Remapping the Human Soul is the fourth album by Epik High, and it was released on January 23, 2007. The album was supposed to come out in October 2006, but due to problems in the job the date was postponed. The album sold almost 90,000 copies in its first month of release and pushed Epik High to the number one spot for best upcoming artist. Also they decided to become 'no genre, just music' from fourth album. Some songs on the fourth album have been banned from several channels due to issues dealing with sexual crimes, war, education and religion -- topics that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is trying to silence on the air and limit the buying age to 19+ as stated by Tablo in an interview with The Korea Times.[1] The song "Fan (Fanatic)" pushed Epik High and the album to number one on many music charts. Epik High's fame has also grown in Japan due to their song "Flow", which features Emi Hinouchi. They will release a CD sample in Japan.
