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.

The lyrics of the song "Help" by hyukoh reflect a sense of loneliness and a desire for guidance. The first line, "suddenly they're all disappeared, take a look and no one is there," seems to imply a feeling of abandonment or isolation. The singer is left alone with their thoughts and emotions ("sun is out but my mind is blind"), reaching out to a higher power for comfort and assurance ("Hey Jesus there? Can you hear me?").
The repeated lines "never gonna let us down" can be interpreted as a message of hope and faith that whoever or whatever the singer is turning to will not abandon them, despite their feelings of being lost or adrift. There is a sense of desperation in the repetition, as if the singer is clinging to this hope even as they question whether it is real.
Overall, the song carries a powerful message of vulnerability, loneliness, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of uncertainty.

Take a look and no one is there
When I look around, I see no one in sight
Finally I am free
The absence of people has given me a sense of freedom
Sun is out but my mind is blind
Despite the bright sun, I am unable to think clearly
Hey Jesus there?
I call out to Jesus, wondering if he is there to help me
Can you hear me?
I implore Jesus to listen to me as I am lost
I am lost
I feel lost and uncertain about the future
He is never gonna let us down

Never gonna let us down
Reiterating the belief that Jesus is a dependable source of help and support

Every album they put out gets better and better. I like how he sings in English more now, as well as mandarin and Korean even though I don’t understand either

앨범 분위기가 편안하고 따뜻해서 모든 수록곡을 무한 반복해서 틀고 낮잠을 자곤 했어요. 낮잠을 자지 않더라도 한가로움을 느끼고 싶으면 종종 이 앨범을 찾아 듣습니다. 특히 마지막 곡 New Born은 갈수록 마음에 들어요. 마치 우주를 유영하는 거 같아요.
