How and when did you enter the fandom?

Wellโ€ฆ. I just randomly saw a lot of variety shows on that day, and I found “2 Days & 1 Night” season 4. I see the casts and I was just curious of all so I watched it. In the Episode 1, I just feel like he is so funny and unique. Like Iโ€™ve never seen someone like him in my life. After that, I searched a lot about him, I listen to his songs and I love them! Rania When I started liking Ravi, and I know Ravi after I saw the show “2 Days & 1 Night”, and then I stalk him. I found something special about Ravi. finally, I thought about getting into a fandom @ravindonesia and meeting new friends who also like Ravi and to share information about Ravi. Putriwiby At first, I watched โ€œ2 Days & 1 Nightโ€ reality show on October 2021, a little bit late it is.
Ravi suddenly caught my attention, got a special space in my mind and my heart by watching him on that show. Iโ€™m looking for everything about him on social media and the more I look about him, the more he got my heart. Iโ€™m a newbie by the way in this fandom things. Devina It was when I watched the first episode of “2 Days & 1 Night”, when he appeared on the camera I was like โ€œOH WOW! HE LOOKS SO HANDSOME! Whoโ€™s this guy?โ€ Then I searched his name on the internet and looked on everything thatโ€™s related to him, thatโ€™s how. So, I entered the fandom around last year, but recently Iโ€™m really getting crazier about him! Axel Christine At first, I like VIXX since the ‘Fantasy era’. That time my bias is Ken. but I’m still love all the member equally. I just getting overwhelmed by Ken’s voices. So I put more interest in him. As the time goes by I got influenced by my friend. And since Ravi release a mixtape called ‘R.EBIRTH’, my interest in his colour of music and his personality is growing bigger and bigger until now. Ima

I was looking for some friends to talk to and share interest about Ravi. I joined the fandom last year. Ana I started following the fandom since early 2021, when I saw one of my friend’s posts on Instagram because I love Ravi so much and I want to know about Ravi. Yulia In December 2019, I met Ravi in “2 Days & 1 Night” and fell in love at first sight. Anisa I actually know RAVI first during his VIXX’s Rapper era with his iconic “Yeah, I wanna win this race VIXX haha Value in Excelsis, aoooowww” hehehe Kira I entered the fandom at first, I really liked Ravi, then I just found fandom on Instagram and finally joined.Bianca

What are the reasons why you love your favorite artist?

He writes songs that really different from others which makes him more unique. His personality, hardworking person and funny! I feel like heโ€™s such a nice guy that really cares for others, especially for his fans. For me, his fanservice is really great! He always interacts with us, whether he replies to our comments, likes, and even he wears the stuff that we send to him. I just feel grateful and feel like really close to him, even only as a fan. Rania Because Ravi is a proud idol, He is a singer, rapper, music label CEO, songwriter, hard worker, caring with all fans, and of course, he is a handsome man ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜, and then he is the best CEO. I don’t know what else to write, because loving Ravi takes billions of papers to write it down. and I can’t. Putriwiby I fall in love with his personality, HIS FACE!!, his style, his songs, etc. Heโ€™s being cute and badass at the same time LOL. Devina First, when I saw him on TV, it was just heโ€™s very handsome! As I watch the show I feel like somehow they really show their real character when they play games or eat, etc. Even I watch him just from the TV, I love his personality. When I look more of him, I hear more about him and see how people around him value and respect him, I think heโ€™s a really good and kind person. And of course! Heโ€™s a really hardworking person. Ravi is a really good dancer and singer. In conclusion, I love him because I can see heโ€™s one of a kind, great, hardworking, funny, wise, multi-talented and very good looking man. Axel Christine His diversity colour of music, his personality, his kindness, his hardworking style, the way he solves a lot of kind of problems about himself or others, the way he leads his people or his company, all the things actually. Ima

There are so many reasons, but most of all it is his smile. His voice and his talent in music. His dancing skill is mind blowing, he is very cool when he is dancing.

