The beautiful thing about "Resemble" is that Hakyeon (aka N) the leader of VIXX made the song thinking about the relationship he has with Hongbin and the road they have traveled together. While they seem like opposites, N says that they are both too much alike and that he appreciates that Hongbin has always been there for him and vice versa...it's a beautiful song.
Another fact is that "Walking" was written by Hakyeon (aka N) for VIXX members before leaving for the army. Although there is a part dedicated to the fans at the end, the song itself is a song that its leader wrote to the members as a closure of a stage of his career. If there is something VIXX has, it is their beautiful lyrics, where a song becomes a story at the end. 😊
It's so sad that VIXX will probably never have a comeback again. After military hiatuses and Hongbin leaving earlier this year, they will probably go their separate ways doing solos (and maybe every so often singing together, but I doubt a full-on album with them all together), but we can always appreciate them with what they've done so far and continue supporting them through their individual personalities. Thank you for keeping their spirit alive and reacting!!
(That being said it would be AMAZING if you could react to some of their solos! N has some choreography, Leo and Ravi have a subunit VIXX LR and their own songs, Hongbin and Hyuk cover a few songs, and Ken has been on a multitude of singing shows!)
That makes me so sad, I'm really loving getting to know the boys. BUT, what is important is that they continue to share their talents with us, even if that means as solo artists. I'm planning those solo mini-marathons!!
As a baby Starlight I am just glad that your comment didn't come true. I meet them just in time for their comeback. I know it is not the same without HB and Ravi. And N not being part of this comeback. But are still alive as a group and that gives me hope that everything is possible.
N is also my bias! High five He's just so alluring 😵💫 but I'm honestly the same where bias breaking is frequent in VIXX. Everyone is so good it's easier to just say biasing all 6 members haha. I highly reccomended checking out their variety content too they're very chaotic but love eachother very much I miss them 😢 Re: Shangri la being very korean/Asian fantasy It actually came about because Hongbin noticed their prev concepts were on the western side (ie: Jekyll and hyde, Greek gods (conception trilogy), vampires) and he thought what about going with a more Eastern concept and so shangri la shows this completely in the execution of it. It uses the kayagum (which you were not imagining) has completely korean lyrics no English at all, and the styling being hanbok. (Some starlights like to speculate/joke Hongbin wanted to pull off a eastern aesthetic so he can match with Hanzo from Overwatch. Around this era he was known as Hanzo master for being the overall 7th best out of Hanzo mains in overwatch worldwide haha) They have a legendary gayo live of this that went incredibly viral which got them invited to perform at the IOC. N was actually featured on the presidential blue house's website at this time too. This is just one of many times where Vixx had a trendsetter moment but it was like their huge viral moment with the general public as well. It led to more groups trying to experiment with Eastern concepts which kpop honestly was missing at the time 😭🙏 fun fact this era was when N solidified himself as my bias because he went viral for being a "male kumiho" and I'm weak for traditional concept esp kitsune/kumiho. You haven't reacted to it yet but there's also On and On which also had a huge impact on kpop as a whole where before VIXX, cosmetic lens like the special effect kinds weren't allowed on broadcast but VIXX argued they NEED to have the complete vampire look. Even tried to be pressured into "only one eye" haha. But the funny fact about this song is that it was their turning point as artists towards the more bold/dark concepts they became known for. And how did this come about? Hyuk, just like any other teenager in the 2010s loved Twilight series and suggested vampires for their concept jokingly and they actually liked the idea and went with it haha. Twilight is why we're allowed those kind of lens on broadcast. It never fails to send me
I'm so late for this!! I love your reactions to BB and love Vixx so much too so this was a treat :) I don't know if it has been answered yet but they are all quite tall, all over 180cm. I think maknae Hyuk is 185cm , Leo and Ravi 184cm, ken and hongbin around 183cm and N(Haknyeon) 181cm. Love that you want to do a Ravi mini-marathon :) I Hope you do a Leo one soon too ☺and the both of them together as VixxLR are soooo good, you'll love their songs. There's a performance of Beautiful liar that is live with rock influences and i'm obsessed with it!
Thank you so much for reacting to vixx they are one of my favourite groups and they are just so good. I discovered your channel through your previous vixx reaction and I just wanted to say that I like how you articulate and how detailed you are in your explanations ❤
It is hard to choose a bias in VIXX..in 2014 when I became a 🌟, Ravi was my bias cs he was funny/ fool to me but when I started to watch VIXX performance I had my 'le sin set' moment but deep inside of me I am really a NEO bias...
