VXON (pronounced as Vision; stylized in all caps) is a Filipino boy group under Cornerstone Entertainment. They debuted in 2022 composed of five members C13, Franz, Patrick, Vince and Sam. On January 7, 2022, they released their first single "The Beast."[3][4][5] Tagged as “The Monsters of Philippine Pop,” VXON has successfully released ten original songs and a rendition of the Jonathan Manalo's classic “Ikaw Na Na Na.”
Name[edit]
VXON is pronounced as "Vision". The name literally means that the group of 5 individuals work together to fulfill the same set of goals and passions - they have the same vision of what they should do. The letters in the group name also have a meaning to the group. The letter "V" is the roman numeral for "five". It is for the 5 members of the group. The "X" stands for their different backgrounds, crossing of paths, and forming a group through a single vision.[6] The "ON" signifies what the members do before they perform. Whenever they feel nervous or whatever they are feeling on that moment, they remind themselves to "switch on" before they set foot on the stage and do their best to perform.[7]
