He attended Jungwon High School in Bucheon, where he was the lead singer in a band called Honsusangtae (lit. "coma") and won a local music festival. He received piano lessons from Kim Hyun-woo, member of South Korean rock band DickPunks. In addition to musical activities, Baekhyun trained as a martial artist in his youth and has a dan 3 black belt in Hapkido.

In April 2015, Baekhyun released his first solo song since debut, titled "두근거려 (Beautiful)", as the soundtrack for EXO's web-drama EXO Next Door.

백현 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
난 그 깊은 곳까지
들여다보고 싶은데 but I can't
너의 손가락이 스치기라도 하면
내 맘 아득해지는 걸
(That's why I called you so late last night)
떠올려 너의 눈의 sapphire
난 매일 그 바닷속을
헤엄하는 scuba diver, yeah yeah
Every time I dive (time I dive)
네게 내 심장을 두고 와
네 맘에 들면
전부 다 가져도 좋아
조금씩 번져 (번져) I will be violet
원인은 아마두 네 눈의 blue
너도 알 텐데
이대로 번지 옷을 버려도
이게 너를 안는 방법이면
I'm gon' do it
넌 틈틈이 내게 (eh eh) 가르치는 것 같아
네 눈이 품은 의미를
그걸로 몇 편은 쓰겠어 시를 (tu tu tu)
넌 뻔뻔히 내게 다른 해석을 줘
똑같은 단어 속에
숨은 metaphor 난 헷갈려
취한 것 같아
섞어봐 another blue sapphire (eh eh)
알려줘 너의 바다에
내 섬 하난 있는지 (oh ah)
터질 것 같아
온몸에 푸르게 퍼져와
너도 원한다면
내게 빠져도 좋아
조금씩 번져 (번져) I will be violet
원인은 아마두 네 눈의 blue
너도 알 텐데
이대로 번지 옷을 버려도
이게 너를 안는 방법이면
I'm gon' do it
우연히 번진 너와 나의 watercolor
우리 둘 사이에 선 하나를 더 그려
We'll make it to a love supreme
Babe just you and I
완벽히 I'm so into you
조금씩 번져 (번져) I will be violet
원인은 아마두 네 눈의 blue
너도 알 텐데
이대로 번지 옷을 버려도
이게 너를 안는 방법이면
I'm gon' do it
Ooh 모두 젖어도 이게 너의 맘이면 ah ah ah woo ah
The lyrics to "Bungee" by 백현 (Baekhyun) express the deep longing to look into someone's eyes and see into the depths of their soul. The singer admits to feeling trapped and helpless in the presence of this person, who has the power to make their heart ache or soar with just a brush of their fingers. In the chorus, the singer compares their love to a spreading violet color, which represents their intense feelings and desires. They are willing to give everything to this person, and if the other party reciprocates their affection, they are willing to dive headfirst into the deep end.
The second verse speaks of how the singer is constantly enamored with the blue sapphire of the person's eyes. They compare themselves to a scuba diver, diving in and out of the person's heart with each interaction. In a moment of confusion, the singer ponders the different interpretations of the words shared between them, highlighting the metaphorical nature of the language and how easy it is to misunderstand one another. The chorus again references the spreading violet color, which is an indication of just how much the singer has fallen for this person.
Overall, “Bungee” is a love song that speaks to the desperation and passion that comes with yearning for someone. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is willing to do anything to be with the person they love, even if it means losing themselves in the process.
