K-pop group Pixy on being ‘six fairies who lost their wings’, their dark songs and upbeat personalities
- In an Post interview, the K-pop girl group’s members talk about the contrast between their dark concept and their bubbly personalities
- Pixy released their first single, Wings, in February, and a number of music videos show their unique talents
Traditionally in British folklore, pixies are mischievous little fairies with a bit of good and bad to them.
K-pop girl group Pixy draws on this heritage to inspire their musical releases and performances, and the members hope it will draw fans to them.
Their pop-rock infused discography lyrically draws on the fictitious origin story of Pixy as “six fairies who lost their wings”.
“I really have a lot of pride in our concept,” says Ella during a video call with the Post. “Some of us were kind of concerned at first if we’d be able to pull off this sort of theme and story, but I think we really suit it well and have grown into this conceptual idea for Pixy since our debut.”
Pixy’s Dia, however, was excited about the creative concept when they found out from their company Allart Entertainment. “To be honest, I really like this darker, more dramatic style of idol pop music rather than a brighter image, so I honestly am really happy to be part of this group.”
