Name origin

The name of VIXX LR is a combination of VIXX (Korean: 빅스 pronounced "vicks"; acronym for Voice, Visual, Value in Excelsis) and the initials of the members names, with "L" for Leo and "R" for Ravi. In an interview on Pops in Seoul VIXX LR said their name also stands for “left” and “right” which meant that their contrasting qualities and images created harmony when on stage. The letters "L" and "R" also represented the first and last letters in the word LiaR in their debut mini-album Beautiful Liar and its title track.
