@@JeffAvenue Ravi started his own label called GROOVL1N last year. The artists he has under his label right now are: Cold Bay, Xydo, and Chillin Homie. He recently had a comeback with his song "Paradise" featuring former member of Wanna One Ha Sungwoon. The first VIXX sub-unit was VIXX LR and it consists of Ravi and Leo. The two comebacks of VIXX LR so far are "Beautiful Liar" and "Whisper". Is it okay that I commented this? Ravi is one of my favorite kpop idols.
if we’re talking abt shangri-la, we can’t leave out their performance in mbc gayo daejejeon that makes this whole song viral in korea lol. also pls check out more vixx content, the king of concept!!!
I still remember how criminally unnoticed this comeback went, and they ended promotions early. Then they performed at the MBC Music Festival and it went viral, and they got to go back to promoting it again because people were paying it the proper attention finally (: this is by far my favorite VIXX comeback. Jeff, you really need to see some of N’s solo dance videos, they are AMAZING. I don’t remember my favorite one’s name, I need to go search for it lol The song I was thinking about is called 인연, which I believe means Destiny or Fate. That one, and Last Fantasia are both absolutely amazing
I think it’s also good to note that VIXX is pretty tall as a collective lol. The shortest members are 5’11’’ and tallest is 6’1’’ possibly 6’2’’ now. They’re literally 80% legs 😂😂 Also VIXX in general have been ahead of their time to be completely honest lol
Yeeees!! He needs to react to Love me do!! Also there are so many funny videos of music shows etc. where VIXX look like giants next to the other groups :'D
Finally!!! Btw Vixx is also known as concept kings. Every comeback just have different flavor to it. Please react to their song SCENTIST, VOODOO DOLL, DYNAMITE , CHAINED UP, and FANTASY.
VIXX performed Shangri-la for the International Olympic Committee at the request of the organizers because the concept used a lot of traditional instruments and the costumes were modernized versions of hanbok! VIXX fun facts: They are the Kings of Concepts. From their 3rd comeback on, all members chose the concepts themselves and had to agree unanimously on the concept. This one was Hongbin's idea. Their leader, N, is an INCREDIBLE dancer and has a bunch of really incredible solos he choreographed himself that are definitely worth checking out. VIXX are also all trees. N is the shortest at 5'11"; the youngest Hyuk is the tallest, at 6'4" or so (he was 16 when they debuted so official profiles had a hard time keep up with his growth, he's huge now.) Because they're so tall, they said they broke a TON of the fans during practices by accidentally smacking them against the ceiling. Things to check out: Chained Up (light BDSM concept of "love slaves"), Fantasy (first in a 3 part concept about Greek gods), Dynamite (also part of the greek god series), Error (cyborg concept, very dynamic performances!) and The Closer (incredible groove and FLOOR WORK!) And for N, literally all his performances are incredible, but my favorites are Passionate Tango (dance practice here ruclips.net/video/tlDp9shoiJ8/видео.html and performance here ruclips.net/video/RHuF5cQw1-U/видео.html) Fate (ruclips.net/video/_fGAXrexmJk/видео.html) and Lost Fantasia (ruclips.net/video/fPCDnABhqCI/видео.html) AND N IS COMING BACK FROM THE ARMY IN OCTOBER!!! We have missed him.
Apart from groups that came out of big companies (like EXO for example), there are many others like VIXX , Infinite or B.A.P that shaped kpop around 2010. It's a pity for newer kpop fans not to know them, because they had a great influence upon younger groups that came out after them. Thank you for checking them, I'm sure you'll find them interesting and impressive for how they set trends. Also N (the leader of the group) made a beautiful performance video of the song "인연" (Fate), it's graceful and flowy and you'd definitely like it!
I can't recommend enough VIXX's live stage of their song Love Me Do on Star Show 360. It's not a title track & has no MV, but I think that particular stage is a lot of fans favorite live stage~~~ plus, it hits on things you have pin-pointed before: - water - floor work - partner work in boy groups (which VIXX honestly throws into just about every one of their choreos~) & there's a solo by their main dancer N, who I think is one of the best dancers in kpop, especially in ballet/contemporary style^.^ But if, for now, you wanted to stick to stuff with MVs & dance practices, my vote would be for Error next~ if you do, they actually have two dance practices for Error: the "real" one + the "Errored" one~~~ *OR* Chained Up (which was my first comeback as a fan of VIXX); its infamous~~~^.^
Yesss, VIXX ❤️❤️ They were the reason I got into kpop 🥰 Also, until now there are just 3 dance performances that literally made me cry and one of them was N's solo performance called 인연. Just his moves along with his facial expressions.. It wasn't even sad or anything, it was rather powerful and delicate at some parts, but I felt so overwhelmed that I just cried 😅 (N is the leader of VIXX, he's the one who did that mini solo in MV at 9:07, you said it was beautiful ❤️). Also a fun fact, N had a dance performance with Jimin from BTS and a couple of other idols like Mina and Momo from Twice. It was a modern dance performance and N & Jimin were the only male dancers ☺️ It was during SBS Gayo Daejun 2016 - for the opening the artists did an amazing show. It started with the Classic Performance (a few idols who were really trained in that were playing piano and violins), then it was Modern Dance Performance with idols trained in modern dance or ballet, the next one was Rock Performance with the members of various rock bands like DAY6, then it was the Street Dance Performance with for example Ten from NCT, Yugyeom and Jinyoung from GOT7, Lisa from Blackpink, Seulgi from Red Velvet.., then Taemin had his solo, because he's Taemin lol, and at the end the Modern Dance Team and the Street Dance Team did a dance together 😁🥰 And all of that lasted for just like 7-8 minutes, so I recommend you to check it out. It's interesting and so cool, even if they probably didn't have a long time to practice together.
