VIXX LR (Korean: 빅스 LR) is the first official sub-unit of South Korean boy band VIXX formed by Jellyfish Entertainment. Established in August 2015, VIXX LR consists of VIXX's main vocalist Leo and rapper Ravi. The sub-unit debuted with their first mini album, entitled Beautiful Liar on August 17, 2015.
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.
On August 7, 2015, Jellyfish Entertainment released a video trailer on VIXX’s official website after a mysterious countdown with a silhouette of VIXX’s last special album Boys' Record. As time went by, members of VIXX disappeared until finally only Leo and Ravi were left behind, which caused fans to speculate that it meant another comeback for all six members. A video trailer of VIXX LR was then revealed.
VIXX LR was confirmed by Jellyfish Entertainment to be VIXX’s first official sub-unit composed of rapper Ravi and vocalist Leo. Their debut mini album, Beautiful Liar, was released on August 17, 2015. On the same day VIXX LR held their first showcase for Beautiful Liar at Yes24 Muv Hall in Seoul′s Mapo-gu. The duo started promoting on August 18th and they had their first debut stage performance on SBS MTV's The Show.
