Epik High and Jay Marie on working/ collaborating with Oh Hyuk (and Inwoo)
Epik High on working with Oh Hyuk (Herald Pop and Daily Sports). Translated by keurimjanee @ icaruswalks
Epik High recorded the second title track “Home is Far Away” with Oh Hyuk from the band Hyukoh. “Home is Far Away” is a song for people whose hearts are hurting from dreams they can’t fulfill. Through the song, which is good for the exhausted modern man to listen to on the way to or home from work, Oh Hyuk’s appealing, dark voice blends in perfectly with the atmosphere of an autumn night. Epik High poured their hearts and souls into casting Oh Hyuk for this featuring
This is because Oh Hyuk is known on the music scene for being difficult to get in touch with. Tablo said, “If you text Oh Hyuk, he’ll usually respond a week later” and continued “Oh Hyuk and Zion.T are both extremely hard to contact”. He joked, “Sometimes I want to learn their contact techniques. Because I think if I made a similar image for myself as Oh Hyuk and Zion.T, I probably wouldn’t even have to respond when Yang Hyunsuk contacts me”.
Tukutz revealed that he thought it would take a whole month to get in contact with Oh Hyuk. “Because he usually doesn’t reply very fast, I expected it to take a month. But miraculously, he responded just 5 minutes later. We went into the studio that very day” he said. Epik High revealed their wish to keep collaborating with many different artists from hereon out. “We tend to like unexpected combinations. We don’t like separating idols from artists,” Tablo said.

Tablo: As for “Home is Far Away”, we considered who could make the emotions in the song explode, and concluded that Oh Hyuk would be good. So we sent him the guide track and waited. He’s usually hard to get in touch with, but it didn’t take long until he responded. “Hyung, the song is really good. I’ll sing it for you.”

Jay Marie on working with Oh Hyuk and Inwoo (Rock ‘N Seoul)
In the fall of 2018 there was a tribute album released for the band Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter for their 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut album in which many artists participated including Jay Marie. It was released right after we saw Hyukoh perform in Los Angeles, CA U.S.A. I was so surprised when I read that Jay Marie not only participated in the tribute, but also collaborated with Oh Hyuk and Inwoo of Hyukoh. Jay Marie says, “I was also surprised! After I got the call and Oh Hyuk explained the project to me, I heard the song for the first time that night and then went to record it in the studio the very next day. I was a bit nervous, but thankfully the boys were so lovely and easy going and fun. I really enjoyed Hyukoh’s latest album so it was very cool to get to record something together. The tribute album, overall, was such a good experience and an honor to get to be a part of.”