Hello, lovely. I truly adore watching your take on things. I enjoy you. I hope you are able to listen to Someday [from the ELYSIUM DVD]. It is so beautiful, and I feel you will love the sound of it. The ELYSIUM Live DVD is my personal favorite concert as a whole. Ravi wrote a LOT of VIXX's songs, and "1, 2. 3. 4. 5" Ravi started his rap and only gets maybe 4 words out before crying for the rest of one of their performances. I find his writing poetic, emotional, vulnerable and sensual. I recommend listening to the lyrics for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. More Elysium lives: Maze, Light Me Up [one of the first songs Ravi wrote from the Hyde era 2012-13 & from then on he was involved in a lot of the writing. This performance has an alternative rock version to it.], Hot Enough [Often I see groups where the main singer is constantly ending up belting throughout concerts and the only one with that expectation. Which can be taxing.. especially, with the amount of songs VIXX has! It has always been a key feature, for me, in VIXX how Leo and Ken do this thing where they bounce off each other. "You do a high note, and I'll support you in the back, now I'll do it." Type of pair. It's beautiful.]; Other songs would be Circle [(live) at EAU DE VIXX SHOWCASE], Desperate [stage mix], The Closer [빅스(VIXX) - The Closer 무대 교차편집 by Sena J] & Fantasy [빅스(VIXX) - 판타지 (Fantasy) 교차편집 stage mix version by h leggings]. I have followed VIXX & Ravi [whom I continue to consume all of his solo work; my bias] for 11 years now. So, I could go on with these recommendations. When you get into watching more of VIXX LR, I recommend watching the Whisper MV [which in a beautiful way extends from the Beautiful Liar concept of Leo & Ravi being one, mirrors of themselves; Ravi being a fire that lives within the more delicate Leo], listening to Poison & Feeling. Then, have fun when you go down the lane of exploring Ravi's solo work. He has tons of it! So, when I hear you saying, "I wonder how he'll fit in this track." I'm like.. okay, you really have to see how diverse this man can be. I would add on recommendations for him.. but, this comment will become so much longer than it already is. Much love!
Got interested in VIXX because of Ravi but stayed for Hyuk’s beautiful tone and voice. Please react to Hyuk’s Boy with a star and Winter butterfly. Leo’s I’m still here and All of me are both amazing and Ravi and Hyuk’s Memory is great as well! Thanks for reacting to VIXX!
It’s really hard to have a bias in the group. My bias is Ravi and he’s my ult but everyone wrecks me. Some specific wreckers are Leo in Hyde (the long hairrr) and Scentist (silver haired Leo why), Ravi in Chained up (the song was made for him ok) but also Leo and Hyuk because blonde and gorgeous, N in Shangri La (made for him) Hongbin on Ressurection stage for Scentist and Ken in Dynamite. You should totally check out the ressurection stage for Scentist (vampire vixx!). For Ravi, these are my suggestions: Bomb (rough aggressive baby Ravi), Nirvana (one of his best of), Tuxedo. (Fun song), Beom (Korean Pansori meets rap!) and for the cuteness of it Blossom by Ravi and Eunha for Pepsi. I would also suggest Ravi and Xydo on Immortal Songs See Through. And you’re right Ravi does have a voice that really draws you in…I think that’s why vixx always made Ravi talk about their albums on tv lol. You should also check out VIXX LR Beautiful Liar and Whisper (concepts about two sides of a person). The contrast between Ravi and Leo is just chefs kiss. I would also suggest Memory by Ravi and Hyuk, it really showcases Hyuk’s voice and Ravi is very Eminem-esque in it, it gave me chills. Leo solos I would suggest are Romanricism and Losing Game, both are amazing. For VIXX songs, I think you should defo check out Love Me Do live stage (star show 360 is the best one performance wise), Fantasy, Light up the darkness, Beautiful killer+trigger live stage.