Finally! I have been waiting for a VIXX reaction!! Please react to some of their other songs too. Voodoo Doll, Fantasy, Chained Up, The Closer, Error, Eternity, Scentist, etc
Jeff finally reacting to the Concept Kings of Kpop ;u; You should go and react to their MBC Gayo Daejun performance of this. It went viral because it was a beautiful performance!
VIXX actually did a live performance on stage with one of those square pools of water, for their song Love Me Do. It’s my favorite live performance of theirs ever, it’s so cool. And it’s also my favorite song by them lol it’s not a title track though
VIXX!! My ults!! Hakyeon is lireally king of contemporary dance and VIXX in general are really theatrical when performing so you may not see a lot of synchronization
YES VIXX!!! Please also react to their song Fantasy, Chained Up, Scentist just ALL OF THEIR SONGS lol. But seriously, thank you so much for checking them out :))
VIXX are the kings of story based choreos - its not as evident here but the peak of this I think is Error. Its a timeless classic, and one of the iconic emotional music videos (its a little cheesy since its old, but the core is still strong). Also if you want a laugh, google "vixx tall" to see absurd pics of them towering over other idols haha
YES vixx kings! please do more of vixx they are amazing. literally the concept kings, react to chained up, fantasy, voodoo doll, scentist, and basically everything from "on and on" onwards
VIXX is my all-time favourite group I stan them soooo hard and im so grateful that you're watching them. There aren't enough people who knows and react to them❤❤❤❤
Vixx are Kings. This is my favorite song from them. When I first watched one of their mvs I was obsessed. I know I'm weird so don't judge me, but their concepts are right up my alley. Vixx is probably the reason why I have a thing for dark concepts, creepy things, and chokers 😶😶.
You read my mind or what? I few days i go i was thinking "it will be great if Jeff react to this song, but VIXX are not that knowing as they were before i hope someday he react to this" BOY, thank you so much. This was my firts song of them and had good memories.
The concept of Shangri-La is a kind of god. The background is where peach flowers are in full bloom. Peach flowers do not appear in the music video, which is the paradox of the song toward the woman in the dream. The costume is 'Hanbok', a traditional Korean costume. I've modernized it with good dance skills. The costumes shown during the opening ceremony of the 2018 IOC show the Hanbok better. I'm worried if my words will be delivered well using a translator. And there are many better songs by VIXX such as 'desperate' and 'fantasy'. I recommend cross-editing videos because he is a famous singer for his facial expressions on stage. If you search '교차편집' in Korean, there are more videos.
I am so glad you were able to put it into context and give them credit for "being ahead of their time". The oriental style was not popular back then in terms of music, choreo or visuals. VIXX always brought something new to pop with every single comeback and they really deserve appreciation for that. This performance even went viral in Korea and they were invited to perform this for one of the Olympic events in front of the president. I recommend you watch the dingo live of this performance since you seem to enjoy the vocals as well. And choreo wise I recommend Hyde and voodoo doll but you have to read the lyrics before watching the dance practice. Lastly, (sorry its so long I really can't help it when it's about vixx lol) thank you for reacting to vixx :)
VIXX are iconic performers! A.C.E actually did a cover of one of their songs on a live stage a few months ago! Check out A.C.E doing On And On, they learned the choreo + got all the costuming together in 3 days, its absolutely spectacular.
