    Honestly,XG's the real deal in this industry. It's funny there's so many haters in south Korea and Japan despite thesedays so many kpop gg are already trying to follow their music, concept andespecially styling... nobody can copy their unique energies.😂

    XG was founded by AVEX, its parent company, in Japan. XGALX producer Simon Jakops and AVEX CEO Katsumi Kuroiwa envisioned XG as a unique entity capable of global promotion. Established in Japan since 2017, XGALX was later introduced to Korea for promotion. This resurgence not only revitalized the KPop industry but also harked back to the JPop era of the 1990s and early 2000s.

    As the saying goes "Iron sharpens iron." XG has been the best thing to come into the Asian music scene in a long time. I'd rather listen to a group that puts in work like they do. Thank you for contributing to such a great masterpiece. Hopefully, we'll get to experience more from you down the road.

    Best thing with XG is the CEO or at least upper management ala Simon, while other groups have had founders or upper management who were ex-idols YG/JYP/RAIN etc, having ex idols who actually care and don't want the newer gen to go through the same shit they had to is the difference

    As both a working music producer and a huge fan of XG I loved this so much. Always curious about their production process because the quality of their output is just insane. Really enjoyed the insights into the differences between working in the Korea/Japan music industry vs the US, also just loads of great general advice for producers towards the end 🙌🏼

    *What separates XG from the Kpop, Jpop, and Xpop groups?* *1)* No useless aegyo (acting cute) while performing. No useless aegyo songs. *2)* They can sing LIVE without auto tune, without Celemony MELODYNE vocal effects. Without RePitch, without FlexPitch, without ReVoice effects. *3)* When they sing live, you can see their facial expression, indicating that they are really singing. Unlike KPOP groups, aegyo-cute is more important than live and actual singing, even if the song is on the high note, and yet it's lip sync and auto-tuned. 98% of KPOP groups cannot sing live without vocal alterations or artificial modifications. *4)* Rap lines is DOPE! *5)* Vocal line is SUPERB! *6)* Dance line, yup 7 aliens are dance monsters. *7)* Fashion queens. *8)* Trilingual queens. *9)* VISUALS? XG is one of the few girl groups appearing on camera bare-faced. 7 gorgeous aliens. *10)* TALENTS? Read items 1 to 9. *11)* MVs - are all high qualities. *12)* Costumes, wardrobes, attires, are High fEshion (fashion). *13)* Their company? Far more better than the Big 4 of Kpop. *14)* Songs - all of their songs are the DOPE! *15)* Sound quality? They don't put heavy auto-tunes on their songs. They don't sound robotic like most KPOP companies do. That's why you can hear their natural vocals and easily distinguish who's singing. Most KPOP groups sound artificial. It sounds like Android.
