The video is about XG delving into the concept of them hiding their alien instincts while living their regular life as they discover their special abilities. Watch New Dance by them the video is similar to this. XG will try anything because they can lol. That is why I like them
I'm 64. I've been watching XG since they started. I love all their music. XG can't be touched. They have something that no other group has. These lady's have put in work to be where there are. I know they are the hottest group in world. XG #!
So, if you watch their documentary, Wolf Pack is part of their identify because of Simon/Jakops, their producer. It's not their lore or concept other than they are close like a Wolfpack. Aliens is really their concept and you see that throughout all of their videos (except for Tippy Toes and Mascara, their first two songs). The alien concept really appeared with Shooting Star and Left Right. From there everything is tied to the alien concept. But you'll see wolf pack and hesonoo (umbilical cord in Japanese) as expressions of how close and connected they are together.
The Galaxy concept was always a thing, but the Wolf concept was incorporated after Hinata gifted Simon a painting of a wolf for his birthday pre-debut. After that the fandom became "alphaz" and the wolf theme became 100% their group concept. It's not a one time thing. XG are space wolves, that's why their logos always incorporate 👽🐺 Based off of the MVs in order of their lore, this is what's happening; 1) Tippy Toes: Conception of XG 2) Hesonoo/X-Gene : Birth of the wolf aliens - GRL GVNG: Group discovering their dynamic as a group - Puppet Show: XG collectively decide that they need to leave their home world 3) Left Right : Space travel/ explorarion 4) Woke Up : Conquering their respective space zones - Undefeated: (Talking about how now one can stop their takeover) - Winter Without You: missing home during their travels 4) Shooting Star: Landing on Earth 5) TGIF: Entering Earth and first contact with people 5) New Dance: Exploration 6) Something Ain't right : 1st attempt to assimilate into society Hopefully this helps you or other fans a little.
You are close but I disagree, look at the Shooting star Jurin already has wolf ears, Hinata has a wolf bandana. In GRLGVNG the giant in the background is a wolf. The use of fur is pretty consistent in their lookbook I say they are a wolf alien hybrid. I do appreciate the way you break the ideas down tho.
You could even argue that they have some powers in Tippy Toes/Mascara, even though its subtle. Of course Shooting Star onward is absolutely them being able to move forward with their space wolves concept full force but it was 1000% decided predebut and planned.
Their concept has always been about aliens and superpowers. Since their debut, each of their MVs has more or less included these elements. All of their MVs can actually be linked together by a main storyline - that is, the seven girls of XG are aliens from a distant galaxy. After landing on Earth, they begin to observe human behaviour and try to disguise themselves as humans. Each MV shows different stages of this process, and each stage may have several songs and MVs to illustrate it. It's quite obvious that "Something Ain't Right" and "TGIF" belong to the same chapter, depicting their observation of humans and their attempts to blend in after landing on Earth, although they always accidentally reveal their true selves. If you remember the MV for "TGIF", you will notice that the content presented in "Something Ain't Right" is consistent with "TGIF". Not only are the MVs consistent, but both songs are summer club dance tracks. As for the concept of the wolf pack, it is more related to the fandom. They are the wolf pack and the fans are the alpha wolves (Alphaz). Without the alpha wolves, the wolf pack would cease to exist.
They're alien wolves. This is their human form and now they have discovered that they have superpowers...LOL. On their tour in the beginning of the show, they're in their wolf form on the screen. You can tell who they are by the color of their eyes. Cocona-green, Maya-Red, Jurin-white etc. When they come out they're in human form.