Omg I've never been this happy before! This brought back a lot of memories esp when I am so obsessed with Leo lmao. I'm telling you Jeff, VIXX consists of such good artists and there are actors too and you should def react to some of their legendary songs such as *Error, Fantasy, Dynamite and who wouldn't forget their body rolls in Eternity.* They have such cool concepts and they are so talented! *STAN VIXX yeorobun!*
I'm quite excited that you finally found this group, the Concept King VIXX! This song particularly has been one of VIXX's many defining songs. Shangrila tells a story about a "paradise" where everything is full of beauty, and it is pictured in a Korean sense, with Korean traditional clothes (it's modernized hanbok!), paper fan, and traditional instrument. FYI, the lyrics are all in full Korean without any english / loan words in it! I agree with you that this song even now is still such a great song, but then again I would argue that most of their songs are timeless. I still can't stop being amazed at their works. Also you have to like N (the leader, the main dancer)! He dances contemporary too and there is this one stage where he and other idol dancers including Jimin dance contemporary in a music festival! N's solo performance (Fate especially) is also iconic, you should check that out. VIXX in general are such a good performers, and they have two very strong main vocalists that they utilize really well. They are also concept kings, and they go all out with their concept. You can find their lyrics being portrayed in their dance, mvs, costumes, and even their merchandise. I'm probably talking too much by now but really, VIXX are awesome. Thank you for checking them out!
aaa i wasn't expecting a vixx reaction!! they're my ults and have a whole lot of amazing songs to check out. i've already seen people recommending fantasy and scentist but let me add some more - dynamite - the closer - voodoo doll (old but iconic)
I'm glad to see that there are still many starlight here, i know that most of us are multis but we still support VIXX nonetheless. I'm don't usually get into dancers that much but VIXX' N, SVT's Dino & Taemin are really good. i'm waiting for the Fantasy reaction.
This reaction video made me cry 😭 I’ve been a starlight aince the beginning and waiting for your fave artists to come back is really not easy, Thank You Jeff for reacting to my kings 🥰
VIXX are truly concept kings. Their choreography always has so much storytelling and fit their concepts so well, especially their older songs like Error and Voodoo Doll. Please check those out too!
5:03 fun fact: Ravi is friends with of Kai and they usually interact a lot irl and on instagram! Like, going on vacation together for example. It's so cute
i was waiting for when you'd react to them! they're such amazing dancers! whenever you have time you should react to their leader's dance videos. his name is N and he's an amazing dancer. i'm pretty sure you've heard of Verivery from RTK and seen them perform but i'd definitely recommend reacting to them because they're very synchronized dancers
Yay VIXX 😭 I get so happy when I see people react to VIXX... they're my ult of ults so I'm probably biased, but they're so special. I've always loved their choreography's too, so I'm glad to see a dancers perspective on it!
This dance practice is literally the most satisfying thing ever. I watch it all the time because I just love hearing all of the fans opening and closing in sync
btw, i love shangri-la remix on gayo daejun. their dance intro and costume were awesome!! tbh i love their live performance better since we can see their expression and dance better
omg when he said it was three years ago holy shit i cant believe it was that long ago. but yes vixx!! they are known for their concepts and i also think theyre vocally one of the strongest groups in kpop. my favorite choreo by them that i think is the best and cleanest is dynamite (which was the first part of their conception trilogy that they had in 2016). thanks for the reaction! a lot of people dont react to vixx anymore cause they arent active since half of them are in the military 😔
oh my god I’m actually gonna cry.. vixx was one of the first groups I really got into and I wasn’t expecting you to react to them. If you can, you should do fantasy and chained up.
Now... you need to react more from them cause you will suprised how they can pull many concept. I do suggest you to watch Error, Eternity, Chained up and Voodoo doll because these songs really have their uniqueness in it .
Omg thank you. I have been a long time starlight and miss these babies. N is my favorite and he is such a good dancer and he knows how to work those facial expressions. Another prop song they did is Voodoo Doll (they pass one object around). A lot of their other dances are kind of story based, they are not called concept kings for nothing, where they have even the smallest details in the dance. For example their song Scentist (story about making the perfect perfume) they have quick small details of them smelling their wrist like you would when testing perfume.
As someone who composes music, while I do see why you would want more cry within the "yah" part. It wouldn't be necessary because it would serve as more of a distraction and be repetitive from the main chorus as there is a lot of emotion there. That was just meant to be more of a build up to the main vocals.
i remember my first vixx comeback was chained up and imagine how shocked i was when i realized they were -sex- slaves and the physical album came with a signed contract saying that you own them lol
I think VIXX's best quality is their POWER VOCALS and their LIVE SINGING and choreo can rival other dance-based groups at their time!! Nowadays groups are more focused on dance rather than singing, so I still think VIXX is the bestttt
Love to see more of VIXX reactions soon cuz they deserve attention. Mark my words: after their military service they will turn k-pop upside down again😁
vixx have never been known as the most technically impressive dancers despite the raw talents of hakyeon for example, but they're really really good regardless. ive always been a firm believer that they've always put the most effort into making up for what they may lack with hard work and creativity and no choreography better represents that than shangri la i think which is why it delights me so much to see that you think its impressive too. vixx work incredibly well as a unit, their attention to detail and passion makes them unlike anyone else.
