots of research on the relationship between Tiger and her. He's like that kind yet strict father who wants what's best for you, but also looks out for you. Also super excited to find out he speaks fluent english :D
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, it was so eye-opening hearing his story and getting to know more about him and his life. Loved it! Keep up the amazing work!
wow, wOW, WOW. What an interesting and incredible story, it's my first time hearing about tiger jk. Thank you dive studios for this interview. Love it!
