Group VIXX Holds Successful Japan High Touch Event With 10,000 Fans

Idol group VIXX has been making K-pop fans proud since debuting in 2012.

In order to celebrate their official debut in the Japanese music industry, VIXX held a high touch event in Kobe and Tokyo last week to promote their new album, meeting with 10,000 fans in the process.

The six-member K-pop group topped the Tower Record Album Chart and ranked No. 10 on the Oricon Weekly Chart on July 2 with the Japanese debut album, "DARKEST ANGELS."

VIXX also managed to grasp the hearts of fans in China with their appearance in the "Starwith K-pop Live in Guangzhou" event. Member Ken performed a solo piece by Jay Chou for their devoted fans during the event.

The group will be holding their first exclusive concert, "VIXX Live Fantasia [Hex Sign]," from July 18-20, according to Yahoo Celebrity Philippines.

VIXX has also been focusing on interacting with fans by doing some good in the world.  

Member Leo, Ken, Ravi and Hyuk recently participated in the night-time filming for the sports-based charity event, "Shoot For Love," in lieu of the World Cup, according to the publication hellokpop.

"Shoot For Love" aims to raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer patients. The campaign installed a soccer field where citizens are encouraged to shoot goals to raise funds for patients.

VIXX's management agency, Jellyfish Entertainment, recently came under fire after a reporter allegedly wrote about his unpleasant experience with the employees of the company at a photo and interview session of the boy group, according to Allkpop.

VIXX fans chose to react to this type of treatment earlier this year by starting a petition and organizing a boycott of the group's DVD.

"VIXX's agency Jellyfish ask for unnecessary personal information, fan managers speak abusively towards fans, show poor hosting of the group's showcase and fan club inauguration, and neglect the fan café and do not communicate with fans," wrote VIXX's fans.

They added, "Although we have consistently requested for such matters to be corrected, the agency continues to allow them to occur and is just trying to wrap up this situation by putting forth a DVD sale and fan signing event posting. . .  We cannot see this in any way other than that Jellyfish does not recognize fans as VIXX's partner and is trying to use VIXX to silence the matter."

The agency reportedly released an apology soon after fans expressed their disappointment.