What amazes me about their Woke Up MV is that it is clearly structured as XG coming in to invade this tower at the beginning, crushing into it, breaking down their walls, exploding their leaders head. Jurin goes in with the football wolves and breaks down the walls in the beginning. Harvey invades the tower by crashing in through the roof. Chisa drives the car through the wall. Maya teleports into the leaders office and takes the leader down. Cocona comes in with something like a swat team and takes over the throne room. Chisa and Hinata are mesmerizing the riff raff after breaking open another wall. In this video they are showing off some of their super powers. It starts of with Harvey floating and using her telekinesis. Hinata then super sized in the background. Cocona is also using some sort of telekinesis having items floating around her. Chisa's eyes flare up showing some sort of mind power. Juria teleports away. Maya is making people dance with mind control. And Jurin is turning back time to show us how they got into this situation in the first place. In addtion to that every thing in this video seems to be a little bit weird. Like "Something ain't right". It's not necessarily 100% in synch with the lyrics, but if I break it down it looks to me like this: We see some chaos in the city and the girls showing off their powers and Jurin sends us back in time. We see Maya mind controlling some office workers while Cocona is coming in through an elevator, where she is being filmed by bystanders. She clocks the guy behind her filming. As she turns her head towards him, her eyes go completely black and the guy starts to float as she leaves the elevator. Jurin stops time in the parking garage, everyone around her is frozen in time while Juria teleports in with the pink car from one of the Fast and Furious movies, almost runs over Jurin and then drives off again. We cut to a dance interlude and afterwards we see Harvey grabbing some stuff in the Konbini (jap. convenience store) and meets up with Maya and her mind controlled office workers as well as Juria and step into an elevator to meet up with Chisa, who is using her powers on a computer to type real fast. We can't see what she is doing, but my guess is she is either infiltrating the IT systems or scrubbing evidence of them being there from the interwebs. We then cut to another dance interlude where Hinata shows off her powers again to go small. Afterwards we're coming back to the office, where Maya takes over more workers to have them join into the dance, while Hinata is outside but this time super sized like in the beginning and we can see the first signs of chaos outside with some smoke rising. Looks like she might have stepped on some cars. We then have Juria timewarp us back to the beginning of the video but now we're in the middle of the chaos with everyone just dancing away and using their powers willy nilly. We have cars floating around, fires in the city and the mind controlled people just joining in for the finale. The only thing that is persistent between XGs videos - at least for me - is they are coming in to take over a place, sometimes they are by themselves and sometimes they have the Alphaz in tow.
You need to rewatch their whole MVs since Shooting Star til Something Aint R8ght IN ORDER so you will understand. XG has used this wolf/alien concept consistently since their 3rd MV and you will see it visually. And the fans are calleed ALPHAZ
They are shapeshifting wolf-like aliens, so they have the loyalty and pack mentality of wolves, bu tthey are not from this world and change shapes. A wolf pack averages 7-8 members. In their very first song tippy toes theres a line "We a pack every part of her is part of me"
Also, here's Jurin's explanation from her latest blog entry on the ALPHAZ app: "In the video, we're aliens from a faraway galaxy who have landed on Earth, and we have our own special superpowers. Despite being aliens, we're disguised as humans and pretending to be normal people going about our day in society!" Sorta makes sense when you think about it: These girls' talent is other worldly! 🤩❤🐺
Theur identity as a 'Pack' began with Tippy Toes lyrics We a pack, every part of her is a part of me (Ah-ooh) we owning it, coming in boss mode, take control of it (Ah-ooh) they can't compete, yeah We gunnin' for the crown, group masterpiece, yeah
The alien theme is aligned to XG's motto: "breaking boundaries and stereotypes" The wolf theme is explained in their docu series XTRA XTRA that describes their bond as a pack
In all of XGs discography, Macara is the only song that does not refer to either 'space, aliens or wolves' in the lyrics or in the videos. The reason being that Mascara was supposed to be their debut song. This was what they were practicing and working on when XG was still 8 members. The idea of intergalactic/space theme wasn't fully matured other than their label name X-Galaxy, which was then changed to XGALX prior to the Move Series and with Tippy Toes. With their debut delayed due to the pandemic, a new song, Tippy Toes, became their debut and the Wolfpack lore was created, Hinata's Wolf painting for Simon certainly cemented the Wolfpack identity for the group. With Shooting Star and the Left Right M/Vs. The concept of Intergalactic/part Wolf/alien DNA/visitors to Earth became a working concept. One of only a few groups that has successfully incorporated a theme like this in every single release.
Their company is literally X-Galaxy (XGALX). Space has always been their concept. The wolfpack is just a representation of their closeness. Off of that the fandom took the name Alphaz 🐺👽 Since the beginning they have lore. They are from a far away planet here to uplift and inspire with their Xtraordinary music. XG really embraces their lore. It's fun and allows a lot of creativity in the things they do. My man, I know you have seen enough videos to know they don't always literally follow a songs lyrics. I would be so bold to say 50/50. There are XG videos that carry some deeper meaning. This is just them getting together to be aliens while they live on their new planet. 😆😆 I'm a space nut. And, I also miss the creativity of videos that we use to have in the 80s, 90s, and 2k. XG brings that flavor. Nice reaction ✌🏾
The MV kind of pays homage to Anime and Japanese Manga roots. I think Alice in Borderland due to the chaotic setting. Each XG girl has a superpower being that they're Alien. Jurin is Time, Harvey is Telekinetic, Maya is Hive Mind, Hinata is Quantum, Chisa is Speed, Juria is Teleportation and I think Cocona is Alternate Reality, possibly Witch powers. It kind of reminds me of the Infinity Stones in the Avengers Movie. The Studio is XGALX which the concept is they are from out of this world hence the Alien theme. It's a metaphor that they are different from other groups. The Wolf concept comes from being Alphaz which they refer their producer Simon to be. They refer themselves and the fans to be a pack of Alphaz or Top Wolves. A Pack of Alien Wolves landing to Earth to take over the world. There's definitely a cultural mythos about Wolves but then again, so many cultures have both Aliens and Wolves in their mythos.
