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.
Love Ya!

Kick our blanket, make it balloon
Hiding inside
I'll blow all of my love to your lips
Love this quiet moment
"Who would you save
If your best mate and me are drowning"
'Cause you're like a monk seal"
And you asked
"I love you, how much can you love me?"
Emm just without thousand words
And then I'll say
I love ya ah, I love ya ah
I love ya ah, I love ya ah
Don't be afraid yeah, I'll stay
Hide your little spot with my ring finger
Let's put a name
On each of your every single hair
Love this quiet moment
"Who would you save
If your best mate and me are drowning"
"I'll save my friend
'Cause you're like a monk seal"
You're like me
And I'm like you
What you're thinking right now
It's always the same as me
That's why I'm so in love
I love ya ah, I love ya ah
I love ya ah, I love ya ah
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na, wah wah wah wah wah

The song "Love Ya!" by hyukoh is a beautiful love song that is built upon the foundation of the singer's unwavering love for his partner. The lyrics of the song are an expression of the singer's devotion to his love interest and the lengths to which he is willing to go in order to make her feel loved and protected. The opening lines of the song speak of a feeling of safety and assurance that the singer's beloved will always be safe in his company. The image of the kick blanket symbolises a playful and joyous spirit, as the singer wishes to make his partner feel light and carefree.
The second verse of the song is particularly poignant as it speaks of a hypothetical scenario where the singer's friend and his love interest are both drowning, and he has to choose whom to save. When asked this question, the singer chooses his friend, likening his partner to a monk seal, an animal that he values and wants to protect. This moment in the song highlights the unique and deep connection that the singer shares with his beloved, where he feels a deep sense of concern and responsibility towards her.
The song is an ode to the beauty of love, and how it can turn even mundane moments into something special. The lyrics talk about hiding in quiet moments, loving their partner's every single hair, and discovering that they think alike. Ultimately, the singer professes his love in the chorus, repeating the phrase "I love ya" over and over, expressing his heartfelt commitment and dedication to the person he loves.

고등학교 생활이 눈물길이라 노래
서두에 나오는 'Don't be afraid.'
한 소절에 위로 받고 눈물진 적이
있었는데 입시 끝나고 어느날 이 노래
듣는데 노래 가사가 안 들리고 즐거운
멜로디에만 행복해하는 내 모습을
알아챘을 때 형에게 얼마나 고마운지..
오혁 형 노래들 덕분에 힘든시기를
이겨낼 수 있었던 것 같아. 고마워!

Don’t be afraid yeah, I’ll stay
두려워하지마, 내가 옆에 있어줄거니까
Kick our blanket, make it balloon
우리의 담요를 발로 차서, 풍선으로 만들어보자
Hiding inside
그 안에 숨어서
I’ll blow all of my love to your lips
나는 네 입술에 내 모든 사랑을 불어 넣을거야
Love this quiet moment
이 고요한 순간을 사랑하자 “Who would you save if your best mate and me are drowning”
"나랑 네 단짝친구가 물에 빠진다면 넌 누구를 구할거야?"
“I’ll save my friend cause you’re like a monk seal”
"난 내 단짝을 구할거야, 왜냐하면 너는 몽크 바다표범 같으니까"
And you asked “I love you, how much can you love me?”
그러고는 넌 물었어 난 너를 사랑해, 넌 나를 얼마나 사랑하니?"
Emm.. just without thousand words and then i’ll say
음.. 그냥 다른 천마디 말 필요없이 나는 말해줄래
I love ya I love ya
사랑해
Don’t be afraid yeah, I’ll stay
두려워하지마, 내가 옆에 있어줄거니까
Hide your little spot with my ring finger
내 약지에 네 작은 점을 숨겨보렴
Let’s put a name
이름을 지어줘보자

오늘 학교에서 친구들의 음악 소개 시간에 이 노래를 들었어요.
제목이 love가 들어가길래 또 그 흔한 청춘남녀의 사랑노래같은 거겠거니 하고 심드렁하게 뮤비를 지켜보고 있었습니다. 근데 아니더라고요.
부모와 자식 간의, 형제자매 간의, 남녀연인간의, 그리고 남남,여여 연인간의 다정하고 따뜻한 사랑이 모두 담겨있었어요. 그 모습을 보고 괜히 마음이 울컥해졌습니다.
저는 게이입니다. 중 1때부터 고 1인 지금까지 게이인 제 자신을 계속 숨겨왔고, 앞으로도 몇 년간 그럴겁니다.
세상에 나와 같은 존재는 전혀 보이지 않았습니다. 유튜브에 나오는 게이 커플들은 마치 허황된 이야기 속의 등장인물들 같았어요. 느낄 수는 있는데 만질수는 없는 그런 존재. 온 세상에서 버려진 느낌이었습니다. 그 고립감과 절망감에 우울증을 앓기도 했습니다.
그래서 이 노래와 뮤비가 더욱 애틋하게 전해졌던 것 같습니다.
지금 세상에 드러나는 사랑 뿐 아니라제가 소망하는 사랑의 모습까지 모두와 이야기할 수 있는 밝은 세상에서 보고 들을 수 있다는 사실이 저에게는 너무 감사했습니다.이젠 나도 혼자가 아닌 세상을 만들 수 있겠다는 희망이 생겼습니다.
고마워요. 덕분에 또 다른 희망을 품고 살아갈 수 있게 되었습니다.

인종 나이 성별 형태나 관계 상관없이 사랑 자체만 담은 거 같아서 멋지당
@kitapharside9377
그런걸 히피라고 한단다....너같은 저능한 새끼들이 쉽게 동화되지~~
다인종 사회는 혼돈 그 자체..... 제발 겉면만 쳐보고 쉽게 생각 하지말고.....저런 짓거리로부터 파생하는 여러 문제들을 갚게 생각해봐라./
단순하고 저능한 뇌는 자랑이 아니다... 저 똥영상대로 실천하고 싶으면 센프란시스콘나 시애틀로 이민 가도록~~
@yujem
Kita Pharside 유튜브 종특인가 전혀 싸울 일 없는데서 시비 거네ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅌㅌ 생각이 다르면 그냥 말하시거나 지나가시면 되지 왜 욕부터 박습니까 전 영상에서 말하는 분위기와 주제가 좋다는건데 대체 제 댓글의 어떤 부분에서 저렇게 생각하실 수 있는건가요 날카롭게 말고 부드럽게 대화하는 습관 들입시다 😊😊
@herrscher3155
