Band frontman and principal songwriter Oh Hyuk was born in South Korea, moving to China with his family at only 5 months of age and spending most of his teens in Beijing. He returned to South Korea in 2012 to study Fine Arts at Hongik University, but has since taken a leave of absence to focus on the band's promotions . The majority of songs from Hyukoh's first EP 20 were completed by Oh alone while he was living in Beijing, and was recorded with session members while Hyuk performed in different Seoul venues as a solo artist under the name "Hyukoh". Wishing to perform with a band he sought up the other three members and officially formed the band Hyukoh in May 2014, holding their first performance in June 2014. In time they experienced large success in the underground music scene, often selling out small-scale venues and signing on with the small but well known management company DRDR AMC.
In summer of 2015, the band became widely known in South Korea after participating in the 2015 Infinite Challenge Summer Music Festival on the popular Korean variety program Infinite Challenge. The band received positive responses from critics and the public, even breaking the top ten of the Billboard World Albums Chart two months after the release of their second mini-album "22". Their sudden success is often credited to their appearance on the show, the band's musical talent, or a combination of the two."
On July 21, 2015, renowned Korean rapper and record producer Tablo revealed Hyukoh as the first act to sign with his independent label HIGHGRND (pronounced as High Ground). HIGHGRND is financially backed by Tablo's current management company, Korean music conglomerate YG Entertainment, but its operations are autonomous from its subsidizer. Hyukoh remains under DRDR AMC management.

When you drown (and I'll drown for you)
When you're sad (can I sing you blues)
When you're naked (I'll be coming through)
When you die (I'll be next to you)
When you drown (and I'll drown for you)
When you're sad (can I sing you blues)
When you're naked (I'll be coming through)
넋 놓고 보던 검은 학생머리
괜히 뽑아 보던 우리 그런 사이
유난히 하얀 얼굴 막 받아온
아침 우유 색깔 우유 먹던 나이
유독 차디차던 손에 항상
배어있던 교회 형의 젊은 땀
그래도 눈은 날 보는 것 같아
자꾸 날 가지고 놀리던 그 밤
아무튼 그래서 나는 좋다 야

조금은 붉은 밝게 물든 머리
괜히 나도 같이 물들어가는 나이
마침내 다가오는 손을 지나
입이 먼저 갔던 우리 그런 사이
한번 떨어진 건 실수예요
같이 떨어지던 어른 같던 밤
철이 든 눈은 날 보는 것 같아
뜨거운 일기 위에 쏟았던 그 밤

넋 놓고 보던 검은 학생머리
The black-haired student that I used to search for while daydreaming
괜히 뽑아 보던 우리 그런 사이
Just simply indulging in a friendship that used to be a bit of a mystery
유난히 하얀 얼굴 막 받아온
The untainted face that has just about embraced every ray of light
아침 우유 색깔 우유 먹던 나이
The age where we used to drink milk the color of the morning sky
유독 차디차던 손에 항상
The always cold person who had habitually chilly hands
배어있던 교회 형의 젊은 땀
The youthful sweat that used to soak through the church brother's clothes
그래도 눈은 날 보는 것 같아
Still, it feels like his gaze is always on me
자꾸 날 가지고 놀리던 그 밤
That night when he kept playing and joking around with me
조금은 붉은 밝게 물든 머리
The hair that was a bit brighter with a hint of red mixed in
괜히 나도 같이 물들어가는 나이
The age when I felt like I was also starting to bloom like that hair color
마침내 다가오는 손을 지나
Passing by the hand that was finally within reach
입이 먼저 갔던 우리 그런 사이
Those kind of friends where even the words that slipped out of the mouth were too fast to catch
한번 떨어진 건 실수예요
Slip-ups are just mistakes we make once
같이 떨어지던 어른 같던 밤
That night when we both fell down like responsible adults
철이 든 눈은 날 보는 것 같아
It feels like his gaze is piercing through me like iron
뜨거운 일기 위에 쏟았던 그 밤
That night when we poured out our hearts on a burning page
아무튼 그래서 나는 좋다 야
Anyway, that's why I feel good

여름되면 꼭 생각나는 노래 청량한 느낌

@jaesang641
무더웠던 한 여름날, 그 여름의 태양만큼이나 뜨거운 열정으로
가득했던 대학축제, 어느덧 하늘은 붉게 물들고 때 맞춰 불어오는
솔의 눈 맛 바람, 낮동안 시원하게 흘렸던 젊은땀은 개운히 마르기 시작한다.
몸은 피곤하지만 눈은 반딧불이 와도 같았던 그 날.
