Bangkok is no exception to this phenomena, having played host to some of the world’s most prominent names in Asian music including BLACKPINK, and now, XG.
As per the announcement made by entertainment organisers AEG Presents, the nascent girl group is expected to take the wraps off their inaugural world tour, which so far spans across eight cities in seven countries. Kicking off in Osaka for two nights on the 18th and 19th of May, the group will then make their way to Yokohoma, before returning to their home city of Seoul in July.

The group comprises seven members; Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria, Maya, Cocona, and group lead Hinata.
Since 2022, XG has released a total of ten singles, with ‘Tippy Toes’ often being cited as their most notable claim to fame. Their first EP album, New DNA, would be released in the later part of September last year and peaked at Number 1 on the Billboard Japan charts. It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan after successfully selling 100,000 copies.
