XG (/ɛks-dʒiː/; Japanese: エックスジー; Korean: 엑스지; acronym for Xtraordinary Girls) is a Japanese girl group based in South Korea.[1] The group was formed by Xgalx, a subsidiary of Avex. The group is composed of seven members: Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Juria, Cocona, Maya, and Harvey.[3] They made their debut on March 18, 2022, with the release of the digital single "Tippy Toes".[4]
Name
[edit]The group's name, XG, is an acronym for "Xtraordinary Girls".[5] The term is used as an aspirational name, as the group strives to empower young people all over the world with their fresh, inventive music and performance.[6][7] XG's fandom name is "Alphaz".[8]
Career
[edit]2022–2023: Introduction and debut
[edit]XG's social media accounts were launched on January 25, 2022, with a short video entitled Xgalx – The Beginning.[9] The video showed several girls in training for the Xgalx Project. This was followed by a dance performance video directed by Choi Hyo-jin, of the Korean street dance TV show Street Woman Fighter.[10] Over the next few weeks, the group released a series of teaser content, including a rap video featuring Jurin and Harvey performing a cover of Rob Stone's "Chill Bill",[11] and a vocal cover video of Justin Bieber's "Peaches", performed by Juria and Chisa.[12] On February 2, XG posted solo dance performance videos, with each member dancing in different styles.
On March 18, 2022, XG made their debut with the release of their all English-language digital single "Tippy Toes".[13] On June 29, they released their second all English-language single titled "Mascara",[14] followed by their first television appearance on South Korean Mnet's M Countdown performing the single.[15] On November 17, XG released a rap cypher video entitled Galz Xypher. The video became viral on a TikTok through an XG fan account, gaining over 15 million views on the platform.[16]
On January 25, 2023, XG released their third all English-language single, "Shooting Star" along with its music video and an additional track, "Left Right".[17] On March 6, XG entered the Mediabase US Radio Top 40, becoming the first female Japanese artist and the first Japanese group to do so.[18] On June 30, XG released "Grl Gvng" accompanied by its music video, as a pre-release single preceding their debut EP New DNA.[19] On August 4, XG released "TGIF" accompanied by its music video, as the second pre-release single to their debut EP New DNA. [20] On August 23, XG released "New Dance" accompanied by its music video, as the third and final pre-release single to their debut EP New DNA.[21] On September 27, XG's debut EP New DNA was released alongside its lead single "Puppet Show", accompanied by its music video. The EP was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipments of over 100,000 copies.[22]
2024–present: Valorant, world tour, and Awe
[edit]In March of 2024, XG announced their first world tour, with shows across Asia, North America, and Europe in October and November.[23] On April 12, XG collaborated with Riot Games to release the single "Undefeated" for the online video game Valorant.[24] One month later, on May 21, they released another single titled "Woke Up".[25] Toward the end of the year, XG would release several more singles—"Something Ain't Right" on July 26 and "IYKYK" on October 11—in anticipation of their second EP, Awe.[26][27][28] On November 8, XG released Awe alongside a music video for the lead single, "Howling".[29]
