VIXX LR is a subgroup of South Korean boy band VIXX. Jellyfish Entertainment launched the band in 2012 and, as is the norm in the K-pop universe, it decided to subdivide the group into smaller units to maximize the individual members' appeal. In 2015, a duo made up of main singer Leo and main rapper Ravi, was called VIXX LR. The group's first EP, Beautiful Liar, was released that August. Its follow-up, Whisper, arrived exactly two years later.
