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.

hyukoh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
두고 왔던 편지 편지 때문인가
그렇게 늦지 않았지만
느려질 수 없는 걸음 때문인가
혼자서 혼자 떠들다가
도착해버린 목적지 때문인가
비행기 안이야
음악은 왜 이리
슬퍼 슬퍼
바깥보다 실내를 비추우는
검은 창가석에 앉아 나는
슬퍼
졸리우다 눈 뜨여진 건
못다 전한 마음 마음 때문인가
부치지 못한 건 아마도
그건 부도난 내 용기 때문인가
혼자서 혼자 떠들다가
도착해버린 목적지 때문인가
비행기 안이야
슬퍼 슬퍼
음악은 왜이리
슬퍼 슬퍼
바깥보다 실내를 비추우는
검은 창가석에 앉아 나는
슬퍼
The lyrics to hyukoh's song "지정석" depict the emotions of a person who is in transit, possibly in a taxi or on a plane. They are consumed by emotions and are questioning themselves and their decisions. The person wonders if they are in this situation due to a letter they left behind or the fact that they could not slow down their pace. They are also feeling sad and reflective, as they sit by the black window seat that reflects the indoor space more than the outside world. They are also conflicted about not being able to express their feelings and wondering if their lack of courage led to missed opportunities.
The song has a melancholic tone that highlights the uncertainties that come with transitions and travel. The person's thoughts are introspective and showcase how they are trying to make sense of their current situation. The repetition of the word "슬퍼" (sad) in the chorus emphasizes the person's emotions and adds to the overall mood of the song. The themes of missed opportunities, regret, and self-reflection are relatable and add to the appeal of the song.

졸리우다 눈 뜨여진 건
The reason why I'm struggling to keep my eyes open,
못다 전한 마음 마음 때문인가

부치지 못한 건 아마도
Maybe the reason why I couldn't send it,
그건 부도난 내 용기 때문인가