For the drunken live there is another part: ruclips.net/video/FEDj057iGo8/видео.html and yes they were very drunk though both Ken and Hyuk were less so than the rest. Though TBH VIXX being this chaotic is actually kinda normal. They are gremlins in various states of chaos, with N and Leo attempting to be guiding but it doesn't work out since they too are also chaos just on a less than loud side. They were formed during a tv show called MyDOL and from right off the bat, N declared himself the leader and Leo was Scary. Meanwhile Ken did mosquito impersonation as his special talent. Just going to add that a VIXX journey is jsut as much chaos as they are so enjoy? Someone else beat me to the two must see lives of Shangri-la, but anyways here's a couple others: Hyde aka The Live We Must Not Mention: ruclips.net/video/5P12e-pZvX0/видео.html this live has come up a couple of times because of the styling they did was one of those Choice Were Made and They Wish It Was Gone. We still love them of course and gently will roast them with this. A more recent live cover they covered Havana: ruclips.net/video/PyKOnjDRSlM/видео.html (fancam) and ruclips.net/video/uIbkqfM728U/видео.html (musicbank version) VIXX So Hot - so they went on a game show where they covered a Wonder Girls song. It's glorious despite Leo having broken his foot before it happened: ruclips.net/video/SeR2DYTOOEQ/видео.html N on a talk show doing some dance moves: ruclips.net/video/ZG8KxrxpQec/видео.html and a recent N dance mashup from after his return from military: ruclips.net/video/3h51f9NPtZ0/видео.html Ken has done a few covers but one of them is this: ruclips.net/video/r1V7jmJ3xgQ/видео.html . He also has done a lot of OST songs and has been on singing shows like Duet Song: ruclips.net/video/_29DaN6B5EU/видео.html and here's that time him and Taeil faced off: ruclips.net/video/IzVzTgPRb9U/видео.html Hyuk and Hongbin actually didn't have a lot of parts in the beginning save as backup vocalists. Hyuke was still growing into his voice (the youngest at 17 and had only six months of idol training so he was still uncertain) while Hongbin's range did not match up with the ideals of the time. They worked hard to the sound they have in the later bodies of work and I believe that the older members always pushed to make sure that they got a moment to shine.

This made me so emotional... thank you for taking the time to react to these precious, talented men and for saying such kind things about them 💙
Vixx and BtoB debuted in the same year and are best friends to this day. #BTOVIXX 💕
SO CCCCUUUTTTEEEEE
For the next react I highly recommend Vixx "Elisyum dvd Hot Enough" "Love Me Do" and "With Me" Live stage. 😏😈
I'm so late for this!! I love your reactions to BB and love Vixx so much too so this was a treat :)

My favorites for Leo would be Touch and sketch and his first solo which I sadly forgot the name of!
I love N so much! lol
N has always been my bias.

Someone else beat me to the two must see lives of Shangri-la, but anyways here's a couple others:
Hyde aka The Live We Must Not Mention: ruclips.net/video/5P12e-pZvX0/видео.html this live has come up a couple of times because of the styling they did was one of those Choice Were Made and They Wish It Was Gone. We still love them of course and gently will roast them with this. A more recent live cover they covered Havana: ruclips.net/video/PyKOnjDRSlM/видео.html (fancam) and ruclips.net/video/uIbkqfM728U/видео.html (musicbank version)
VIXX So Hot - so they went on a game show where they covered a Wonder Girls song. It's glorious despite Leo having broken his foot before it happened: ruclips.net/video/SeR2DYTOOEQ/видео.html
N on a talk show doing some dance moves: ruclips.net/video/ZG8KxrxpQec/видео.html and a recent N dance mashup from after his return from military: ruclips.net/video/3h51f9NPtZ0/видео.html
Ken has done a few covers but one of them is this: ruclips.net/video/r1V7jmJ3xgQ/видео.html . He also has done a lot of OST songs and has been on singing shows like Duet Song: ruclips.net/video/_29DaN6B5EU/видео.html and here's that time him and Taeil faced off: ruclips.net/video/IzVzTgPRb9U/видео.html
Hyuk and Hongbin actually didn't have a lot of parts in the beginning save as backup vocalists. Hyuke was still growing into his voice (the youngest at 17 and had only six months of idol training so he was still uncertain) while Hongbin's range did not match up with the ideals of the time. They worked hard to the sound they have in the later bodies of work and I believe that the older members always pushed to make sure that they got a moment to shine.
Actually all 6 VIXX members are quite tall. Are all at least 6 ft or over 180 cm tall.
You should watch Shangri-La dingo version on yt, their vocals are amazing ....
Why did I read that as Shangri-La disco version. I was shook for a second haha. Dingo version is gonna sound so fire 🔥
@@HurrairaJamal lol..if you want some fun video..you should watch Dynamite dingo version...
Please also react to VIXX fantasy you will love it .
!!!!
Please react to VIXX dance practises.
