Ken of the group VIXX has teased his polished vocal abilities.
On the 11th, in the afternoon, Ken revealed the main and poster images for his upcoming new album release through his official social media channels.
In the unveiled main poster, Ken displayed a confident expression and gaze against a backdrop of a blue sky. In particular, adding the copy "Higher Now," he conveyed his ambition to leap to greater heights as a vocalist.
The group poster released together contained key points of interest for this album. Ken gathered a total of five personas in one place: the four characters previously showcased—model student, rider, handsome man, and musician—plus a main character depicting his true self.
Characters with diverse personalities and narratives converge into a single voice, foreshadowing a three-dimensional and highly polished musical world that feels like watching a musical.
Meanwhile, Ken's new album "1X5" will be released exclusively as a KIT album at 1 p.m. on the 17th.
