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.

Don't you feel fear
Done telling people no need to say
I had to tell you
Why can't you hear
Anxiety surrounding me
I had to tell you
There's no big deal
So honestly not a thing to fix
My mama always told me
Don't waste a minute
Nirvana as how it is
And papa always told me
Vigilance vivid
Or you will loose what you got
Then they both tried to warn me
Closed door falls into silence
I'm drifted too far away
Then it went out of sight and no outline's left
Now time to go back
Ocean of tears
Before the sailing gonna turn back
Now it's the time to go back
My tongue can make or break
Before I slip and realize
Yeah, it's the time to go back
He hasn't figured it out
Guess I should have to go back
Maybe I'm bout to go to hell
Some things are roaming
It's so hard to pull it out
Choose which praying hands will be on top of the other hand
I look for my bible to shore
Think I left my bible 'bout around here somewhere
So I go through the table, under my bed to figure
No, I should better get down on my knees
Knocking on the heavens door, it maybe hell it could be
Focus on to focus I close my eyes
Then Oye yells
Choose which praying hands will be on top of the other hand
I look for my bible to shore
Think I left my bible 'bout around here somewhere
So I go through the table, under my bed to figure
No, I should better get down on my knees
Knocking on the heavens door it maybe hell it could be

The song "Jesus lived in a motel room" by Hyukoh appears to be an introspective dialogue about the artist's struggles with anxiety and his search for purpose and meaning. The repeated phrases like "I had to tell you" and "now it's time to go back" seem to signify a need to confront and address the internal turmoil. The artist's parents also make an appearance in the lyrics, with their advice about not wasting time and being vigilant. The line "choose which praying hands will be on top of the other hand" could signify indecision or uncertainty about one's faith and religious beliefs.
The lines "My mama always told me, Don't waste a minute, Nirvana as how it is" and "Think I left my bible 'bout around here somewhere" suggest a spiritual quest, with the artist trying to reconcile his faith with his struggles. The phrase "Jesus lived in a motel room" could also be interpreted as a commentary on the precariousness of modern life and the struggle for meaning in a world that feels impermanent and unstable. Overall, the song seems to be a meditative exploration of the intersection between anxiety, faith, and the search for purpose in a chaotic world.