Something Ain't right is in the title. I think is just supposed to be a bop . But i also think is meant to be like "something ain't right"(with them in particular) Is what I got from it. They are capable of going from giving u something with meaning and then giving u a jam to dance to without thinking to hard or at all on it. This one's meaning is just simply that "something ain't right". If they are aliens then it would make sense that this New World (earth) seems strange to them while they try to adjust OR maybe is like a... (tryna find an example. Maybe Yuqi's "Freak" switch perspective theme idk) something ain't right with them and so they're trying to fit in. You can see them doing very not human like choreo and things around the world as they explore it and interact with humans. Yeah, there could be something deeper here such as the fact that humans seem to be okay with them acting completely strange giving a sense of disconnection with the reactions that the fact aliens walking around has no effects on them(humans lacking human connection and reactions. Desensitized from reality) If it were to have a meaning then that's the conclusion I, personally, got. which makes sense to me. I took the title literally when watching it for the first time. They completely nail the sense of strangeness and otherworldly. But i do feel like is them talking about how disconnected we are. People definitely act strange and lack connections with other humans for a myriad of reasons. Hope my thoughts help. I love music and arts and creativity so i always find this fun. I'd love to see more people's thought on this!
sorry if it too long. I also think that the wolf pack thing is just the closest thing they can say so ppl can understand their bond and closeness as a team. Is them telling US that they are like a family the girls, Simon and their team is a family and u can tell is 100% true. Is not like, maybe, part of their main concept, but more so like What can we tell you as the viewer, how tight and connected we are with eachother. Idk if there a alive terminology, Oh maybe hive but that also a very human close description, So I personally think it has a better ring to it that they are LIKE as wolf pack group of ALIENS on EARTH. I love it a lot actually now that i think about it. Sorry for the ramble😳 ヾ(•ω•`)o
I've never seen you so confused, I didn't find it all that weird to understand myself. They follow a space-theme in all their videos/music. They reference alphaz and wolf pack stuff in most of their songs too.
During the training people forget they were competing Against each other but followings one person Simon . Who is considered as the Alpha . And at his birthday he received a painting of a Wolf representing him and details half of his face with different colors that repressing each members while the back ground was outer space, and the the song that was made during that time was Shooting Star. And the Label XGALX …Simon whom they follow the Alpha male but he is CG very first Fan making him the First Alphaz. Hence We is them 😊
Love how the chat is more familiar with XG than himself. Lol. You need to do your own research at least or you'll be lost. XG is always creative with their songs and MVs. You gotta keep up.
You should react to their Choreography session, rehearsals...Then you'll see how cool and swag Cocona and Jurin are, even the others are awesome...Shooting Star XG - SHOOTING STAR (DANCE PRACTICE) and Left Right...
I interpret this MV as they're aliens with different powers who've started to integrate into human society but someone(s) screwed them over. And so they throw a super power tantrum messing up the city around them. There are different iterations of alien interaction in some of their other videos such as exploration, invasion, and domination. Regarding wolves, I think that refers to the members of XG, the fanbase and their company's identity. And the concept of aliens is their persona
You've reacted to XG left right, Trampoline (Maya: who let the Wolves loose?), WOKE Up, and now Something ain't right, all alien concepts. Their World tour is The First Howl. The fan base are known as ALPHAZ. This is a part of who they are. They introduced it in SHOOTING STAR (Wolf 🐺 Masks)coming from another galaxy 🌌. The motorcycle in WOKE UP is a Wolf 🐺. Cocona rides it in GIRL GVNG (to get it you should see this video).
