Who is XG?

XG, which stands for Xtraordinary Girls, is a Japanese girl group that was established by Xgalx, a subsidiary of Avex, a notable entertainment company in Japan. The group, based in South Korea, is made up of seven talented members: Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Juria, Cocona, Maya, and Harvey. They debuted on 18 March 2022, with the release of their digital single Tippy Toes.

The group’s name, Xtraordinary Girls, is a representation of their mission to inspire young people globally with their unique music and performances. The band started to gain attention with the launch of their social media accounts on 25 January 2022, and a video titled ‘Xgalx – The Beginning’ which spotlighted their journey through the Xgalx Project. Their pre-debut phase included various teasers such as rap and vocal covers, solo dance performances, and a dance video directed by South Korean dancer and choreographer, Choi Hyo-jin.

XG made their official debut with their all-English digital single Tippy Toes and followed it up with another single titled Mascara. Their debut performance on Mnet’s M Countdown in South Korea gained them significant attention. Later on, they went viral with a rap cypher video titled Galz Xypher that amassed 15 million views on TikTok.

In 2023, XG released their third all-English single, Shooting Star, and an additional track titled Left Right. They made history on 6 March 2023, by entering the Mediabase US Radio Top 40, a first for any Japanese female artist and group. Their journey continued with the release of Grl Gvng on 30 June 2023, which was a pre-release single for their debut EP, ‘New DNA’.
