Artistry[]

Image and artistry[]

The members are heavily involved in the development of their concepts and their "commitment to concept is especially impressive with live performances of songs".[117] Micah Levin Isla from The Philippine Star commented, "You can be someone who'll never be truly on board with this whole K-Pop craze. But there's something about VIXX that's really fascinating and intriguing. Their music and appeal have this lingering effect."[118] VIXX has cemented a "niche in the theatrical side of K-pop" with performances that follow a storyline that is carefully put together.[117] In a review of one of their concerts, journalist Park Jung Sun commented, "They presented live performances which broke prejudices people have towards idols. VIXX presented a musical-like stage as coming off from the-usual-concert which displays singing and dancing. VIXX led their fans to UTOPIA that they constructed".[119]

Lyrics and musical style[]

With many of their releases, VIXX has tackled themes such as hope, dreams, falling madly in love with a girl although it hurts, such in the songs "On and On" (Korean다칠 준비가 돼 있어), which literally translates into "I'm Ready to Get Hurt", "Voodoo Doll" and "Chained Up"; breaking up with their lovers "Love Equation", "Don't Want to Be An Idol"'; generally sad or dark love songs, with the themes of obsession and insanity such as the songs "Hyde" and "G.R.8.U"; and emotional breakdown in "Error" and the timelessness of love in "Eternity". Most, if not all of their songs, play on the depth of raw human emotion.[120] VIXX plays an active role producing their music, with all members participating in the ideas and concepts.[121][122] Majority of the members have an active role in their music. Ravi, Leo, Hyuk and most recently N and Ken play an active role in composition and lyric-writing of their songs.[123][124]
