VIXX Preparing for Full-Group Comeback as Maknae Hyuk Approaches Discharge

The K-POP boy band VIXX, which made its Debut in 2012, is preparing to return as a full group. It has been reported that the group’s Maknae member, Hyuk, is scheduled to be discharged from military service at the beginning of next year. Hyuk is currently serving as a social service officer and is set to finish his service in January of that year. Once Hyuk is discharged, all four members of VIXX—N, Leo, Ken, and Hyuk—plan to begin preparing to resume their activities. VIXX’s last official group activity was a fan meeting held in May of last year, with Hyuk absent due to his enlistment. The group was formed in 2012 through Mnet’s survival reality show “MyDol” and originally consisted of six members. However, rapper Ravi left the group in April 2023, and vocalist Hongbin left in August 2020. Currently, VIXX is active with N, Leo, Ken, and Hyuk. Ken expressed in an interview last October that a full-group activity might be possible when Hyuk is discharged. The group’s last regular album was their fifth EP, “Continuum,” released in 2023, with N not participating due to scheduling conflicts. VIXX is known as a “concept group” or “performance group,” famous for expressing a single story or concept through music, lyrics, choreography, and overall stage performances.