I don't know exactly when the concept started. I think it was a turning point when Hinata sent Simon a picture of a wolf's face. I think The concept of "alien" and "wolf" expressed by the girls, producers, and production team is I think it fits well with what they want to do. There is no sufficient explanation, so it may be confusing. I enjoy seeing what many people are considering from the fragments revealed in the work ❤ （Sorry if the translation doesn't work well🇯🇵🐺👽）
THeres another youtuber, Jordan Orme, he's an MV director, and he breaks down the concepts and really understood and was able to understand what was happening in this, i was very very confused until i was able to check out his video. I think it might help ppl understand this particular video better
I agree, the lyrics really don’t match with the video, other than something ain’t right. But i think all the mv was jurins vision, it basically begins with her looking up while controlling time maybe, and ends with her as well like wrapping up the vision. Concept wise it’s a lot like xg, taking tgif and new dance as main reference, more like the new dance multiverse video. Idk I’m still thinking about everything, but the song really bops. Love the girls 🫶🐺 and it’s amazing how versatile they are, dropping woke up and now this which is totally the opposite🤩
what’s a little interesting about these girls is that they’re all japanese, sing in english, but promote in korea. that could lend some helping hand to the alien idea or to the idea or motif behind their name
LOL yes aliens, even in Woke Up the entire MV was them being aliens crash landing. They all have different alien powers. And no the wolf imaging of being a “pack” is not weird. In this MV they kinda find their super powers and it creates chaos which is why the background of the MV is all in disarray. I think that goes well with the lyrics “something ain’t right” cuz they aliens in earth wearing crazy outfits and making a mess LOL and humans would say “uh girl something ain’t right with you” - anyhoo XG are my favorite GG. Love them.
They have two main concepts. One alien, two wolves. Sometimes we see both together. Sometimes we see one in the video. In this music video, we only see the concept of alien characters on earth who show their abilities. Juria: teleport Maya: mind control Chisa: fast moves Hinata: change size Jurin: time manipulation Cocona: float objects Harvey: I think fly 🫠
What are space wolves? Perhaps a better interpretation is that they want to conquer humanity, but see more in common in the hierarchy of a pack from their alien heritage. So they are both.
XGs overarching concept is that they are a pack of alien wolves come to Earth. This is them trying to fit in with humans but their Alien super-powers keep coming out.
Don't ask me for sources, but years ago I read some articles about some apparently fundamental differences between Eastern + Western story-telling culture. While Westerners are used having the background to a movie explained first (think long origin story), Eastern movies and media seems to tend to just skip that and immerse the viewer in a pre-existing universe from the start. I guess the philosophy is that they often want to tell a story and not the full lore. I actually feel like that explanation made it much easier to me to accept videos like this one, just sitting back and switching off the rational "I do not understand this story" part of me. Same goes for the sometimes wild concepts, which can focus solely on being visually stunning. Not inherently consistent.
from what i see , their mini album is alien concept. their single is different like shooting star left right wwy woke up.. only woke up related to wolves
I totally agree with you!! I love XG they are my fav group!! But when I remember Girl Gang and they are Aliens with different powers like Harvey is a mermaid, Jurin is a butterfly and Hinata is a clone, that's the concept that stuck in my mind but now with SAR they changing the whole concept I can't understand what's going on
Roscoe, their fandom name is ALPHAZ because the fans themselves created it so XG went with it. But originally, XG is suppose to be aliens taking over earth. So you can mix it up as XG with their original plan of being aliens invading earth with their empowering music while also appreciating the fans decision on being called ALPHAZ because we are a pack. Just like how BTS always calls out ARMY. They do wolf concepts for a shoutout to the fandom ALPHAZ. Funny enough, you can say they are Space Wolves Also to add another thing, Aliens are not a normal thing for humans anyways. The outfits are probably not something you've seen before and find it weird. Do you find the music a bop though? If so, you've fallen under a brainwash because of aliens successfully getting you to dance to their music. The title already says it anyways, Something Ain't Right, but you like their talent?
I cannot lmao I can’t believe this is the video where he realizes their concept is alien wolves. A lot of their music videos and songs have mentions of space and wolves. Why not have multiple concepts! It’s honestly not too surprising considering their group is under XGALX (XGalaxy). If you watch the XG documentary, they dive into why they chose their concepts a little more.
"Something ain't right, you've been acting funny lately..." Yeah, I can imagine that's true if the office girl next to you suddenly starts typing at super speed, or the girl in the konbini is tossing stuff in her basket using her mind powers, or cars are teleporting around the city, things are burning down due to reckless use of superpowers....sure seems like something ain't right! lol Video makes perfect sense to me, Roscoe!
Hmmm...I like the simple concept of "Wolves In Space". It's like in the late 70s with the Muppet Show and "Pigs In Space". Kermit The Frog was a great host because he told you the exact title of the next act. You weren't guessing. You were left wondering sometimes if it was an accurate title for the act.
In the construction site in the background of the crosswalk, is there rather a lot of...smoke? I believe Jurin's power is speeding up time...no clue about Cocona, tho!
