As a group, VIXX is known as concept kings and despite usually embracing darker themes leans toward having a more sophisticated, grown-up image. Korean netizens have been responding to Hongbins livestream with comments such as:

  • F*cking hate thisㅋㅋㅋ You shouldn’t associate yourself with people like this
  • I’ve been kind of a fan of him in the past but is this even the same person? He just looks like someone completely differentㅠㅠㅠ