Vixx have concept crowns for a reason. This isn’t a simple love song it’s about finding shangri-la - almost like the mythological search for El Dorado - it’s a place where everything comes together in harmony. In the mv they represent elements. Hakyeon is the air and scent, Leo is the moon and the tides, Ken is water and it’s source, Ravi is the riches like metals and minerals, Hongbin is the flowers and plants, hyuk is the animals. All coming together in this ‘perfect place’ they create Shangri-la. This song gained then recognition from President Moon and they performed this song in tradition inspired costumes at the 2018 olympics committee and hakyeon and Leo even ran with the torch relay. This was seen as a proud representation of South Korean culture in modern form. The choreography hasn’t changed since they first learned it and I believe this was done by husband &wife dancers/choreographers Keone & Mari who also did Fantasy and the fans were added by Yu Jung Wan. Hakyeon is a traditionally trained dancer and is recognised within that dance as having developed standards that are now taught to new students. He’s also choreographed and performed solo performances ‘Fate’ is the most recognised one which promotes his traditional style the most with modern flair. There is also a stage where Hakyeon danced with Jimin as he is a respected dancer and has spread similarly through a lot of dance styles. There are so many songs worth hearing mvs that give them the concept kings crown include: voodoo doll, hyde & Gr8U, dynamite, closer, scentist, chained up, Fantasy, Eternity, Error and much more. Yes They do a live dance on water for Love Me Do and it like most of their work deserves more and better recognition. They were firsts in arguing with tv networks to show the coloured lenses during live stages and I highly reccomend watching the 2018/19 new year possession and resurrection performances they did onstage as priests loosing a battle for their souls and vampires born anew. Ravi who is the 3rd top copyrighted composer in kpop, CEO of his own Label and still creates his own content as well as participating in VIXX. He also does tv shows, radio and much more. Hakyeon just got out of military start of October, Leo is still in civil service till 2022, Ken just started his military and Hongbin started his enlistment early after felt had to leave the group following a hate campaign from antis, Hyuk is solo singing and acting in kdramas while others are in service. Please watch more vixx and appreciate them. 🌟💙🌌
You should check shangri la remix live performance at mbc gayo daejun it is such a very beautiful and aesthetic stage...and guess what they gained recognized for that stage in south korea
You really need to watch the video where ACE did one of their songs on stage. it is sooooooo good. since i know you are a fan of ACE, you would enjoy it. Its really interesting to see the original and then see them do it. good stuff. visually, VIXX is just stunning in this video. I had to rewatch it .
Ou my Kings. I miss them so much. Half of them are at military right now: N, Leo and Ken. Ravi and Hongbin will go in 2021 and Hyuk in 2022. While N and Leo should come back in 2021, if I´m not mistaking the years. But to the point, thank you for reacting to their song, dance and mv.
I always gravitate towards N when I watch their dancer performance/practices. He’s just so elegant when he dances. He’s on my top list of favorite kpop dancers but he’s so underrated. Please check out his solo dance performance he gifted fans before going to the military
yes!!!!! vixx was one of my first groups i got in to back in 2012!!! their concepts and performances are always so amazing!! please pleeease react to more vixx -chained up -fantasy -scentist (not scientist lol) -closer
Vixx are The Concept Kings (and no I'm not exaggerating), and they go completely full out on _everything._ I absolutely adore them so much.
Yeah I heard about this! When Ravi? Went on RTK, everyone was telling about them 😁
I always love VIXX's concepts, the best was Voodoo Doll with that creepy style, the 2nd is Error, and those choreos... 💖💖
@@JeffAvenue Ravi started his own label called GROOVL1N last year. The artists he has under his label right now are: Cold Bay, Xydo, and Chillin Homie. He recently had a comeback with his song "Paradise" featuring former member of Wanna One Ha Sungwoon. The first VIXX sub-unit was VIXX LR and it consists of Ravi and Leo. The two comebacks of VIXX LR so far are "Beautiful Liar" and "Whisper". Is it okay that I commented this? Ravi is one of my favorite kpop idols.
Jeff Avenue glad you remembered it
Fun fact: One of the members, Hongbin, is actually left handed so he had to hold the fan with his non-dominant hand with this choreo.
I'm a leftie too and I can only imagine how much he has to practice to pull it off
I'm right handed and my left hand is sooooooo useless i can't hold anything straight so i can totally relate
Leo is also left handed :)
@@SapphireKatie oh yeah, i forgot that he's ambidextrous
Oh shit that’s hard!! Can be done with practice obviously but def easier with your dominant hand
if we’re talking abt shangri-la, we can’t leave out their performance in mbc gayo daejejeon that makes this whole song viral in korea lol. also pls check out more vixx content, the king of concept!!!
Also the dingo little acapella type of performance, Just them and their beautiful voices
Vixx ?? well it seems Jeff is educating himself hehe this song is one of the most beautiful songs in kpop
Yes! I'm so glad he's getting into more second gen kpop!
Haha yes I feel more cultured than yesterday! More to learn!
