Epik High Meets Davichi in One ‘Mise-en-scène’: Rap and Ballad Share the Frame

What happens when the storytelling of rap and the emotional lift of ballad music occupy the same frame? Epik High and Davichi call this meeting ‘Mise-en-scène.’

Genie lists ‘Mise-en-scène’ as an October 13, 2026 single credited to both Epik High and Davichi. A music video accompanied the release. The point is the union of two recognizably different approaches to telling a musical story.

The track's official audio appeared at No. 35 on a Korean YouTube popularity chart observed October 20. That is a time-specific chart observation, not a permanent ranking or a claim about national public opinion.

The chart indicates visible engagement, but it cannot tell us what each listener thinks. Some may hear the storytelling in the rap first; others may connect with the ballad vocals. Those are possible readings, not fabricated quotations from fans.

The title borrows a film term for arranging elements within a scene. Applied to music, it invites listeners to imagine voices and lines as a composition. We do not claim to have inspected unverified shots from the video.

Genie records October 13 as the release date and lists Epik High and Davichi as the artists. A music publication describes romance-film homages in the accompanying video. The embedded YouTube item here is official audio, not footage from that video.

Comparing the official music video with the audio may reveal two approaches to the same idea. View counts and chart positions change; the confirmed release facts do not.