I don’t think you’re connecting their disco very well; Woke Up definitely has alien elements, so do Shooting Star, Puppet Show, and especially Girl Gvng
Together the group is like a wolf pack .. but they are aliens themselves... Actually most of their videos hint at being aliens from space. And Hinata is the new Antman 😂
I believe they didn't start as Aliens first, this concept came in later, like tippy toes and mascara were nothing related to that. Alphaz came as a fandom name suggested by fans as it was in the lyrics. Later on, they evolved to Alien consept and kept with that so far, their style also changed drastically. So now we are a pack of Alien wolfs 😂
It's clear that you're not a genuine XG fan, but rather just a casual reactor. From the very beginning of their debut, XG has portrayed a concept involving their journey, arrival, and exploration in different dimensions. They are beings from another realm who possess powers and can shapeshift into wolves. Understanding this overarching narrative is key to appreciating their unique artistic vision and the depth of their storytelling.
I think that tone is rather harsh because he is a genuine fan of their music. but is he all up in their concepts and lore like you? No. and that’s ok. You don’t have to grasp the visual concept of an artist to enjoy and appreciate their music.
The video is about XG delving into the concept of them hiding their alien instincts while living their regular life as they discover their special abilities. Watch New Dance by them the video is similar to this. XG will try anything because they can lol. That is why I like them
this song also gives me TGIF in the day vibes
@@deliasalinas325 yes it does
True
I'm 64. I've been watching XG since they started. I love all their music. XG can't be touched. They have something that no other group has. These lady's have put in work to be where there are. I know they are the hottest group in world. XG #!

Aliens is really their concept and you see that throughout all of their videos (except for Tippy Toes and Mascara, their first two songs).

You couldn’t have explained that more perfectly
The Galaxy concept was always a thing, but the Wolf concept was incorporated after Hinata gifted Simon a painting of a wolf for his birthday pre-debut. After that the fandom became "alphaz" and the wolf theme became 100% their group concept. It's not a one time thing. XG are space wolves, that's why their logos always incorporate 👽🐺
Based off of the MVs in order of their lore, this is what's happening;
1) Tippy Toes: Conception of XG
2) Hesonoo/X-Gene : Birth of the wolf aliens
- GRL GVNG: Group discovering their dynamic as a group
- Puppet Show: XG collectively decide that they need to leave their home world
3) Left Right : Space travel/ explorarion
4) Woke Up : Conquering their respective space zones
- Undefeated: (Talking about how now one can stop their takeover)
- Winter Without You: missing home during their travels
4) Shooting Star: Landing on Earth
5) TGIF: Entering Earth and first contact with people
5) New Dance: Exploration
6) Something Ain't right : 1st attempt to assimilate into society
Hopefully this helps you or other fans a little.
You are close but I disagree, look at the Shooting star Jurin already has wolf ears, Hinata has a wolf bandana. In GRLGVNG the giant in the background is a wolf. The use of fur is pretty consistent in their lookbook I say they are a wolf alien hybrid. I do appreciate the way you break the ideas down tho.

Of course Shooting Star onward is absolutely them being able to move forward with their space wolves concept full force but it was 1000% decided predebut and planned.

Maya teleports into the leaders office and takes the leader down.
Cocona comes in with something like a swat team and takes over the throne room.
Chisa and Hinata are mesmerizing the riff raff after breaking open another wall.
In this video they are showing off some of their super powers.
It starts of with Harvey floating and using her telekinesis.
Hinata then super sized in the background.
Cocona is also using some sort of telekinesis having items floating around her.
Chisa's eyes flare up showing some sort of mind power.
Juria teleports away.
Maya is making people dance with mind control.
And Jurin is turning back time to show us how they got into this situation in the first place.
In addtion to that every thing in this video seems to be a little bit weird. Like "Something ain't right". It's not necessarily 100% in synch with the lyrics, but if I break it down it looks to me like this:
We see some chaos in the city and the girls showing off their powers and Jurin sends us back in time.
We see Maya mind controlling some office workers while Cocona is coming in through an elevator, where she is being filmed by bystanders. She clocks the guy behind her filming. As she turns her head towards him, her eyes go completely black and the guy starts to float as she leaves the elevator.
Jurin stops time in the parking garage, everyone around her is frozen in time while Juria teleports in with the pink car from one of the Fast and Furious movies, almost runs over Jurin and then drives off again.

Looks like she might have stepped on some cars.
We then have Juria timewarp us back to the beginning of the video but now we're in the middle of the chaos with everyone just dancing away and using their powers willy nilly. We have cars floating around, fires in the city and the mind controlled people just joining in for the finale.
The only thing that is persistent between XGs videos - at least for me - is they are coming in to take over a place, sometimes they are by themselves and sometimes they have the Alphaz in tow.

