[size=+1]Tablo returns to Stanford to clear his name
DANIEL LEE, better known as the rapper-poet “Tablo” of the Asian hip-hop group Epik High, was on campus last week with a crew from the public broadcasting corporation MBC in Seoul, South Korea. The visit is part of Lee’s continuing effort to prove that he attended the university and to clear his name.
Lee,who graduated from Stanford in 2002 with bachelor’s and master’sdegrees in English, has been the subject of Internet rumors amongso-called netizens who accuse him of lying about his Stanford degree.(Stanford magazine wrote about Lee and his soaring career in theJuly/August 2009 issue.)
The rumors continue despite theefforts of TOM BLACK, university registrar, and TOBIAS WOLFF, the WardW. and Priscilla B. Woods Professor in English and Lee’s former teacher. Both Black and Wolff released letters in early June verifying that Lee was, indeed, a Stanford graduate.
Black expressed his frustrationwith the rumors and the volume of email his office received from Koreannetizens in an interview with the English-language JoongAng Daily inJune.
“My document has a legal bearing herein the United States,” Black was quoted as saying. “I could go to jailif I were to falsify the document. The ignorant mob, I’ll call them, isjust spewing poison for no reason.”
Despite those assurances – and threatened legal action by Lee – the netizens persist. In fact, officialsthroughout campus continue to be contacted by members of Korean Webforums asking questions about Lee, his credentials and his citizenship,among other subjects.
Black was among those interviewed bythe MBC broadcasters on Thursday and had the opportunity to talkfurther with Lee, 29, who says the controversy has been exhausting anddiscouraging for him and his family.
“I think Daniel is doingvery well,” said Black. “He feels very reassured. He saw how wereceived him – as did the film crew – and he found friends that knewhim even while walking around.”
During theconversation, Black said he discovered that Lee worked at the CoHoduring his time at Stanford, making sandwiches and handling the cashregister. “His poster is still on the wall in Tresidder of the timewhen he was performing in a play on campus,” said Black.
“Ihad an intimate exchange with Daniel about Korean society and hismusic,” Black said. “I asked him if he had any controversial lyrics,perhaps themes of reform. He said yes. He said he was speaking, throughhis music, of that which he had learned at Stanford. For example, hesaid that sexism is so ingrained in his society that they aren’t evenaware of it. Thus, he was touching some raw nerves. No wonder he hasdetractors!”
The continuing controversy and the prevalence of cyber hate campaigns have been big news in Seoul.
Wrote the chief editorial writer at JoongAng Daily,“Tablo’s travails are a story of the Internet in Korea, and how acountry that likes to call itself the most wired place on earth hascreated, with fiber-optic cables, networks and rampant animosity, anout-of-control character assassination machine.”
