Artistry

Image and artistry

VIXX have established themselves as a concept or a performance group whose “attention to detail is masterful and elevates VIXX above their contemporaries”.[83] The members are heavily involved in the development of their concepts and their “commitment to concept is especially impressive with live performances of songs”.[84] 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. They can make you Google and YouTube to hear more, to know more”.[85] VIXX has cemented a “niche in the theatrical side of K-pop” with performances that follow a storyline that is carefully put together.[84] With their powerful vocals, costume, make-up, and dancing, the group's stage performances have musical-like or movie-like style. They have been praised for their stage presence for, with a reviewer commenting that “VIXX ooze with charisma”.[86] 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”.[87]

Lyrics and musical style

With many of their releases, VIXX has tackled themes such as hope, dreams, falling madly in love with a girl even though it hurts, such in the songs “On and On” (Hangul: 다칠 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.[88] VIXX plays an active role producing their music, with all members participating in the ideas and concepts.[89][90] Ravi, and more recently Leo, play an active role in composition and lyric-writing of their songs.