In woke up you can see Harvey coming to new planet, also jurin says left to take another planet
Theur identity as a 'Pack' began with Tippy Toes lyrics We a pack, every part of her is a part of me
(Ah-ooh) we owning it, coming in boss mode, take control of it
(Ah-ooh) they can't compete, yeah
We gunnin' for the crown, group masterpiece, yeah
They are wolf aliens
“Can I Ask Some Questions?” 😂😅
I LOVE the convos XG Provokes!!! 👏👏👏
"XG is so insane" is what I think their concept is.🔥👽 Anyway, thanks for reaction to XG.🐺

I'm a space nut. And, I also miss the creativity of videos that we use to have in the 80s, 90s, and 2k. XG brings that flavor.
Nice reaction ✌🏾
You’re overthinking it.
The music is great.
The MV kind of pays homage to Anime and Japanese Manga roots. I think Alice in Borderland due to the chaotic setting. Each XG girl has a superpower being that they're Alien. Jurin is Time, Harvey is Telekinetic, Maya is Hive Mind, Hinata is Quantum, Chisa is Speed, Juria is Teleportation and I think Cocona is Alternate Reality, possibly Witch powers. It kind of reminds me of the Infinity Stones in the Avengers Movie. The Studio is XGALX which the concept is they are from out of this world hence the Alien theme. It's a metaphor that they are different from other groups. The Wolf concept comes from being Alphaz which they refer their producer Simon to be. They refer themselves and the fans to be a pack of Alphaz or Top Wolves. A Pack of Alien Wolves landing to Earth to take over the world. There's definitely a cultural mythos about Wolves but then again, so many cultures have both Aliens and Wolves in their mythos.
This is a summer banger. I can totally see people listening to this on a road trip or when picnicking
Something Ain't right is in the title. I think is just supposed to be a bop . But i also think is meant to be like "something ain't right"(with them in particular) Is what I got from it. They are capable of going from giving u something with meaning and then giving u a jam to dance to without thinking to hard or at all on it. This one's meaning is just simply that "something ain't right". If they are aliens then it would make sense that this New World (earth) seems strange to them while they try to adjust OR maybe is like a... (tryna find an example. Maybe Yuqi's "Freak" switch perspective theme idk) something ain't right with them and so they're trying to fit in. You can see them doing very not human like choreo and things around the world as they explore it and interact with humans. Yeah, there could be something deeper here such as the fact that humans seem to be okay with them acting completely strange giving a sense of disconnection with the reactions that the fact aliens walking around has no effects on them(humans lacking human connection and reactions. Desensitized from reality) If it were to have a meaning then that's the conclusion I, personally, got. which makes sense to me. I took the title literally when watching it for the first time. They completely nail the sense of strangeness and otherworldly. But i do feel like is them talking about how disconnected we are. People definitely act strange and lack connections with other humans for a myriad of reasons. Hope my thoughts help. I love music and arts and creativity so i always find this fun. I'd love to see more people's thought on this!
sorry if it too long. I also think that the wolf pack thing is just the closest thing they can say so ppl can understand their bond and closeness as a team. Is them telling US that they are like a family the girls, Simon and their team is a family and u can tell is 100% true. Is not like, maybe, part of their main concept, but more so like What can we tell you as the viewer, how tight and connected we are with eachother. Idk if there a alive terminology, Oh maybe hive but that also a very human close description, So I personally think it has a better ring to it that they are LIKE as wolf pack group of ALIENS on EARTH. I love it a lot actually now that i think about it. Sorry for the ramble😳
ヾ(•ω•`)o
You hit the nail on the head! This is a great explanation!
their concept has always been alien wolves
He figured out the "alien" part 😂.
I've never seen you so confused, I didn't find it all that weird to understand myself. They follow a space-theme in all their videos/music. They reference alphaz and wolf pack stuff in most of their songs too.
i think this reactor have a problem with his mind. he believe that aliens are true.
Japan saves the music world again
If you go to the mv's comments it make a lot more sense. Goes into everyone's specific powers and why. Its very helpful
I feel like you should research a lill bit through their discography it isn’t that big yet but they release pretty fast paced.
Aliens from debut
During the training people forget they were competing Against each other but followings one person Simon . Who is considered as the Alpha . And at his birthday he received a painting of a Wolf representing him and details half of his face with different colors that repressing each members while the back ground was outer space, and the the song that was made during that time was Shooting Star. And the Label XGALX …Simon whom they follow the Alpha male but he is CG very first Fan making him the First Alphaz. Hence We is them 😊
Love how the chat is more familiar with XG than himself. Lol. You need to do your own research at least or you'll be lost. XG is always creative with their songs and MVs. You gotta keep up.