@@tinyfanboy they are 3rd gen along with exo, they debuted in 2012 ...
both groups started the 3rd gen hehe
a dreamer ahh okay, I've always just thought of them as second gen for some reason 😂
@@JeffAvenue 2012 was a wonderful year to Kpop, EXO-VIXX-BTOB-NU'EST they all debut that year and they're top groups. You should check some of them
I still remember how criminally unnoticed this comeback went, and they ended promotions early.

The song I was thinking about is called 인연, which I believe means Destiny or Fate. That one, and Last Fantasia are both absolutely amazing
yes and im so mad at the time coz the album is so dope :((
N solo dancing to Havana and Cell Block Tango is my religion
oh yes please jeff likes contemporary, he definitely needs to see N's solo dances cz he's just that good
Yes!! I love his solo dance videos!
Yes! It took so long for this to get the recognition it deserved!
Also I have been requesting solo N performance since he started this
I think it’s also good to note that VIXX is pretty tall as a collective lol. The shortest members are 5’11’’ and tallest is 6’1’’ possibly 6’2’’ now. They’re literally 80% legs 😂😂
Also VIXX in general have been ahead of their time to be completely honest lol
Nothing highlights that 80% legs like the Love Me Do live stages^.^
Torie Carter YES. That is all lol
Yeeees!! He needs to react to Love me do!!
Also there are so many funny videos of music shows etc. where VIXX look like giants next to the other groups :'D
@@spacehuhn19 Not to mention in some of their full makeup looks^.^
@@toriecarter2711 lol I think the best performance of Love Me Do was definitely the *Water* Me Do version
Even tho Hyuk is my bias, my eyes always travel to N when he dances. He's just so elegant with it. Truly one of the most underrated dancers in Kpop.
Same, just with Leo as bias ;)
I feel like N traps you with his gaze he does. I am a Hyuk bias as well, but damn umma N know how to work it.
I agree - I can never take my eyes off him when I watch their dance practices!
Hyuk is my bias as well 💕
Kpop owes vixx so much , they and their team literally brought so much to the genre. I will patiently wait for them
OMG!!! you should watch N's (VIXX's leader) "인연" it's really good!! ;;
Ariadne yess
Yes! I really wanted to see him react to N, I always enjoy N's dancing but since I know nothing about dance I really wonder what he has to say!!
ooh and also their "voodoo doll" TT it's kinda creepy tho!! but they aren't called concept kings for nothing!!
@@inuyashaxkagome345 yesssss
Yess!!!
Finally!!! Btw Vixx is also known as concept kings. Every comeback just have different flavor to it. Please react to their song SCENTIST, VOODOO DOLL, DYNAMITE , CHAINED UP, and FANTASY.
YES YES YES i cannot stress those reaction enough especially chained up and voodoo doll
And Error too~~~~ 😊
Juliana Sánchez Oh My yeahhhhhh totally forgot that. So dramatic but im living for it HAHAHAHHA
@@kristinegarcia6993 iconic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and On and On, do you remember that song?
Juliana Sánchez welppp Hahahahaha thats old kpop for you AHHAHAHA but it is fun tho. I miss old kpop MV since you can see the drama literally hahaha
Oh Jeff, please react to Vixx's "Fantasy"! I think you'd honestly lose your shit over the choreo
Added!
I think everything Vixx does is worth watching, it is sooo good
This concept was pure elegance. Boy groups should do more things like this, the agry/angsty boy concept is getting boring.
SHINeexokpop definitely
Oh yes I love me this kind of concept!

I can't recommend enough VIXX's live stage of their song Love Me Do on Star Show 360. It's not a title track & has no MV, but I think that particular stage is a lot of fans favorite live stage~~~ plus, it hits on things you have pin-pointed before:
- water
- floor work
- partner work in boy groups (which VIXX honestly throws into just about every one of their choreos~)
& there's a solo by their main dancer N, who I think is one of the best dancers in kpop, especially in ballet/contemporary style^.^
But if, for now, you wanted to stick to stuff with MVs & dance practices, my vote would be for Error next~ if you do, they actually have two dance practices for Error: the "real" one + the "Errored" one~~~ *OR* Chained Up (which was my first comeback as a fan of VIXX); its infamous~~~^.^
Will add! Thank u!
Yesss I was thinking of Love Me Do when he mentioned the water choreo! Honestly my favorite live stae of theirs.
Im so happy to see you react to vixx! og concept kings! Fun fact: as Shangri-la has a traditional concept, the lyrics are all Korean!
VIXX are absolutely legendary so thank you for reacting to them!!!!
Yesss, VIXX ❤️❤️ They were the reason I got into kpop 🥰
Also, until now there are just 3 dance performances that literally made me cry and one of them was N's solo performance called 인연. Just his moves along with his facial expressions.. It wasn't even sad or anything, it was rather powerful and delicate at some parts, but I felt so overwhelmed that I just cried 😅 (N is the leader of VIXX, he's the one who did that mini solo in MV at 9:07, you said it was beautiful ❤️).

