This article was titled “Rapper-poet DANIEL LEE returns to Stanford to clear his name.”

Introducing Tablo as a rapper-poet of the Asian hip-hop group Epik High, the article said Tablo, along with a crew from MBC, was on campus last week.

“The visit is part of Lee’s continuing effort to prove that he attended the university and to clear his name,” it said.

It said, “Lee, who graduated from Stanford in 2002 with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English, has been the subject of Internet rumors among so-called netizens who accuse him of lying about his Stanford degree.”

Stanford expressed regrets about the rumors, despite his school official and professor verified that Lee was a Stanford graduate.

“My document has a legal bearing here in the United States,” Black was quoted as saying. “I could go to jail if I were to falsify the document. The ignorant mob, I’ll call them, is just spewing poison for no reason,” Tom Black, university registrar, was quoted as saying.

Black was among those interviewed by the MBC broadcasters on Thursday and had the opportunity to talk further with Lee, 29, who says the controversy has been exhausting and discouraging for him and his family.

“I think Daniel is doing very well,” said Black. “He feels very reassured. He saw how we received him – as did the film crew – and he found friends that knew him even while walking around,” the report said.

MBC plans to broadcast the program on Tablo around Sept. 24.
