The group Epik High specially decorated the year-end by hosting the first 'Epikase Awards.' On the 11th, Epik High held their own awards ceremony by releasing a video titled "We weren't invited to the awards, so we did it ourselves" on their YouTube channel 'EPIKASE.'

At this awards ceremony, Tookwon received the prestigious Grand Prize. Tookwon expressed his emotion, saying, "We defied all expectations and made it happen." He won several awards including 'Color of the Year Award,' 'Simultaneous Interpretation Award of the Year,' and 'Director of the Year Award.' Especially, the 'Director of the Year Award' was for Tablo's alma mater visit project. Tookwon shared his thoughts, "I am grateful to Tablo for giving me the opportunity to receive such a good award. I didn't intend to turn tears into laughter; the original idea was to 'reenact,' but the moment's decision seems to have become a historic episode."

Tablo received the 'Best Couple Award' together with his dog Mochi. However, he was also the recipient of the 'Worst Dresser Award.' Tablo said, "Those pants were bought by Kang Hye-jung, but I haven't worn them since that episode." Additionally, he received the 'Award for Not Being Chosen by the Algorithm (Worst Views Award)' for the 'Tablo Self-Interview' video, which recorded 280,000 views. He said, "This episode happened when I released a new song with RM, and on behalf of RM, I dedicate this award to ARMY."

Mithra received the 'Warmest Person of the Year Award' and the 'Best Dresser Award.' In his acceptance speech for the 'Warmest Person of the Year Award,' Mithra said, "I shared my heart like ordinary people, but since there were two people next to me who shared less, I naturally became the warm person." The 'Food of the Year Award' went to the 'Jjageuli' that Mithra made in the MT episode.

In addition, the video 'Who Would Win if Epik High and Davichi Fought?' received 2.38 million views and won the 'Best Views Award.' Various other awards were presented, including the 'This Is Funny Too Award,' 'Most Natural Product Placement Award of the Year,' 'Staff Award of the Year,' and 'Best Benefactor Award.'

Tablo said, "No one believed we would consistently do this for a year," and Mithra agreed. Tookwon expressed gratitude to the subscribers and took time to reflect on his journey as a YouTuber.

Epik High continues to actively communicate with fans by presenting content on various topics every week through YouTube.
