Shocking glow-up: Epik High’s Tablo revealed that his daughter Haru has officially entered test-taker mode — she recently took AP (Advanced Placement) exams and is now preparing for the SAT, stunning fans who remember her as the adorable child star from The Return of Superman.
Recently, Tablo uploaded a video on his YouTube channel discussing memorable movie OSTs. While introducing various soundtracks, he naturally shifted to talking about his daughter Haru.
Tablo said, "My daughter Haru took AP (Advanced Placement) exams and she’s getting ready for the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test). It’s hard to believe, but she’s grown up that much," drawing major attention. AP lets high school students take college-level courses and exams, while the SAT is a standardized test widely used for U.S. college admissions — signaling that Haru is entering the full-on college prep stage.
He also candidly shared the struggles Haru faces as a student. "Sometimes Haru’s confidence dips," Tablo admitted. "In those moments, she needs the energy of 'I can do anything.'" His go-to solution? Movie soundtracks.
"Movie OSTs instantly pull up your emotions and give you a confidence boost," Tablo explained, recommending the OST of 'The Godfather.' He added, "I’m planning to play this music every time Haru takes a test. I’m sure it’ll help," sending a heartfelt message of support to his daughter.
Tablo married actor Kang Hye-jung in 2009, and they welcomed Haru in 2010. Haru previously appeared on KBS2’s variety show The Return of Superman, where her unique sensitivity and charm won massive love from viewers.
Fans reacted with disbelief and pride, commenting, "Time flies," "Haru’s already that grown?" and "Can’t believe she’s taking the SAT," while also cheering her on: "Good luck on the exams" and "Hope she becomes someone great."
