Sunday, February 24, 2019
Cheers echoed the whole venue as fans gathered to see the one
and only K-indie icon, HYUKOH to start their performances. The four-piece who was
here in town successfully held their 2-hours show at KL LIVE on 20th
February 2019.
Malaysia is definitely no stranger to HYUKOH – the band held
their first sold-out show gig back in 2017, as a part of Urbanscapes line-up.
Fans were extremely lucky enough to see the band again as they brought “24: How
to Find True Love and Happiness Tour” to KL, which was organized by U-Mobile
and Upfront Arena.
Starting off with the opening act Lost Spaces, the local band
showed off their chill yet cool vibes as they played their first song. Fans
were immediately hooked with their quirky unique sounds as they started jamming
to their performance. The band had variety of different styles in their music,
leaving no moment of dullness to the audience.
After the first local act performance, the show slowly
transitioned as the lights started dimming and there was an EDM-like sound
started playing in the background. Fans went wild as HYUKOH appeared on stage,
performing their first intro song called 'SkyWorld'.

The stage was so hypnotizing, the lights changed to different neon colors whilst synchronizing to the beat of their songs, illuminating the whole
stage to fit in the mood.
The band continuously
performed couple of songs including ‘Wi lng, Wi lng,”, ‘Graduation’ and ‘Panda
Bear’. The vibes that they gave off were simply mysterious, but it can be sometimes
sad, and happy as well. hey were very honest
and vulnerable towards their performances, pouring their hearts out to the sea
of audience.

The fans were dancing and chanting to every lyric of their
songs, leaving them feeling overwhelmed by their love and passion for the
band’s music.
During the break between their songs, Oh Hyuk did mention
that there is a reason why he named his album ‘How To Find True Love and
Happiness’, he said
“Because I am still trying to find it, and I hope all of you
guys will find it too”
The show resumed as HYUKOH performed other of their songs
including, ‘Wanli’, ‘Goodbye Seoul’, and ‘Ohio'.
One of the highlights of the night was during ‘TOMBOY’ – the
fans started using their phones to flash to their lights, waving and singing
along to the song. Out of all the songs they performed, the singalong was the
loudest. It was definitely an emotional moment as Oh Hyuk’s soulful voice
simply pulled of their heartstrings with the melancholy performance. (Check out the video below!)

Fans were still eager for more of their songs, the band,
without any hesitation encored the crowd with their all-time hit songs ‘Tokyo
Inn’ and ‘Comes and Goes’.
It was definitely an intriguing experience attending HYUKOH’s
live show, especially witnessing how unique and emotionally honest their
performances are. With that being said, that is the reason why the band
received so much love and support from fans. Hopefully we will get to see more of HYUKOH music in the future real soon.