I enjoy learning from the chat. It’s more interactive for everyone and we all get to hear more than just me yammering about. 😊
You should react to their Choreography session, rehearsals...Then you'll see how cool and swag Cocona and Jurin are, even the others are awesome...Shooting Star XG - SHOOTING STAR (DANCE PRACTICE) and Left Right...
I interpret this MV as they're aliens with different powers who've started to integrate into human society but someone(s) screwed them over. And so they throw a super power tantrum messing up the city around them. There are different iterations of alien interaction in some of their other videos such as exploration, invasion, and domination. Regarding wolves, I think that refers to the members of XG, the fanbase and their company's identity. And the concept of aliens is their persona
You've reacted to XG left right, Trampoline (Maya: who let the Wolves loose?), WOKE Up, and now Something ain't right, all alien concepts. Their World tour is The First Howl. The fan base are known as ALPHAZ. This is a part of who they are. They introduced it in SHOOTING STAR (Wolf 🐺 Masks)coming from another galaxy 🌌. The motorcycle in WOKE UP is a Wolf 🐺. Cocona rides it in GIRL GVNG (to get it you should see this video).
Bruh, I don't ask questions, I just enjoy :D
I don't know exactly when the concept started. I think it was a turning point when Hinata sent Simon a picture of a wolf's face. I think The concept of "alien" and "wolf" expressed by the girls, producers, and production team is I think it fits well with what they want to do. There is no sufficient explanation, so it may be confusing. I enjoy seeing what many people are considering from the fragments revealed in the work ❤
（Sorry if the translation doesn't work well🇯🇵🐺👽）
THeres another youtuber, Jordan Orme, he's an MV director, and he breaks down the concepts and really understood and was able to understand what was happening in this, i was very very confused until i was able to check out his video. I think it might help ppl understand this particular video better
Unrelated but the ammount of cool cars in this video its Incredible
that’s why the song is called Something Ain’t Right!?!?
They’re alien wolfs, that’s the entire concept
I agree, the lyrics really don’t match with the video, other than something ain’t right. But i think all the mv was jurins vision, it basically begins with her looking up while controlling time maybe, and ends with her as well like wrapping up the vision. Concept wise it’s a lot like xg, taking tgif and new dance as main reference, more like the new dance multiverse video. Idk I’m still thinking about everything, but the song really bops. Love the girls 🫶🐺 and it’s amazing how versatile they are, dropping woke up and now this which is totally the opposite🤩
During their performance in HITC LA and NY back in 2023 they showed a video of space wolves 🤷
what’s a little interesting about these girls is that they’re all japanese, sing in english, but promote in korea. that could lend some helping hand to the alien idea or to the idea or motif behind their name
LOL yes aliens, even in Woke Up the entire MV was them being aliens crash landing. They all have different alien powers. And no the wolf imaging of being a “pack” is not weird. In this MV they kinda find their super powers and it creates chaos which is why the background of the MV is all in disarray. I think that goes well with the lyrics “something ain’t right” cuz they aliens in earth wearing crazy outfits and making a mess LOL and humans would say “uh girl something ain’t right with you” - anyhoo XG are my favorite GG. Love them.
Harvey’s glasses honestly look like the old hard cheese that wasn’t cleaned out of the grilled cheese machine
Gotta think multiversal my dude. 3 incongruent things can exist at the same time. Just have faith and acceptance.
They have two main concepts. One alien, two wolves. Sometimes we see both together. Sometimes we see one in the video. In this music video, we only see the concept of alien characters on earth who show their abilities.
Juria: teleport
Maya: mind control
Chisa: fast moves
Hinata: change size
Jurin: time manipulation
Cocona: float objects
Harvey: I think fly
🫠
What are space wolves? Perhaps a better interpretation is that they want to conquer humanity, but see more in common in the hierarchy of a pack from their alien heritage. So they are both.
XGs overarching concept is that they are a pack of alien wolves come to Earth. This is them trying to fit in with humans but their Alien super-powers keep coming out.
Don't ask me for sources, but years ago I read some articles about some apparently fundamental differences between Eastern + Western story-telling culture. While Westerners are used having the background to a movie explained first (think long origin story), Eastern movies and media seems to tend to just skip that and immerse the viewer in a pre-existing universe from the start. I guess the philosophy is that they often want to tell a story and not the full lore.
I actually feel like that explanation made it much easier to me to accept videos like this one, just sitting back and switching off the rational "I do not understand this story" part of me. Same goes for the sometimes wild concepts, which can focus solely on being visually stunning. Not inherently consistent.
