"Voodoo Doll"

"Voodoo Doll" (Korean: 저주인형; RR: Jeoju Inhyeong; lit. "Curse Doll) is the album's lead single. "Voodoo Doll" was written by songwriter Kim Eana and Ravi (who wrote the rap portion of the song) and composed by Hyuk Shin, who has produced songs such as SHINee's "Dream Girl" and EXO's "Growl". The song's music video was directed by ZanyBros.^[7]

The music video was released on November 19, 2013.^[8] Filmed in the style of a horror movie, it opens with graphic images of organs and flesh being cut, stabbed, and stapled together. The mutilated members are imprisoned in individual chambers. Their female captor gleefully controls and tortures them through the voodoo doll. The members escape, but Hongbin is recaptured. In the end, he completely transforms into a voodoo doll.

Because of the disturbing imagery and violence, both the music video and choreography were censored. The music video failed to meet the regulations and was designated with an R rating.^[9] A clean version was later released on November 24, 2013.^[10] The choreography to "Voodoo Doll" incorporated a staff that “stabbed” the members at various points. The major networks banned the choreography, citing it was too violent. Their company expressed disappointment stating, “The part that was a problem is where the VIXX members turn into voodoo dolls. The choreography is symbolic of the voodoo doll's sad fate.” ^[11] The choreography was eventually modified for broadcast.^[12]

The single peaked at number 7 on the Gaon Singles Chart^[13] and number 53 on Billboard's K-Pop Hot 100.^[14] It also charted at number 3 on the Gaon Social Chart.^[15]