YAY VIXX
I was just watching Hyuk's scream :)
N is still one of the best dancers in kpop, he has his own dance style, sadly he's not that popular among fans nowadays:(
Why?
VIXX are the kings of story based choreos - its not as evident here but the peak of this I think is Error. Its a timeless classic, and one of the iconic emotional music videos (its a little cheesy since its old, but the core is still strong). Also if you want a laugh, google "vixx tall" to see absurd pics of them towering over other idols haha
YES vixx kings! please do more of vixx they are amazing. literally the concept kings, react to chained up, fantasy, voodoo doll, scentist, and basically everything from "on and on" onwards
VIXX is my all-time favourite group I stan them soooo hard and im so grateful that you're watching them. There aren't enough people who knows and react to them❤❤❤❤
Vixx are Kings. This is my favorite song from them. When I first watched one of their mvs I was obsessed. I know I'm weird so don't judge me, but their concepts are right up my alley. Vixx is probably the reason why I have a thing for dark concepts, creepy things, and chokers 😶😶.
You read my mind or what?
I few days i go i was thinking "it will be great if Jeff react to this song, but VIXX are not that knowing as they were before i hope someday he react to this"
BOY, thank you so much. This was my firts song of them and had good memories.
This is the most beautiful MV ever. No one can change my mind
The concept of Shangri-La is a kind of god. The background is where peach flowers are in full bloom. Peach flowers do not appear in the music video, which is the paradox of the song toward the woman in the dream. The costume is 'Hanbok', a traditional Korean costume. I've modernized it with good dance skills. The costumes shown during the opening ceremony of the 2018 IOC show the Hanbok better. I'm worried if my words will be delivered well using a translator. And there are many better songs by VIXX such as 'desperate' and 'fantasy'. I recommend cross-editing videos because he is a famous singer for his facial expressions on stage. If you search '교차편집' in Korean, there are more videos.
Yes, VIXX are the OGs on a lot of things
I am so glad you were able to put it into context and give them credit for "being ahead of their time". The oriental style was not popular back then in terms of music, choreo or visuals. VIXX always brought something new to pop with every single comeback and they really deserve appreciation for that. This performance even went viral in Korea and they were invited to perform this for one of the Olympic events in front of the president.
I recommend you watch the dingo live of this performance since you seem to enjoy the vocals as well. And choreo wise I recommend Hyde and voodoo doll but you have to read the lyrics before watching the dance practice.
Lastly, (sorry its so long I really can't help it when it's about vixx lol) thank you for reacting to vixx :)
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A VIXX REACTION. THANK YOU JEFF
Finally you react to these tall kings, the concept king vixx, they already try every concept, from gore, cute, cultural etc
Their live performance in MBC music festival 2017 was even more beautiful
do you know how long,,, how LONG i've been waiting for someone to react to this dance practice??? ty for the food mr. avenue
I'm so happy you reacted to Vixx, they are incredible! I highly recommend checking out Fantasy, Chained Up, Dynamite, and Voodoo!
OMG VIXX!!!
My golden boys and concept kings!
Than you for reacting to them.
I do recommend their older songs like Voodoo doll or Error ❤️
Omg I literally just watched their dance practice for Shangri La and I saw your video
VIXX are iconic performers!
A.C.E actually did a cover of one of their songs on a live stage a few months ago! Check out A.C.E doing On And On, they learned the choreo + got all the costuming together in 3 days, its absolutely spectacular.
Ah!! There's the live stage and a dance practice for it as well!
Omg I've never been this happy before! This brought back a lot of memories esp when I am so obsessed with Leo lmao. I'm telling you Jeff, VIXX consists of such good artists and there are actors too and you should def react to some of their legendary songs such as *Error, Fantasy, Dynamite and who wouldn't forget their body rolls in Eternity.* They have such cool concepts and they are so talented!
*STAN VIXX yeorobun!*
I'm quite excited that you finally found this group, the Concept King VIXX! This song particularly has been one of VIXX's many defining songs. Shangrila tells a story about a "paradise" where everything is full of beauty, and it is pictured in a Korean sense, with Korean traditional clothes (it's modernized hanbok!), paper fan, and traditional instrument. FYI, the lyrics are all in full Korean without any english / loan words in it!
I agree with you that this song even now is still such a great song, but then again I would argue that most of their songs are timeless. I still can't stop being amazed at their works.
Also you have to like N (the leader, the main dancer)! He dances contemporary too and there is this one stage where he and other idol dancers including Jimin dance contemporary in a music festival! N's solo performance (Fate especially) is also iconic, you should check that out.
