He was born on October 5th, 1993.
His family moved to China when he was 5 months old, and he moved back to Korea in 2012 to attend university.
He attended the Korean International School in Beijing from 2006 to 2011, and he started studying at Hongik University’s Department of Fine Arts in 2012.
In 2012 he was in a band called Sandwich Delivery Club.
In 2013 he started making music and performing on his own under the name “hyukoh”.
One of his favourite musicians is Erlend Øye (who Hyukoh met and opened for!), whose face he had tattooed on his arm. He had that tattoo covered up with Paul McCartney a while ago, as he wasn’t happy with how it turned out.
He’s in a crew called Basecream.
He has a lot of tattoos, ie. China and the Korean peninsula on his chest, a heart with “hyukoh” in it on his leg, lamb skewers and a beer bottle on another leg, “20″ and a cross on one of his ears, etc..
Hyuk’s friend and stylist Kim Yohan has Hyuk tattooed on his arm.
He started raising plants after shooting Panda Bear in a place in Brooklyn where there were a lot of plants.
That’s what I can think of on the top of my head!
