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.

Waiting is always here it never ends
But what are we waiting for
The end is here another beginning of the end, ooh
Beginning of the morning sun, set back to normal
Waiting is always here it never ends
But what are we waiting for
Beginning of the
Beginning of the
Morning sun set back to normal
Waiting is always here it never ends
But what are we waiting for
The end is here, another beginning of the end, ooh
Beginning of the
Beginning of the
Morning sun set back to normal
Waiting is always here it never ends
But what are we waiting for
The end is here, another beginning of the end
But what are we waiting for
The end is here, another beginning of the end, yeah
Beginning of the
The opening lines of hyukoh's song "Hey Sun" depict a sense of monotony, the idea that life is an endless cycle of waiting for something to happen. The recurring theme of waiting for something is a common human experience that often leads to feelings of frustration and stagnation. The lyrics could be interpreted as an exploration of the human experience of waiting for something better, while still being content with the present; a paradox that underlies many existential questions.
The lyrics, "The end is here, another beginning of the end" can be seen as a commentary on the cyclical nature of life, where the end of one era marks the beginning of another. The phrase "another beginning of the end" suggests that each new beginning is just another phase of the overarching cycle of life, where life's ultimate fate is death. With this interpretation, the waiting that the song alludes to takes on a new meaning; as it becomes an existential waiting for life to unravel itself.
In summary, "Hey Sun" by hyukoh is a song that explores human experiences of waiting and the cyclical nature of life. It also touches on existential questions that often arise as one goes through life, such as the meaning of life and the inevitability of death.