VIXX in general are such a good performers, and they have two very strong main vocalists that they utilize really well. They are also concept kings, and they go all out with their concept. You can find their lyrics being portrayed in their dance, mvs, costumes, and even their merchandise.
I'm probably talking too much by now but really, VIXX are awesome. Thank you for checking them out!
from what i know, one of the member N was trained in ballet and you can definitely see the difference in his moves🤩
omg!! thank you so much for finally reacting to my top favorite boy group!! thank you jeff for your hard work! ❤️
aaa i wasn't expecting a vixx reaction!! they're my ults and have a whole lot of amazing songs to check out. i've already seen people recommending fantasy and scentist but let me add some more
- dynamite
- the closer
- voodoo doll (old but iconic)
I'm glad to see that there are still many starlight here, i know that most of us are multis but we still support VIXX nonetheless.
I'm don't usually get into dancers that much but VIXX' N, SVT's Dino & Taemin are really good. i'm waiting for the Fantasy reaction.
This is one of my favorite kpop concepts!!
Omg omg its vixx I- my starlight heart is shining😭💕
I've been dying to see you're opinion/analysis of vixx I'm so happy :')
This reaction video made me cry 😭 I’ve been a starlight aince the beginning and waiting for your fave artists to come back is really not easy, Thank You Jeff for reacting to my kings 🥰
VIXX are truly concept kings. Their choreography always has so much storytelling and fit their concepts so well, especially their older songs like Error and Voodoo Doll. Please check those out too!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR VIXX OH MY GOOOOD its the best group im screaming
OHMYGOD THE CONCEPT KINGS!!
5:03 fun fact: Ravi is friends with of Kai and they usually interact a lot irl and on instagram! Like, going on vacation together for example. It's so cute
omg !! vixx one of my most favorite groups !!their dance and concepts are just aaaa
i was waiting for when you'd react to them! they're such amazing dancers! whenever you have time you should react to their leader's dance videos. his name is N and he's an amazing dancer. i'm pretty sure you've heard of Verivery from RTK and seen them perform but i'd definitely recommend reacting to them because they're very synchronized dancers
vixx is one of the groups that got me into to kpop.
they are absolute kings!!
Am cryiiiinnnggggg. Concept Kings. Finallllyyyy 😭😭
Yay VIXX 😭 I get so happy when I see people react to VIXX... they're my ult of ults so I'm probably biased, but they're so special. I've always loved their choreography's too, so I'm glad to see a dancers perspective on it!
This dance practice is literally the most satisfying thing ever. I watch it all the time because I just love hearing all of the fans opening and closing in sync
Finally VIXX!!! Btw VIXX vocals are insane, still loving how genuine your reactions are 😍 Please do a reaction for BIGBANG and 2ne1 😘
btw, i love shangri-la remix on gayo daejun. their dance intro and costume were awesome!! tbh i love their live performance better since we can see their expression and dance better
Vixx - error , voodoo doll
omg when he said it was three years ago holy shit i cant believe it was that long ago. but yes vixx!! they are known for their concepts and i also think theyre vocally one of the strongest groups in kpop. my favorite choreo by them that i think is the best and cleanest is dynamite (which was the first part of their conception trilogy that they had in 2016). thanks for the reaction! a lot of people dont react to vixx anymore cause they arent active since half of them are in the military 😔
i am still waiting for more VIXX reactions, even if it's Patreon it's fine i am already a patron.
aaa jeff you need to watch more of them. they're literally called the concept kings. their concepts are so amazing!
"It's ahead of its time" YES. O. M. G. So many people slept on this song when it was first released.
You need to definitely see some of N's solo performances!!! And just more vixx in general!!
Concept kings ;;;;;; vixx best boys! Jeff’s analysis was interesting as heck to hear!
You should see “My Valentine” by VIXX. It has chairs for props and it’s a live performance. It’s breathtaking
Now I miss vixx so much 😔 kpop needs vixx
oh my god I’m actually gonna cry.. vixx was one of the first groups I really got into and I wasn’t expecting you to react to them. If you can, you should do fantasy and chained up.
Now... you need to react more from them cause you will suprised how they can pull many concept. I do suggest you to watch Error, Eternity, Chained up and Voodoo doll because these songs really have their uniqueness in it .
VIXX ARE CONCEPT KINGS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THEIR OTHER STUFF. A LOT OF THEIR TITLE TRACKS ARE BASED ON GREEK GODS!!!❤️
YES THANKS, i was waiting you to react to VIXX 😭 PLEASE check their other mvs and N's solos ❤
Also they sub unit VIXX LR 💖💖💖
Omg thank you. I have been a long time starlight and miss these babies. N is my favorite and he is such a good dancer and he knows how to work those facial expressions.
