VIXX’s N Receives Backlash for Bringing Up Absence in Group Comeback

N, also known as Cha Hak Yeon, faced renewed backlash from fans following an interview where he expressed regret over not participating in VIXX’s recent group comeback. The controversy stems from the timing of the interview, which coincided with VIXX’s ‘CONTINUUM’ concerts on December 9 and 10, events that N did not take part in.

N Comments on Absence in VIXX’s Recent Group Comeback

In November, N had already disappointed fans by announcing his absence from VIXX’s first group comeback in four years. Despite his attempt to address fans through a handwritten letter, he faced criticism and accusations of abandoning the group.

The recent interview reignited fans’ discontent, with many expressing frustration over the timing of N’s comments. Netizens questioned the appropriateness of discussing his regrets just before VIXX’s concerts, and some accused him of lacking sincerity. There were calls for N to officially leave the group if he felt remorseful but wasn’t actively participating in VIXX’s activities.

Online comments ranged from urging N to stop mentioning VIXX and pursue his solo career to questioning his commitment to the group. Some fans expressed disappointment with N’s perceived lack of passion for VIXX’s choreographies and suggested that he should formally leave the group.

The controversy reflects the delicate dynamics between idols and their fanbases, where communication and timing play crucial roles in maintaining trust and understanding. N’s statements, while intended to convey regret, inadvertently reignited tensions and sparked further discussions about his connection to VIXX. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how N and VIXX will address the concerns of fans and navigate the complexities of their evolving relationship.

Jellyfish Entertainment previously made a significant announcement regarding VIXX’s upcoming mini album ‘Continuum’ which was released on November 21, 2023. The album was highly anticipated as it marks VIXX’s first new album in four years since their 2019 release ‘PARALLEL.’ However, the group promoted with only three members due to N’s absence.

Park continued that she immediately felt a connection to the character Seo Mok Ha, who ends up being stranded on an inhabited island for 15 years.

“Among numerous other intriguing proposals I received, the primary reason I was drawn to Mok Ha’s character was her incredible strength, which I highly desired to emulate at that point in time,” she said.

In “Castaway Diva”, Seo Mok-ha (played by Park Eun-bin) is an aspiring young woman with dreams of becoming a diva. Her journey begins when she emerges victorious in a UCC competition. However, a twist of fate leads to a harrowing mishap, leaving her stranded on an uninhabited island. Mok-ha’s life takes an unexpected turn as she remains isolated on the island for 15 years. After this lengthy period of solitude, she eventually makes her way back to the bustling world she left behind, forever changed by her extraordinary experience.

The series will also star Kim Hyo-jin, Chae Jong-hyeop, Cha Hak-yeon, and Kim Joo-hun. “Castaway Diva” is scheduled to premiere on October 28, 2023.