XG concept is Space Wolf Aliens.
from what i see , their mini album is alien concept. their single is different like shooting star left right wwy woke up.. only woke up related to wolves
You mean "Something Ain't Right?" 😂
💜💜
why all of the reactors thinking what concept XG is? and are you believing that Alien exist? its just an concept dude.
cómo puede ser tan interesantes tus reacciones, no me pierdo ni una sola, siempre se aprende.
I totally agree with you!! I love XG they are my fav group!! But when I remember Girl Gang and they are Aliens with different powers like Harvey is a mermaid, Jurin is a butterfly and Hinata is a clone, that's the concept that stuck in my mind but now with SAR they changing the whole concept I can't understand what's going on
Roscoe, their fandom name is ALPHAZ because the fans themselves created it so XG went with it. But originally, XG is suppose to be aliens taking over earth. So you can mix it up as XG with their original plan of being aliens invading earth with their empowering music while also appreciating the fans decision on being called ALPHAZ because we are a pack. Just like how BTS always calls out ARMY. They do wolf concepts for a shoutout to the fandom ALPHAZ. Funny enough, you can say they are Space Wolves
Also to add another thing, Aliens are not a normal thing for humans anyways. The outfits are probably not something you've seen before and find it weird. Do you find the music a bop though? If so, you've fallen under a brainwash because of aliens successfully getting you to dance to their music. The title already says it anyways, Something Ain't Right, but you like their talent?
I cannot lmao I can’t believe this is the video where he realizes their concept is alien wolves. A lot of their music videos and songs have mentions of space and wolves.
Why not have multiple concepts! It’s honestly not too surprising considering their group is under XGALX (XGalaxy). If you watch the XG documentary, they dive into why they chose their concepts a little more.
LESSS GOOO
6:59 lmao the comment vixx mentioned 😆
"Something ain't right, you've been acting funny lately..." Yeah, I can imagine that's true if the office girl next to you suddenly starts typing at super speed, or the girl in the konbini is tossing stuff in her basket using her mind powers, or cars are teleporting around the city, things are burning down due to reckless use of superpowers....sure seems like something ain't right! lol Video makes perfect sense to me, Roscoe!
Hmmm...I like the simple concept of "Wolves In Space". It's like in the late 70s with the Muppet Show and "Pigs In Space". Kermit The Frog was a great host because he told you the exact title of the next act. You weren't guessing. You were left wondering sometimes if it was an accurate title for the act.
It’s Harvey. Expect the unexpected 😅
Alien wolves lmao hell yeah
How many XG MVs have you watched? They released almost 14 singles.... If you missed one, you wont understand
Antman Hinata....LOL😆
In the construction site in the background of the crosswalk, is there rather a lot of...smoke? I believe Jurin's power is speeding up time...no clue about Cocona, tho!
Coco's is levatation
I think you are right about Jurin
I don’t think you’re connecting their disco very well; Woke Up definitely has alien elements, so do Shooting Star, Puppet Show, and especially Girl Gvng
Together the group is like a wolf pack .. but they are aliens themselves... Actually most of their videos hint at being aliens from space. And Hinata is the new Antman 😂
They are Wolf aliens from space
I don’t get why he’s so confused… lol simple video
🤎things that make ya go hmmmm.
They are just alliens.. wolves are the fandome...
Stay here
When did stray kids do an alien concept?
They did wolves but I don’t recall aliens
BabyMetal ran away with the Fox God concept. Foxes and wolves seem to be an inspiring musical concept in this region of the world.
I guess he never met any alien before
Amazing reactions, thanks! But, XG is NOT KPOP, NOT ALL ASIAN MUSIC ARE KPOP. Again, thank you.
don't get it either but enjoy it anyway hahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂
I believe they didn't start as Aliens first, this concept came in later, like tippy toes and mascara were nothing related to that. Alphaz came as a fandom name suggested by fans as it was in the lyrics. Later on, they evolved to Alien consept and kept with that so far, their style also changed drastically. So now we are a pack of Alien wolfs 😂
I dont get it or in this case Something Ain't Right 👽🐺🤣
It's clear that you're not a genuine XG fan, but rather just a casual reactor. From the very beginning of their debut, XG has portrayed a concept involving their journey, arrival, and exploration in different dimensions. They are beings from another realm who possess powers and can shapeshift into wolves. Understanding this overarching narrative is key to appreciating their unique artistic vision and the depth of their storytelling.
I think that tone is rather harsh because he is a genuine fan of their music. but is he all up in their concepts and lore like you? No. and that’s ok. You don’t have to grasp the visual concept of an artist to enjoy and appreciate their music.
You should react to FTISLAND new song called Serious. It is really good.
You think too much
LESSS GOOO
