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.

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!

사랑에는 인종 , 성별 , 나이에 대한 차별이 없다..
서로 정말로 사랑한다면 그것이 무엇이든 사랑은 사랑이다..
@jameso4053
동의합니다!
@장동건-l8k
개인적으로 동성애는 달갑지 않아요 ㅠ.ㅠ
@탁민재-z1g
장동건 흠 그렇게 생각 하시는것도 이해해요. 하지만 그들이 저희에게 피해를 주지 않았다면 그들 역시 존중 받아야 마땅하지 않을까요..? 뭐 개인차가 있으니 강요하지는 않겠지만 ㅎㅎ 그들도 감정에 충실해 서로 ‘사랑’ 하고있으니까요. 저는 그렇게 생각해요ㅎㅎ 항상 행복하세요~
@hyunstack226
탁하 말씀을 정말 이쁘게 하시네요 ㅎㅎ 👍