Which song by them caught your attention at first and why?

I would say ‘Tuxedo’, this song really catchy for me and I think I never heard that kind of melody before. I play that song for like 3 weeks in a row at that time ๐Ÿ˜€ heโ€™s also very handsome at his MV. Rania

 

‘Paradise’ song with Ha SungWoon. The song makes me addicted to 1 week listening to the song ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜, he also looks very elegant and cool. And then ‘Bum’ song Ravi’s dance and rap really made me fall in love. Putriwiby

 

Ravi โ€“ Cardigan (Ft. Wonstein). That song is so ear-catching, and after watching the MV, it really great in all aspects. Raviโ€™s voice, the colors, the dances, the melody, the harmony, Wonsteinโ€™s voice too of course.Devina

 

‘ROCKSTAR’! Because it has a really good melody and it can be easily remembered. Once I hear the song I just wanna move my body! And it plays automatically in my head! Axel Christine

 

The really first song attached to me is ‘Lean On Me’ on ‘R.EBIRTH’ Mixtape. The melody is really good. I repeated it like multiple time while listening to it at first. Ima

 

‘Rockstar’ because the song really catches my attention. The melody, the lyrics, and the music video is fantastic. Ana ‘Lean on me’. Yulia ‘Rockstar’. Because it’s frequently used in two-power-one-night events AnisaFor Ravi as soloist of course it is ‘NIRVANA’ with Jamie. The MV is so aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and the song really catchy. Who is able to resist “Why do you love me babee~”?. Kira The first time I was interested in the song ‘ROCKSTAR’ because the song is very different from K-Pop songs in general. This song has a blend of various genres of music that unite into beautiful music.Bianca

 

Can you recommend a title track and a B-side track for new fans?

Omg itโ€™s hard but i will recommend ‘Tuxedo’, ‘Cardigan’, ‘I Donโ€™t Deny’, ‘1,2,3’, and ‘Versa’. Rania You must you should listen to Ravi’s songs with the title ‘Paradise’, ‘Bum’, ‘What About You’. Ravi’s new album ‘WINNER’, ‘Virus’, ‘Let Me Down’, etc. all his songs are so awesome. ๋Œ€๋ฐ• ๐Ÿ˜. Putriwiby – RAVI โ€“ ‘Cardigan’ (Ft. Wonstein)
– RAVI โ€“ ‘What About You’ (with Ailee)
– RAVI โ€“ ‘Bum’ (Ft. Chillin Homie & Kid Milli)
– RAVI โ€“ ‘Leaf’ (Ft. 10cm)
– RAVI โ€“ ‘WINNER’ (Ft. Ash Island) Devina A title track that I recommend is โ€œWINNERโ€. B-side track that I recommend is โ€œWHATโ€™S MY PROBLEMโ€. These two songs just out recently on his new album. All of his songs are really good to hear, so we should listen to all of them! Axel Christine I actually wanna recommend all the songs he has. Cause I can’t choose only one honestly. But if I have to, I may recommend some songs, such as :

ย 

a. As a title song, they may listen to ‘Still Nirvana’ -feat. Haon and Xydo (Prod. PUFF) from Ravi’s 4th Mixtape “Nirvana II”. And for the B-side track maybe ‘U-niverse’ – feat. Rick Bridges from Ravi’s 2nd Mini Album “R.OOKBOOK”. His flow and diction are always good, and the featuring artist also fire.

ย 

b. For the newest album, Ravi’s 2nd LP “LOVE&FIGHT”, as a title song I recommend ‘WINNER’- feat. Ash Island and for the B-side track is ‘Warrior’. But I highly recommend listening to track number 1 to 11 in this album. Cause to be honest, all the song is fire.

