VIXX, the rookie idol group that is the first to come from Jellyfish Entertainment. After having their first debut stage on the 24th, they briskly started promotional activities. The title song that has a polished pop feel ‘Super Hero’ stage properly fuses the individual characteristics of the 6 members N, Leo, Ken, Hongbin, Ravi, and Hyuk. The member of VIXX, a team name that brags the best visuals and voice, who has the dream of becoming ‘the best rapper, Ravi. We are revealing his charm.CREDITS ;; Sports Hanguk (SOURCE);; haepari@VIXX INTL(TRANS)
“From when I was young I listened to African American music. There wasn’t a special reason but because hip hop was the first music I listened to it became like that. The album cover had two African Americans standing. Although now I don’t remember who it was. (laughs) More than the melody, the rap caught my ears and from then on I followed hip hop.
From appearance, Ravi has the feel of a hidden pose. His eyes that are slightly unfocused and his mellow gaze captivates the other party. The him who has a symptom of narcolepsy, attempted to gain his senses and hold back the urge (to sleep) before it was his turn for his interview.
“I’ve never fallen asleep during practice but sometimes I also don’t know how long I’ve dozed off for. There are who have the sympton called narcolepsy but it’s not serious like the character Kim Jiwon of the MBC sitcom ‘High Kick! Short legs’ Counterattack’. (laughs)”
To Ravi’s words, the members bombarded him with questions, “How do you know ‘High Kick’?” “When did you watch TV?” This is because the period before debuting VIXX was completely absorbed in practice and didn’t have the luxury of watching TV. They don’t even have a TV. Ravi’s ‘Kim Jiwon comment’ caused a lot of division.
In reality, it’s a lie that I didn’t have even have a little stress when I was a trainee. Sleep, eat, practice, diet; only this type of lifestyle is impossible. Our company also doesn’t emphasize a Spartan teaching method. Recently singer Will.I.Am. visited Korea and all the VIXX members met him together. I naturally like hip hop music so when I heard that Will.I.Am came to a Gangnam club, together with the members and dorm mates we all went out to play and partied out. (laughs)”
Ravi who was lost in memories of that time. Because I have an attachment to hip hop I became worried about finding the musical value that fit with FIXX. We asked him “Isn’t it hard if the music you want to do and the music you present is different?”
He revealed his answer, “I’m singing K-POP but VIXX’s unique color is that they savor the feeling of something close to pop, so it’s very satisfying. Although established idol groups become more popular than the present through a new member joining, there’s also the impression that there won’t be many times that they’ll feel satisfied by themselves. I’m happy to become the support for VIXX’s songs through the rap that I can do well.”
‘Super Hero’ begins and ends with Ravi’s rap. In the entire 4 minutes, the time he is given is 40 seconds. Unlike the members whose faces are shown various times in their short measures, in calculation the time he is shown in the MV is relatively a lot.
“There’s a side to rep that makes it harder to reach fans than through the melody. If you listen to a song once even if you don’t know the lyrics you can hum along but rap is only a song without a melody. In addition, if you don’t catch the listener’s attention ‘What is that kid saying right now?’ ‘He’s only doing the actions’ there can be this type of impression. So I’m always practicing with the thought that ‘Show more precise, faster rap’. I want to see my grown image along with VIXX.”
