VIXX mysteries:

who farted on superhero stage?

who stole N’s strawberry ice cream?

who put the bottled water on the ceiling of their practice room?

who took Ken’s calendar and put it on Hyuk’s room?

what exactly did Hyuk do to Leo in that room that made him scream and ask for help?

Starlights, feel free to reblog and add more vixx questions/mysteries 😂

UPDATE!! Vixx/Vixx LR “Plagiarized” 10 times in 10 Months

January - Kursun, a contestant on “The Voice Turkey”, took the instrumental of “Dynamite” and claimed it as his own, saying it’s not theft but “creativity”

February - The Chinese group TVBOYS plagiarized VIXX’s entire routine that they once performed on the Chinese program “Heroes of Remix”

March - Jung Wonchul, a “Produce 101″ contestant, lifted the music from and copied the choreo of one of N’s solo concert performances for his self-introduction without proper credit

April - “Dynamite” plagiarized by Egyptian singer Reda Mandor and sold as part of his album

May - “Beautiful Liar” used in the soundtrack for a Chinese movie “Father and Son”

June - Loco’s “Falling Down” accused of plagiarizing “Shangri La”

July - OMG NOTHING HAPPENED?!?!?!

Beginning of August - New boy group ACE had a photoshoot with bnt international where some photos bore a strong resemblance to “Chained Up”’s styling

End of August - New boy group BIT clearly and completely plagiarized the album cover for “Jekyll”

*So much for skipping a month…*

September – “The Closer” plagiarized on TwitchKR by an artist claiming it as their own

October - A break down of the most recent situation:

On the 1st, the street performance group Maxxam plagiarized “The Closer”’s styling in an ad put up by fans for their 1st anniversary and used those same outfits for their anniversary performances. The group released a statement the same day saying their fans had taken a “special photoshoot” and used it without knowing it was a homage to Vixx (implying credit wasn’t given only by mistake); however, this came after a fan account had already posted that they didn’t care about the plagiarism, which people mistook as the official statement and (obviously) were very upset over (other fans also made statements like, “it’s OK because they’re not idols” >.>;;;).

Starlights objected to the official statement though for several reasons:

* They only apologized to Starlights, and not to Vixx or Jellyfish.

* The original post listed the album as “Christopher” instead of “Kratos” - perhaps it was auto-correct, but you’d think they would catch an error in something as important as the name of the album you’re supposedly doing a homage too!

* The idea that it was a photoshoot specifically for the fans but somehow those fans didn’t know (and were not told) it was a “homage” is ridiculous  (saying something is a homage only after you’re caught plagiarizing is as common as white on rice).

Basically, their statement was that they did copy the styling on purpose but, through some “mistake”, the credit to Vixx got lost. The fact that Maxxam didn’t even do a cover of any Vixx songs at the event in question further diminished the “homage” narrative’s credibility (they’ve only ever done covers of “Chained Up” btw).

On the 2nd, they released a longer statement and, to their credit, seem to be fully aware of and sorry about the situation. They apologized for the fan account mentioned earlier and said they would be contacting Jellyfish directly in order to deal with any issues of copyright infringement. Expanding on the original explanation, they said the photoshoot was an event prepared for their anniversary specifically using Vixx as the concept, but that there was a problem in relaying that information to the fan club in advance of the event. 

While many are satisfied that the problem has been resolved properly, some Starlights still aren’t happy with the explanation and question how they could just send out something as important as a concept photo for such an important event without adding such a huge (and legally crucial) detail (imagine if it was Vixx using TVXQ as a concept and oops forgot to say so… 💀). And, again, the fact that they did no covers of Vixx songs at the event causes people to continue to question how exactly it was a “homage”.

Three more months Starlights… ugh.

—

Note: Plagiarized is in quotes in the title because some of these are up for debate. The ACE one for example; it could be that Starlights are just a bit sensitive at this point (can you blame us?), but some feel a case can still be made about it so I’m including it here (not a case against the group of course, but rather the bnt stylist running the shoot).

This second mini album expresses the delicate emotions ‘between calm and passion.’ Where “Beautiful Liar” expressed two opposing emotions in one person, in this album the way Leo and Ravi feel emotions and how they change depending on the situation is revealed through imagery and music. [ credit ]

The posters have a poem on them by Arthur Rimbaud, a notoriously LGBT author.