ย 

c. Also, this one is not the title track nor B-side track, but the project song he did with tvN-D and the ministry of Gender Equality and Family. The title is ‘Pause’. You have to watch the music video and read the lyrics. He write and composed this himself and he deliver a meaningful message through the whole song. I personally highly recommend this song. Ima

 

 

 

 

You should listen his new song called ‘WINNER’. In this song Ravi collaborated with Ash Island. The song I feel Ravi really put all his love and efforts to make this album. B-side track, try listen to โ€˜Paradiseโ€™ by Ravi and Ha SungWoon. The song is easy listening and can lift up your mood.

ย 

One more song that I would like to recommend is ‘Leaf’ – Ravi feat 10cm, this song will make you calm and soothes you well. Ana ‘Paradise’ for title track and drowning in the rain for a B-side track Yulia From the album “LOVE&FIGHT”, there is a b side tune called ‘Leaf’ and ‘Virus’. Anisa I always recommend ‘WHERE AM I’ to new fans, the lyrics are so good and actually melancholy? It feels nostalgic to me. Also ‘U-Niverse’!! This song is reaaaallyyy good! The type of love song where you love someone calmly yet so full. Kira I highly recommend ‘TUXEDO’ and ‘ROCKSTAR’ SONG for new fans, because this song is very interesting, unique, and pleasant to hear and has a good music video. Bianca

Translated as: “What do you think about woo What about you
Your opinions about that writer
I wonder if itโ€™s the same as mine, Iโ€™m getting butterflies
I wonder if youโ€™re beautiful even on the inside
I wonder if it resembles your clear eyes
Youโ€™ve already combined my abstract fantasy with your unique charms
Iโ€™m already in this novel of us, reality is faint
Iโ€™m already imagining a future with you
Chemistry is so so beautiful
Weโ€™re are romantic
Your style even when you just throw on clothes, even your slippers
Baby, itโ€™s so fatal to me” by KLYRICS. Putriwiby

These lyrics from Raviโ€™s song ft. Wonstein โ€“ ‘Cardigan’ (translated to English)
โ€œI donโ€™t care where we go
Even if we get lost, itโ€™ll turn into a new path
I just need you
Donโ€™t even need GPS
If only I have you, everything is alright Letโ€™s place a bridge on the clouds and go
Doesnโ€™t matter whether day or nightโ€
That lyrics really so sweet. Devina

“ํ•˜๋ฃจ๋ฅผ ์‚ด์•„๋„ ๋‚˜๋กœ ์‚ด๊ฒŒ” trannslated โ€œEven if I live one day, I will live as myselfโ€. The lyrics is from ‘Leaf’, Ravi (feat. 10cm). Itโ€™s really important to live as ourselves eventhough if itโ€™s only for one day. Axel Christine

There are some songs I like the most, such as :

ย 

a. ‘Live’ – feat. Chungha
“Don’t try to meet other people’s standards,
you’re beautiful in your own way.
You can fail, you can challenge, you can fall apart,
You don’t have to wake up.
Everybody around you loves you,
Love and you can breathe.
Even if you miss a moon, you can be a star.”

ย 

b. ‘Where Am I’ – feat. Microdot
” You’re someone’s pride, you’re someone’s idiot.
You’re someone roof, you’re under someone’s foot.
Not everyone needs to acknowledge me.
My fans are already bopping their head,
Holding up their thumbs.
I won’t match my eyeswth everyone else’s anymore.
Even if a storm comes, I’ll stand in the middle and throw
Up my middle finger, f**k you.
I have no time to stop.
On my shoulders are the houses and tables of my family.
I don’t have money to feed my future children,
So I still need to move.
Even when the moon puts the day to sleep,
I need to open my eyes wide.
Past time and space.”

