Warning: Long post ahead. This is specially made to let you learn more about VIXX and is especially handy when you’re new to VIXX or looking for some more information about them.

VIXX (빅스,Voice Visual Value In Excelsis) is a six member Korean boy group formed by Jellyfish entertainment in 2012. They were the company their first, and to this day only, boy group.

The six males were chosen to be in the group together while the show MyDOL happened. MyDOL was a reality survival show on Mnet, all ten males that participated in the show were under Jellyfish Entertainment.

VIXX made their official debut on May 24th, 2012 and have since surprised people all over the world with their story telling concepts and performances.

He gets easily embarrassed and has known to be quite camera shy.

Leo has very sharp and clear vocals, they can be really calming to listen to,

He is really great in shows like Weekly Idol thanks to his loudness and contagious happiness.

Ken’s hands are actually really beautiful.

Ken played in two dramas (Boarding House no. 24 and The Entertainer) and landed himself the main role in the four musicals (Chess, Cinderella, Boys Over Flowers the musical and Hamlet) he has appeared in.

He’s the official mood maker of the group.

His laugh is the most amazing thing, it will make you either smile or laugh as well.

He has been writing his own raps from the very beginning of VIXX.

Ravi his English in songs is purely iconic at this point, as is his 'Raveh!’

As a kid a stayed at a Buddhist temple with his grandma.

He is the flower boy of the group.

He is a really big fan of Park Hyoshin, to a point that one of his most valuable possessions is a CD of the singer signed with a cheering message.

Hongbin can’t do cute things, the second-hand embarrassment will immediately kick in and the poor guy will cringe.

He can be really salty, this is the kind of guy who will literally judge bubbles.

Hongbin his hobbies include taking photos and gaming, which he is both good at.

He is in the top 10 of Overwatch (number 7 worldwide, if I remember well)

Let’s just get this straight, Hongbin his vocals aren’t a joke as well.

He has a great bass to them, he can go quite low and they are so smooth. Seriously, his vocals are underappreciated.

So is his rapping, you only have to listen to Only U to know how good his rapping actually is.

Hongbin has appeared in 6 dramas, of which he was in the main cast in 3 of them. (Moorim School, what’s up with these kids? And Wednesday 3:30 pm)

His acting skills are really nice, he knows how to portray his emotions without being over the top.

Hongbin might be salty but he is also a caring person. His teasing just means that he likes you.

He is so photogenic, it’s not even funny anymore.

He is a big tease and will often team up with Hyuk to tease the older members.

He has a very gentle and almost cute look to him, his dimples and bright smile will always stand out in a crowd.

He has done some covers on YouTube, including full English ones.

He appeared in Law of Jungle (2017) and celebrity Bromance (2016)

He wants to be appreciated and remembered for his voice, rather than for his looks.

Hyuk has one older sister.

He is part of the group Big Byung together with Jackson (GOT7), Sungjae (BTOB) and N (VIXX)

Hyuk used to be really awkward around both Hongbin and Leo, he was even scared to call Leo 'Hyung’ at first.

Hyuk had the least amount of training before debuting, not only that but he was also still in high school in the debut days.

Hyuk likes to read and he’s actually a really smart guy.

He looks really cute, boyish and even innocent… Though don’t let those looks betray you.

Hyuk is quite the devil, he will tease everyone and he can easily throw the other members around thanks to him now being the tallest member.

Hyuk his vocals are really unique. They are smooth and the way he harmonizes with the other’s is just so beautiful.

He made his acting debut in the 2016 Korean movie Chasing.

He got nominated and won the Best Action Movie New Performer Award for the role at the Shanghai International Film Festival.

He is cast for a new webdrama alongside Apink’s Chorong.

He might be the youngest, and he can be a real tease from time to time, but Hyuk knows how to act mature as well.

His Long legs aren’t a joke and they shine in every other choreography.

Hyuk made his songwriter debut by writing the lyrics for Milky Way (Ker) together with Ravi.

Since then he released a solo song of his own, he both produced and wrote the lyrics for this song called Hug.

He is still growing, but literally and mentally. He has grown up right before our eyes and as a Starlight I couldn’t be more proud.

VIXX To Me

VIXX are so much to me, they are just always by my side through their music to cheer me up or make me feel less lonely. Not only that, thanks to me being a starlight I have met and befriended people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. They are inspirations to me, all six of them. They are so incredibly hard working and they always seem to be themselves. It is admiring really. VIXX are among the most caring and nice idols out there, from what I have seen. They meet up with Starlights quite a lot (For example after their musicals), they do a lot of fan service and don’t get me started on the fact that they have been keeping up with VIXX TV for years now. They are six guys who are so, so talented and so caring and loving. Honestly, I am very proud to be part of the Starlight fandom like I have been since 2014.
