BTS have also always taken opportunities to sing Epik High’s songs, like during a karaoke session in BTS In the SOOP 2.

Epik High have also continually demonstrated their appreciation for BTS, keeping a promise they made to RM during one of their concerts and even supporting BTS on social media.
Always appreciated. My love for RM and BTS also knows no bounds 🚀 https://t.co/c5zuyB0sfK

Needless to say, fans were beyond excited that RM’s upcoming solo album, Indigo, includes a collaboration, “All Day,” with Epik High’s Tablo.

A collaboration that, according to Tablo himself, he and RM have been waiting for just as long as ARMY.

Tablo even teased that along with the highly-anticipated collaboration, fans could look forward to “more big announcements,” which fans already have some suspicions about.
More big announcements coming btw

In the recent “Album Magazine Film Teaser” for RM’s Indigo, Tablo explained that he agreed to work with RM as soon as he was asked about the collaboration.
He sent over a song, and I didn’t even listen to it before saying, ‘Let’s do this!’

On Twitter, Tablo elaborated further, explaining that because RM “has worked tirelessly to reach the level where quality is a given,” listening to the song wasn’t necessary.
Tablo also explained that RM felt a similar level of trust in him as an artist, as RM “didn’t worry at all about what I would deliver.”
This is only possible when someone has worked tirelessly to reach the level where quality is a given. Likewise, he didn’t worry at all about what I would deliver. #ALLDAY #RM #TABLO #INDIGO 💎 https://t.co/qJ72nPv6KU

Although ARMY are well aware of how diligently RM works on music, always creating masterpieces, the praise and mutual respect RM and Tablo have for each other only makes fans more confident that this collaboration will be legendary.
There’s a reason this collab has been in such high demand for ages, the intellectual/emotional depth you share, not only as artists, but as individuals, it’s so rare to see and is a bond that deserves to be highlighted. You and Namjoon are poets of life that I am grateful for.