ย 

c. ‘Pause’
All the lyrics from beginning to the end is precious and meaningful. Also, his low note is very good. Ima

 

“Limit, limit, limit, limitless, yeah

ย 

๋์€ ์—†์–ด ๊ณ„์† let just go

ย 

Limit, limit, limit, limitless, yeah

ย 

ํ•œ๊ณ„๋ฅผ ๋›ฐ์–ด๋„˜์–ด ํ—ˆ๋“ค

ย 

I could be a superhero, yeah

ย 

Or I could be a superstar if I want

ย 

We are, we are, we’re poppin’ champagne

ย 

We are so young to make us limited”

ย 

‘Limitless’ – Ravi feat Sik K & Xydo.

ย 

These lyrics help me when I feel down, remind me to be strong and achieve my goal. Ana

Which translated:
“I know I know, I doubted it too

Half of them do
So I got confident” – ‘WHERE AM I’.Kira

One of the lyrics of the song that sticks in my memory is “I love your cardigan”, this is one of the lyrics from the title song ‘CARDIGAN’. Bianca

Are there any quotes by your favourite artist that you would like to share?

โ€œYou can live longer if you stay away from meat + flour based products, but then thereโ€™s no reason to live long anywaysโ€ – Ravi

ย 

I just find it funny, well everytime he said “hwaiting” or “be happy”, etc, I always feel happy, plus his laugh is very addicting hehe. Rania “์„ธ์ƒ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๊ฒ๋จน๊ฒŒ ๋งŒ๋“ค์ง€๋งŒ, ๋ง์„ค์ž„ ์—†์ด ๋ฌด๋ชจํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋งž์„œ๊ณ  ์‹ถ๋‹ค. ์‚ฌ๋ž‘ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ์กด์žฌ์— ์˜จ ๋งˆ์Œ์„ ๋‹คํ• ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ. ๋งž์„œ์•ผ ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ ์•ž์— ๋‚ ์„ ์„ธ์›Œ ๋ถ€๋”ชํž ๊ฒƒ์ด๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ์„œ์•ผ ๋‚˜๋ฅผ ์ข€ ์ผ ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™๋‹ค” translated as: “The world scares us, but we want to face it recklessly without hesitation. I will give my whole heart to all the beings I love. I will stand up and bump into everything I have to face. I think it’s only now.” I think that he is someone who repays those who hurt him with extraordinary works and achievements. Putriwiby โ€œIf you hate me, hate me alone. Donโ€™t be out there lying about me. Trying to recruit people to hate me with youโ€. Devina “When things get tough, there are people who think best and worst case scenarios, but what Iโ€™m sure of is that you should pursue whatever makes your heart beats. Whatever motivates you and makes you move is what you should be doing. No matter what the outcome is, the process or what you get as an end results, Iโ€™m sure will make you happyโ€.
-This is Raviโ€™s answer on Dive Studio Highlightsโ€™ YouTube channel Ep.4 “Cheers to Whatโ€™s Next”. Heโ€™s such a very wise man! Axel Christine His famous saying is :

ย 

“Keeping carbs and meat away could save your life. But
If that’s what it takes for longevity, I don’t want it.”
You only live once by Kim Won Cheeks.
That’s why he loves ramyeon so much but still
Mantain his health by doing excercise.

ย 

“My most grateful people for now other than my family
Is my company people. I’m grateful for their support. It’s comforting to have someone. I’m thankful to them for filling in the gaps.”

ย 

He said that in the Seezn youtube content – “Painful Date 2”. Ima

 

โ€œYou know everyone deserves to be lovedโ€ from song titled โ€˜Pauseโ€™ by Ravi. Ana “A star has no meaning without a Starlight”. Kira I really like Ravi’s quote that if you want to live long stay away from flour and meat.Bianca

What kind of influence has your favourite artist had on your daily life?

