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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm truly begging, sorry
For their sorrow
With my sorrow
Have you seen my old friends?
They told me "we're heading somewhere"
In their white robes
Hello my dear old friends
Is there any fine ending?
Every road leads to an end
Yes, we all know this will end
Through these years
Some rush off to the golden palace
In their white robes
Time and tide, through the wall
So sad I can't say that I'm sad
Talk cheap, smoking bitter
정말 미안합니다
Wind flows from the left remains in right
Just finished to build my wings
See you I'll be there
Just a day
Perhaps it's a hard day
Somehow it's one day
And I would say 미안
Just a day
Perhaps it's a hard day
Somehow it's one day
And I would say 미안
Dear my old friends
Who believe in their pray helps the sunrise
It embraces from coast to coast
Pours south to the north
Both ears are covered
"Oh, now you can hear yourself"
You are like that so am I
Stay beautiful through the wall
So sad I can't say that I'm sad
Talk cheap, smoking bitter
정말 미안합니다
Wind flows from the left remains in right
Just finished to build my wings
See you I'll be there
Just a day
Perhaps it's a hard day
Somehow it's one day
And I would say 미안
Just a day
Perhaps it's a hard day
Somehow it's one day
And I would say 미안
Just a day
Perhaps it's a hard day
Somehow it's one day
And I would say 미안
Just a day
Perhaps it's a hard day
Somehow it's one day
And I would say 미안
The lyrics to hyukoh's song "Gang Gang Schiele" express introspective reflections on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life. The opening lines of the song address the singer's old friends and expresses regret for causing them sorrow, which may suggest a sense of guilt or regret over past actions. The repeated phrase "Hello my dear old friends" underscores a sense of nostalgia and longing for a time that has passed. The lyrics go on to describe the friends as wearing white robes while heading somewhere over a fake iron wall, which could symbolize the illusory nature of progress and the futility of striving toward unreachable goals.
Despite the acknowledgement that all roads eventually lead to an end, the song maintains a hopeful sense of possibility, particularly in the line: "Just finished to build my wings/See you I'll be there." This line suggests the singer has worked to create something that will allow them to transcend the limitations of the physical world and be reunited with their old friends. The song concludes with the lyrics "Stay beautiful through the wall," which could be interpreted as encouraging the listener to maintain a positive outlook despite the obstacles inherent in life.
Overall, "Gang Gang Schiele" is a reflective meditation on the passage of time, the limitations of the physical world, and the importance of friendship and connection.

Hello my dear old friends
Greeting to long-time friends
I'm truly begging, sorry
Apologizing sincerely
For their sorrow
Acknowledging the pain of others
With my sorrow
Sharing one's own sadness
Have you seen my old friends?
Asking about the whereabouts of old friends
They told me "we're heading somewhere"
Old friends have a destination in mind
In their white robes
Dressed for a special occasion
Over the fake iron wall
Crossing a barrier, real or figurative
Is there any fine ending?
Questioning the outcome
Every road leads to an end
Knowing that everything comes to a close
Yes, we all know this will end
Recognizing the inevitability of endings
Through these years
Reflecting over the passage of time
Some rush off to the golden palace
People want luxury and success
Time and tide, through the wall
Time and circumstances create barriers
So sad I can't say that I'm sad
Feeling sadness without being able to express it
Talk cheap, smoking bitter
Empty words that do not bring comfort
Wind flows from the left remains in right
Change comes unexpectedly
Just finished to build my wings
Ready for a new chapter
See you I'll be there
Looking forward to the future
Perhaps it's a hard day
Admitting that some days are difficult
Somehow it's one day
Accepting that time keeps moving forward
And I would say 미안
Apologizing once more
Dear my old friends
Addressing friends with fondness
Who believe in their pray helps the sunrise
Having faith in spirituality
It embraces from coast to coast
The power of belief stretches far and wide
Pours south to the north
Spirituality crosses all borders
Both ears are covered
Blocking outside noise
"Oh, now you can hear yourself"
Listening to one's inner voice
You are like that so am I
Understanding that everyone has struggles
Stay beautiful through the wall
Hoping for inner strength and beauty despite barriers

Hello my dear old friends
안녕 내 오랜 친구들아
I'm truly begging sorry
정말로 빌게 미안해
For their sorrow
그들의 슬픔에 대해
With my sorrow
나의 슬픔과 함께
Have you seen my old friends
내 오랜 친구들을 본적이 있니?
They told me
그들은 내게 말했어
We're heading somewhere
"우리는 어딘가로 가고 있어"
In their white robes
그들의 흰 예복을 입고
Over the fake iron wall
가짜 철벽을 넘어서
Hello my dear old friends
안녕 내 오랜 친구들아
Is there any fine ending
거기에는 좋은 결말이 있니?
Every road leads to an end
모든 길은 끝으로 통해
Yes we all know this will end
그래 우리는 이게 끝날 걸 알아
Through these years
이 세월들을 통해
Some rush off to the golden palace
어떤 이들은 황금 궁전으로 황급히 떠나
In their white robes
그들의 흰 예복을 입고
Time and tide through the wall
시간과 물결, 벽을 통해
So sad I can't say that I'm sad
내가 슬프다고 말할 수 없다는게 너무 슬퍼
Talk cheap smoking bitter
쉽게 말하고, 쓰게 담배를 피며
정말 미안합니다
Wind flows from the left
바람은 왼쪽에서부터 넘어와
remains in right
오른쪽에서 머물지
Just finished to build my wings
방금 내 날개를 만들었어
See you I'll be there
나중에 보자 내가 거기로 갈게
Just a day
그저 하루
Perhpas it's a hard day
아마 힘든 날이었어
Somehow it's one day
어떻게든 그건 어느 하루겠지
And I would say ME-AN
그리고 나는 '미안'이라고 말 할거야
Dear my old friends
내 오랜 친구들아
Who believe in their pray
그들의 기도를 믿는 이들
helps the sunrise
태양을 뜨게 한다고
It embracees from coast to coast
그건 전국을 껴안고
Pours south to the north
남쪽부터 북쪽까지 쏟아붓지
Both ears are covered
양쪽 귀가 덮여있어
Oh now you can hear yourself
오 이제 너는 너 자신을 들을 수 있구나
You are like that so am I
너가 그렇듯 나도 그래
Stay beautiful through the wall
벽 너머에 아름닾게 머물러 줘
So sad I can't say that I'm sad
내가 슬프다고 말할 수 없다는게 너무 슬퍼
Talk cheap smoking bitter
쉽게 말하고, 쓰게 담배를 피며
정말 미안합니다
Wind flows from the left

I like listening to music all the time because when I listen back to the music I listened to when something great was happening 2 years ago, I could listen to it today and feel and remember the very same great moment.
Music is like the type travelling machine anyone can use
Only those who realize this gets to invent it and make it available for the ears of those who listen to them
And only those who listen can remember.
And of course I realized all of this while listening to this song

이 곡의 향기가 너무 짙게 남아 다시 찾아오게 되네요..

뮤비 컨셉이 강강술래의 의미를 두고 찍은거 같네요.. 모두 같이 함께하는..
뭔가 우리나라에서 느끼지 못하는 외국곡 느낌을 우리나라 정서와 자신의 정서를 잘 반영하는 그런느낌..
혁오 음악을 들을때마다 느껴요..
이젠 우리나라 젊은세대도 이렇게 힘빼고 무겁지 않으면서 멋들어지게 할 수있다는 생각을 하네요..^^
