maybe i'm jealous: thoughts about VIXX
-dynamite continues to be my fave song of theirs. i also LOVE the sound of G.R.8.U. the mv is shot 'backwards' and N has bright red/pink hair rivaling that of minhyuk's pray/i'll be you man era. shangri-la gets style points. on and on is the I Need Therapy Song. LOL i recognized it. their debut song, super hero, is embarrassing omg. like, insane wasn't embarrassing but it was slightly cringey? super hero tho. ig not everyone can get a jam like replay or an anthem like itnw.
-other songs i enjoy: error, love me do, fantasy (lol moonlight sonata). the closer has a sparse vibe, like shangri la. voodoo doll's heavy sound is GREAT, plus i like that mv.
-chained up seems to be their most popular mv on yt? the song is fun but gets repetitive. they've posted a variety of mv versions for some of their promo songs: performance, dance, drama. and then there's the dance practices. sometimes the Official mv will have the word official in the title, sometimes not. it annoys me!! all Official ones should have that word in there, to make it final. lol.
-line distribution seems to be: leo/ken, ravi/n, hyuk, hongbin D: hongbin gets v few lines in their promoted songs, eg shangri la. leo's speaking voice tone surprised the hell out of me: high and soft. like........what. he sings like that, which isn't too unusual, but he TALKS in that high soft voice too. ken has a singing tone similar to leo's, but his speaking voice is a lot more within the range of expected male voice tone.
-they have one subunit (vixx LR) and one solo (ravi). i really like whisper, but beautiful liar is a GREAT concept; great song and great mv. like whoaaaaaaaaa. whisper is equally arty, and also beautiful for the (bi(sexual)) blue and red lighting. i think ravi is the most well-rounded member; he raps, writes lyrics/music, sings guides for the songs, dances better than everyone except n. (their choreo is hard.) i'm surprised at HOW MUCH i like ravi's solo stuff. nirvana/alcohol is very artsy and uhmm american type sound, for lack of better words. leo and LYn's collab had a freaky-scary mv. WHYYYyyyyyy. i remember watching that years ago and being like what the hell. the song either hasn't grown on me or it's forgettable.
-ravi is an even more aggressive tone than minhyuk, but he doesn't do the hyper fast beat-of-his-own-drum thing that minhyuk does LOL
-choreo involves being on their knees/the floor far more often than shinee/btob ever are. can't recall girl group choreos that involve the floor except like, girl's day something. i'm sure there's more. like....think of your kneecaps and the wardrobe plz. a move they've done at least in two choreos is one person moves their arms in a direction, and the rest of the members torsos move in the same way, like following a conductor. it happens in shangri la (middle) and another song, i'll edit if i can find/remember it. it's probably in choreo of other groups too LOL it just stands out with vixx. the leg sweep in the middle of love me do is OBNOXIOUSLY appropriate for vixx, skyscrapers the lot of them.
-three of them, leo (taekwoon), ken (jaehwan), and hongbin look like manga/manhwa characters. exaggerated features, long/lean, tall. ok ALL six are tall. like, leo has small eyes but they're exaggeratedly sharp? and uptilted. his narrow forehead makes him even grumpier looking. and leo has his big nose and full lips. hongbin's smile doesn't really reach his eyes; idk if it's because they're really big or that's just his face. he's undeniably handsome. ken's face is so atypical. he looks like he's multi ethnic, but apparently he's totally Korean. lol congrats on your face lee jaehwan. in seriousness tho, these three are so handsome it's severe.
-about n (hakyeon), ravi (wonsik), and hyuk (sanghyuk). their face aesthetic isn't subject to a generalization as the other three. n has that long neck, tan, and uptilted eyeshape. as a seasonally tan asian person, i totally love his skin tone, lol. his mwave/mpd/m2 fancams often have the most views, and idk if that's bc he's the most popular OR because his dancer magnetism is /that/ powerful. to even override colorism. it's boa-taemin level, but modern dance. his smirking on stage seems to elicit legit screaming fits. i can't tell because minhyuk's friendship with hakyeon has me severely biased. hakyeon also seems to always have that same acorn haircut?? ravi has a long face, big nose, and glorious forehead. hyuk looks the most normal, for lack of better word. his body is good; the most proportionate and sturdy seeming of the six.
-for being tall people, only one of them has a noticeable slouch, leo.
-vixx legit roughhouse with each other D: even more than btob, definitely more than shinee (but that's a low bar lol shinee aren't much physical, that's a minho thing usually). often showing affection with light punches, neck chopping, biting, piggybacks, shoving, bodily throws. geez y'all.
-maybe i'll get over them by writing this all down. yes i am far too fond of using parenthesis. and yes i did get into vixx because of a monster fanfic orz
MORE:
-colorism is the only thing so far i've read about vixx's problematic/bad shit. they teased n about his skin tone a lot. not sure how often that still comes up, in public at least.
-the person that seems most social is ravi; gugudan members say he's the one that does the most out of vixx of being an interactive sunbae (not sure how low/high of a bar that is) and he's apparently friends with tarbb. n is ofc friends with minhyuk, and probably eunkwang.
-leo LOVES animals. cats, dogs, pigs.
-hakyeon gets frightened easily LMAO his scardey compilations are a joy for me
-THE NAMESQUISHES n/leo (neo), ken/ravi(raken), ravi/hongbin (rabin) there's more but these are so funny dkjldjklafds "hyuken" sounds like a burp hadoken
and moRE:
-they don't ever seem to change their haircut; mostly the way it's gelled/parted. kinda adventurous is ravi and he's less so than key, need not even mention ilhoon.
-other controversial stuff is like, manners related. ken for writing curse words. dangerous motorcycle transportation, having a very suspicious manager, which are both on their label. ravi's bomb solo, lololol. n being n, aka getting trampled upon or somehow offending the public.
-i might like hakyeon the most lol none of them have been convincing enough, and n is a tryhard which i appreciate. but his dancing away from a formal performance (and practice) stage is usually halfhearted. orz. his singing voice is my favorite.
-leo also likes children, as he does animals. he's severely shy, and has gradually worked through it in the last five/six years. he's the crown fairy, always ducking down to hide his face in embarrassment.
-ken is a BRAT. his singing voice is a close second in my personal ranking. um. he is very handsome, seems like a loose cannon. but he'll want to cheer you up by singing you a song, so long as he gets your attention.
-ravi is my second. his huge forehead and weird longface has now totally grown on me. he seems like a softie. it is very cute. HE HAS A YOLO TATTOO D: and "lol" lol
-hongbin is handsome but utterly not my type. he has a melancholy trainee backstory. he's got one of the deeper voices, and doesn't get many singing lines tho the guy can definitely sing. he gets embarrassed/flustered very easily.
-hyuk is sungjae's hs frand. CUTE FRANDSHIP!! he was apparently v shy and insecure at debut and is now the group's (evil) trickster hulk. lol.
