[Photo&] Academy Award Prediction Hit Rate of 62.5%, Tablo's Excitement for 'Avoiding Channel Shutdown'

'Tablo', Betting His Podcast Channel on the Success of the '2026 Oscars' Predictions

Tablo of the group Epik High achieved an impressive accuracy rate of 62.5% in his predictions about the winners of the '2026 Oscars', putting his podcast channel at risk. According to the podcast episode of 'Hey Tablo' released on the 17th, he correctly identified the winners for 15 out of the 24 categories at the 98th Academy Awards. He had made a bold promise before the ceremony to close the channel if the prediction results did not exceed 50%, and he perfectly achieved the goal of a majority hit, dispelling public concerns.

Sharp Cinematic Insight, Perfect Predictions from 'Michael B. Jordan' to Best Picture

During the prediction process, Tablo’s analytical abilities matched those of a film critic. He praised actor 'Michael B. Jordan' for his performance and strongly supported his chances of winning, while also sharply analyzing the trend of split awards for Best Picture and Best Director, ultimately selecting the film 'One Battle After Another' for Best Picture. Particularly in the Music category, he made a prediction without a hint of hesitation, which perfectly matched the actual Oscar results, leaving the public astonished.

Proving His Strength Against Mockery of "It Looks Like the Channel Will Close" 'Tablo'

Before the ceremony, Tablo's SNS was filled with skeptical comments such as "50% hit? Good luck with that" and "It looks like the channel will close" as a form of ridicule. In response, he maintained a relaxed demeanor by saying, "I will calmly state my position in tomorrow's episode." Ultimately, his confidence proved not to be arrogance but rather the result of thorough preparation from watching and analyzing most of the nominated works.

Subscribers Breathe a Sigh of Relief, "Please Avoid Betting the Channel as a Guarantee"

As the dramatic prediction success results were revealed, the subscribers of 'Hey Tablo' expressed both cheers and relief. Fans felt more tension regarding the existence of the podcast channel itself rather than the Oscar results, urging strongly that reckless bets with the channel as a guarantee should not happen again in the future. This incident not only proved Tablo's cinematic insight but also reestablished the strong bond with his fans.