I know heโ€™s a hardworking person and it influences me to always do the best in everything that I do. He also motivates me to learn Korean and I hope I can get my masterโ€™s degree in Korea, wish me luck! Rania Yes, it’s true, he gives me happiness, keeps me excited to fight for life and pursue my dreams, I’m also learning Korean. Putriwiby Heโ€™s my mood booster actually, he made my day so happy. And make me want to learn Korean. Devina Ravi has a big impact in my life. I can be very content just to watch him dance or when I listen to his songs. So, whenever I feel a bit down, I just need to listen to his songs to hear his voice. And of course, I will learn Korean ASAP so that I can send messages or post comments on Raviโ€™s Instagram in Korean. Hahaha! Axel Christine He brings me constant happiness and positive energy. Always pushes me to be a better person and be kind to everyone, being more brave and wise on every problem. If I make a mistake, I should apologize first and fix the thing needed. Put the interest of the team ahead of my self. All the good things from him bring the positivity to my self too. Ima

Makes me want to do anything I can do and be happy to myself, my friends and family. Also makes me want to learn about Korean more and more. Elli He is my happy pills and serotonin boost. I feel happy by watching him or listen to his music. He put a smile on my face. Last but not least, I took Korea language class because of him. I want to understand what he is saying without subtitles and one day I hope I can meet him and be able to speak to him. Ana Make me happy and make me can meet a lot of new friends. I want to study Korean too … his songs make me always energetic and made my day. Yulia It inspires me to do my assignment as soon as possible. Anisa If it’s about Ravi personally… It is not an exaggeration but Ravi helped my parents not lose their daughter. I was almost in depression and bad thought of leaving the world popped up lot of times. The reason why I love Ravi’s ‘Where Am I’ so much is because when the song was released, I learned about the lyrics and then I realized “I… probably worth something to someone” and started to calm myself more and try to live my life better. Up until now, years passed, and it is still being one of my comfort songs. Kira Ravi gives me a strong motivation to always work hard and make the best use of time, don’t forget to add enthusiasm to learning Korean.Bianca

Rania Always support him for all his works. Putriwiby Well, honestly this is my first time fangirling like this!

I wanna experience all the good and nice things he did. Ima

Do you feel there are any misunderstandings, things that are not well known, or any prejudices about your favorite artist from other fans (non-fans)?

I know he has 2 labels now, and managing those artists itโ€™s not easy, I heard that some of other fans saying that Ravi didnโ€™t take care of his artist. It was wrong, because as a person he really cares for others especially to people that really close to him. I saw that he always try to make a time for his artist either to see promotional event or mv making. So please, stop saying that he does not care for his artist, heโ€™s trying his best. Rania Yes, there are some I found hate comments. but I think they are wrong, because everything Ravi does is totality, and they work hard for it. Putriwiby As Ravi said, โ€œThere are people who think best and worst case scenariosโ€. I believe people with the worst scenarios do exist, but we donโ€™t need to take it personally because itโ€™s their opinion, not us. People can say whatever they want to say, but we can choose whether we want to listen to them. What I keep in my mind is, the people who love Ravi know better. RAVI IS THE BEST! Axel Christine There are a lot to be honest. People who don’t know him personally tend to throw hate to him without mercy. He is a very considerate and passionate person. He also has many soft side like his manner, politeness, he knows how to put himself and he is super clingy to the people he loves. He looks bold and strong but inside he also super sensitive and sometimes thinks way too hard. When he does something seriously, he puts 200% effort and high expectation. But sometimes the result does not go well as the expectation. And people who originally hate him take the chance to bring him down. But he knows how to control them. He protected his fans first instead of himself. And we as fans, we really know that we don’t really put attention to the quantity but we only care about the quality of the songs that he gave to us until now. He only produces a masterpiece and we love it so much. Ima

So far I don’t find any negative rumour or opinion about Ravi. Elli Ravi works really hard for his label, Groovl1n and The L1ve. I hope people understand and stop give hateful words to him. Ana Even though they hadn’t seen Ravi perform on stage, my pals believed he wasn’t very good at dancing. Anisa Other fans think that Ravi may look naughty but they are wrong Ravi is a cute and creative gentle guy. Bianca