Another prop song they did is Voodoo Doll (they pass one object around). A lot of their other dances are kind of story based, they are not called concept kings for nothing, where they have even the smallest details in the dance. For example their song Scentist (story about making the perfect perfume) they have quick small details of them smelling their wrist like you would when testing perfume.
omg...you should watch the live version of this! its so good T^T
YEEEEESSSSS!!! The Concept Kings!!! 😍😍😍
Shangri la is the most beautifull music video i see.. 😭
Still my favorite mv all the time
As someone who composes music, while I do see why you would want more cry within the "yah" part. It wouldn't be necessary because it would serve as more of a distraction and be repetitive from the main chorus as there is a lot of emotion there. That was just meant to be more of a build up to the main vocals.
you should check out vixx - fantasy!! the choreo is soo good!! thats my fav vixx's song and choreo
Thanks for the reaction, I haven’t listened to VIXX in a while. You should check out N’s solo dance work, even just for his facial expressions.
i remember my first vixx comeback was chained up and imagine how shocked i was when i realized they were -sex- slaves and the physical album came with a signed contract saying that you own them lol
I can't believe this
I think VIXX's best quality is their POWER VOCALS and their LIVE SINGING and choreo can rival other dance-based groups at their time!! Nowadays groups are more focused on dance rather than singing, so I still think VIXX is the bestttt
Love to see more of VIXX reactions soon cuz they deserve attention. Mark my words: after their military service they will turn k-pop upside down again😁
vixx have never been known as the most technically impressive dancers despite the raw talents of hakyeon for example, but they're really really good regardless. ive always been a firm believer that they've always put the most effort into making up for what they may lack with hard work and creativity and no choreography better represents that than shangri la i think which is why it delights me so much to see that you think its impressive too. vixx work incredibly well as a unit, their attention to detail and passion makes them unlike anyone else.
Vixx have concept crowns for a reason. This isn’t a simple love song it’s about finding shangri-la - almost like the mythological search for El Dorado - it’s a place where everything comes together in harmony. In the mv they represent elements. Hakyeon is the air and scent, Leo is the moon and the tides, Ken is water and it’s source, Ravi is the riches like metals and minerals, Hongbin is the flowers and plants, hyuk is the animals. All coming together in this ‘perfect place’ they create Shangri-la. This song gained then recognition from President Moon and they performed this song in tradition inspired costumes at the 2018 olympics committee and hakyeon and Leo even ran with the torch relay. This was seen as a proud representation of South Korean culture in modern form. The choreography hasn’t changed since they first learned it and I believe this was done by husband &wife dancers/choreographers Keone & Mari who also did Fantasy and the fans were added by Yu Jung Wan. Hakyeon is a traditionally trained dancer and is recognised within that dance as having developed standards that are now taught to new students. He’s also choreographed and performed solo performances ‘Fate’ is the most recognised one which promotes his traditional style the most with modern flair. There is also a stage where Hakyeon danced with Jimin as he is a respected dancer and has spread similarly through a lot of dance styles. There are so many songs worth hearing mvs that give them the concept kings crown include: voodoo doll, hyde & Gr8U, dynamite, closer, scentist, chained up, Fantasy, Eternity, Error and much more. Yes They do a live dance on water for Love Me Do and it like most of their work deserves more and better recognition. They were firsts in arguing with tv networks to show the coloured lenses during live stages and I highly reccomend watching the 2018/19 new year possession and resurrection performances they did onstage as priests loosing a battle for their souls and vampires born anew. Ravi who is the 3rd top copyrighted composer in kpop, CEO of his own Label and still creates his own content as well as participating in VIXX. He also does tv shows, radio and much more. Hakyeon just got out of military start of October, Leo is still in civil service till 2022, Ken just started his military and Hongbin started his enlistment early after felt had to leave the group following a hate campaign from antis, Hyuk is solo singing and acting in kdramas while others are in service. Please watch more vixx and appreciate them. 🌟💙🌌
I remember back in the day they would say "If you like Shinee than watch out for VIXX."
Finally! I almost thought VIXX was out of that channel. Please react to "VIXX N Performance Video"
You should check shangri la remix live performance at mbc gayo daejun it is such a very beautiful and aesthetic stage...and guess what they gained recognized for that stage in south korea
You really need to watch the video where ACE did one of their songs on stage. it is sooooooo good. since i know you are a fan of ACE, you would enjoy it. Its really interesting to see the original and then see them do it. good stuff. visually, VIXX is just stunning in this video. I had to rewatch it .
Ou my Kings. I miss them so much. Half of them are at military right now: N, Leo and Ken. Ravi and Hongbin will go in 2021 and Hyuk in 2022. While N and Leo should come back in 2021, if I´m not mistaking the years.
But to the point, thank you for reacting to their song, dance and mv.
I always gravitate towards N when I watch their dancer performance/practices. He’s just so elegant when he dances. He’s on my top list of favorite kpop dancers but he’s so underrated. Please check out his solo dance performance he gifted fans before going to the military
I'm loving this 2nd gen reactions 💙 old school kpop is amazing.
