although Boyd group vixx hasn't been
gone for as long as other groups I
normally cover here on what happened
vixx aren't a big time of change right
now today we're going to talk about how
fakes became known as concept kings
their history and what happened to them
and remember knew what happened every
single Friday but before looking forward
I was like to look back as many of you
know jellyfish entertainment is where
vixx came from but to go back to basics
jellyfish entertainment was established
in 2007 signing and promoting solo
artists but it wasn't until April 2012
where jellyfish created their own
survival show to find their first ever
group the show midol followed 10
contestants as they were narrowed down
to six to debut as a new boy group and
Leo Ken Ravi hyung bin and sang Hyuk
jellyfish then promoted some of the boys
by featuring other artists music videos
in the jellyfish family before
officially bringing vixx into the kpop
world with the debut song superhero
[Music]
although this isn't the VIX that
everyone grew to love superhero was
trendy blending annual fourth was
popular at the time looking back it's
pretty catchy
even though vixx members are embarrassed
to look back at this music video while
promoting their debut album superhero it
got lost in the charts peaking at a
hundred and twelfth place but vixx made
an interesting appearance vixx made a
quick move to actually perform at an
enemy convention in Baltimore Maryland
the u.s. this was vixx first overseas
appearance at an anime convention
you lucky weeps vixx then dove into a
video game world with the single rock
your body the bees a video features a
young Kassim from sISTAR the rest of
2012 would be action-packed for vixx as
they participated in jellyfish first
live concert in Japan then attended kcon
2012 in Irvine California making sure
they brought in their audience to more
than just Korea 2013 came around and so
did vixx
as they made their first comeback with a
third single album and the title track
on and on and I would point to this
comeback as the first time we see vixx
becoming known for their immersive
concepts they were able to create a
whole world in just three minutes
and aesthetics are always an 8 + months
later vixx made a quick return with the
beginning of vixx iconic horror era
[Music]
the first mini-album hide it showed just
a peek of what would come later this
could be vixx testing to see the
reaction they would receive from trying
a horror concept later vixx would
release a repackaged version of the mini
album with the Alenia track gr8 you or
great you a complete 180 of hide gr8 you
as you can see most of the music video
was filmed backwards which is not new
but is always something to appreciate
continuing to build vixx international
fanbase the group went on their first
global showcase
tour the milk away showcase across the
globe in Japan Italy Sweden Malaysia
America and of course South Korea while
on tour vixx filmed what would be the
kickstart of their return album food ooh
but this song only you this can only be
described as they calm before the storm
because the ton of track that would be
vague viral hit what's coming
[Music]
of course there had to be voodoo doll
while fix may not be the first to do
this kind of concept they were
definitely the first to nail it
tons of k-pop fans at the time knew how
popular voodoo doll was but it's not
just a shock factor of some of the
scenes but dynamic dancing and moving
music vixx were doing something no one
else was doing we now know years later
groups like dreamcatcher brought it back
for this generation but it all started
with vixx voodoo doll brought vixx all
the way to the top hitting number one in
Korean charts cracking the hot 100 kpop
on Billboard and snatching their
first-ever win on music Bank
20:13 turning into 2014 VIX gained
countless new fans from their biggest
hit voodoo doll but how do you follow it
up here's what they did they returned
with the grim song eternity jellyfish
soon revealed vixx will be making a
Japanese debut with a complete
collection of their previous songs also
hating other countries like appearing at
kcon for the second year in a row Europe
and more still growing that
international presence next up for fix
was an emotional moving classic era
[Music]
if you've seen error you know how much
of an emotional rollercoaster it was I
keep saying this when covering
second-gen groups but nobody makes music
videos like this anymore a true story
almost a movie of how memorizing it is
error was it take on a futuristic love
story and I love it Vic's were then
noticed by Taiwan at the kkbox music
Wars making them the first kpop act to
even be invited
now Vic's next comeback was a great
stepping stone in their career and that
was love equation
[Music]
love equation exploded onto the charts
by gaining an all-kill on most music
shows including a triple crown on the
show after an Asian tour vixx made their
first entry into Chinese charts in
Taiwan and China with a remake of a
popular Taiwanese sing her song and even
later with a Chinese version of error
okay so subunits are more of a second
generation being and vixx is no
exception
vixx members Ravi and Leo formed a new
subunit called vixx LR debuting with
beautiful wire I fall in love all over
again when I hear vixx LR it is a
perfect balance the yin and yang of Ravi
and Leo not only in a concept but in
their voice beautiful liar can be
interpreted different ways but it's
about someone lying to hide their true
raw emotions but in the end who really
is lying vixx LR appeared on Billboard's
award album chart and number two and
even the whole group broke into
Billboard's social 50 pigs were soaring
so high and they capitalized on it by
returning as one in the new release
chained up
[Music]
the timing was perfect for chained-up
because it became dicks most viewed me
as a video ever and I remembered this is
one of the boy group dances I first
learned by watching it so frequently
meet my Nemo in 2016 vixx made a big
push in Japan with their first Japanese
album depend on me turning number four
in Oricon charts and to promote the
album vixx how numerous fan meetings and
live shows across Japan jellyfish
announce vixx is preparing for a
year-long project called vixx 2016
conception and this time vixx will be
taking on Greek mythology first up was
Zillow's in the track dynamite
it was a rather simple concept but the
music picked up the slack
dynamite is so fun to listen to and it
never gets old
thanks woodwind 5 first place wins with
dynamite and their second triple crown
on the show and minute impact on
Billboard album chart and number four
the second part of the Vicks 2016
conception trilogy was Hades and the
teletrac fantasy
it was a complete spectacle musically I
can't even wrap my brain around it it's
it's insane
vixx continued to do well in the charts
and finally finishing up the project
with Kratos and the song the closer
cinematically the closer is nothing like
I have ever seen before in kpop it's
really like being in a trance vixx was a
force of nature again ranking high with
the closer vixx celebrated their 5 year
anniversary since debut in 2017 and how
did they celebrate it with a festival
starting with dicks live Fantasia day
dream concert and ending with an
exhibition title fix zero 5 to 4 then
vixx gifted fans with a brand new
comeback
I remember seeing someone say vixx don't
do concepts they are the concepts and
shangri-la is just that
[Music]
visually stunning and I love when
there's Asian culture fused in the music
video VIX again topped guy on album
charts went number three on Taiwan's
five music korea-japan album chart
number four of Billboard world albums
chart and number six on Billboard's
world Digital Songs Wow
every single song since voodoo doll was
a home run for vixx so consistent until
2018 where the song sentence was
released
[Music]
Vicks never seem to miss a step sentence
is just as good as everything vixx has
ever made however this would be vixx
last comeback as in May of this year
vixx contracts with jellyfish were
expiring all the members resigned but
one rather decided not to stay with
jellyfish as he wanted to set up his own
one-man
agency because during vixx Rabi has
always worked on solo music releasing
some on his own and that's something he
wants to keep doing yet Rabi very much
wants to continue to be with vixx and
member n has enlisted into the military
to serve back in March so where does
this leave vixx
well actually vixx are coming back it
was just announced like a day ago since
I'm adding this at the end of editing
that vixx are coming back with a digital
single called parallel with five members
excluding n but including Ravi and even
a concert so star lights you in well
seven years vixx has been in kpop and it
doesn't seem like it their music no
matter when it was released never seems
to age vixx has turned kpop into a
literal art form I'm happy to see a
group like vixx get and stay so
successful for so long it shows that
talent really does rise to the top sure
it may take some time but once you get
there it's all worth it in the end
