XG is heavily influenced by TLC. XG is a Japanese all girl Hip Hop and Rap group. They are not boxed into the Kpop industry. They are headquartered in South Korea because of access. Just like moving to LA, New York, or Nashville.
Really, what a question. 1. XG is from Japan 2. Mainly sing in English 3. Music is heavily influenced by R&B/Hip-Hop artists of the 90's& early 2000's let's just say KPOP would love to lay claim to this group but even JPOP can't. XG is their own thing, a new breed of girl group. The K, J, C, .. all this with POP is just a label anyway. It's as stupid as the Generation thing which makes no sense. Example: 4th and 5th generation groups - members are basically the same age and in human terms, same generation. Music hasn't changed, New Jeans music is not much different from 1st gen. S.E.S.. Check it out. The music is the #1 importance, labels are just marketing.
nope, XG isn't Kpop. That's why they're aren't on the top at the moment considering their immense talent. If they were koreans singing in korean they would conquer the world right away but they are not Kpop and that's a good thing because their fans are more down to earth and mature instead of being extreme to the risk of becoming sasaengs. I'm sure they will get the recognition they deserve because everyone involved in this group is passionate and full of talent so be patient, it's coming! They are almost there! ♥
I used to fight and argue over the fact whether xg is k-pop Or not but am done. I don't care, them being kpop Or not isn't gonna change anything. It's even better if they aren't considered kpop atleast they will be free from all those stupid toxic Netizens social media comments . It's even better if they are a global pop, they are gonna be recognized and loved by the whole world. Even after debuting just a few years ago, they are still making such good musics, Surprising us with their hidden skills, each member is equally recognized and skilled and loved, there's no partiality like some girl groups. And trust me i believe there will even be many kpop idols who will become alphaz and will look up to them and take motivation from them
i kind of like how they have every aspect of japanense, korean, and english in them. their mv’s and choreo remind me of k, their fashion reminds me of japan, and their lyrics and songs are in english
Japan has an affinity for Hip-hop and R&B already so it's not hard for them to produce a group like that. However the public there don't see girl groups/idols the same way the West and Korea do,so that's why singing in English makes them different from local idols and accepted by Japan. Avex have already tried to do this before too but going through the K-pop industry was a good move since the local consumers aren't looking for that from their local female idols since the female idol fanbase is mostly otaku/geeks men in Japan and they like something catered specifically for male otakus,in general.
They are all certainly Xtraordinary.💯💪🏻❤️🔥🙏🏻🇬🇧 What a boss group! Beautiful, all unique, talented, sweet, funny and sick AF.🔥 Alphaz!! 🐺 I love how the girls are mostly old heads and love their classic 90s Rap/hip hop. Cocona is just something else, at 16 she could have beaten most 30 -40 year old rappers with a lifetime of experience.👌🏻in two year she's probably levelled up again.😮
Back in 90's and early 00's Japan are the Launchpad of Korea in terms of music and entertainment, that why BoA Younha and Tvxq became popular in Japan even in Korea
@@jhomsubiaga-cabaro5715 Yeah now it's Korea's turn to become the launchpad for XG to become No. 1 in the world. I'm amused to hear the haters, especially Knetz, who say that XG is a parasite in Kpop, they don't remember that Japan also played a big role in making Kpop famous throughout the world today, it's very ridiculous.
@ScoobySnacks7 As a half Korean half Japanese American, it feels lazy to me to call a group of Japanese women Korean pop. It also follows the old trope of all Asians looking the same. None of their official tracks are sung in Korean. They're not even on a Korean label. Their influences are western R&B and Hip-hop. XG themselves do NOT describe themselves as K-pop. ON PURPOSE
@@jaedo6180 But they are with a Korean company...They also live in Korea and perform in a Korean system. They do the Korea music shows and follow the Kpop system and way of things. THAT'S why people put them in that kpop bubble.
i will respectfully decline that they are Kpop. Kpop indicate that their music had to have Korean language in their music. aside from them showcasing their individual talents that they are all trilingual; their own collective music are solely English. to appeal to a global fanbase under the training and production from a mix between korean and japanese training. to say that dance style or looks define kpop would be a mistake as those are fashion/dance culture not music. to deny them of anything less than a global group despite their background, training and influence in dance and looks; it would be a disrespect. i am choosing to honour their choice to stay as a global girl group; despite the feels, vibes, fashion, makeup that had both western and eastern fusion influences.
xg has all the elements of Kpop. trained and produced under Kpop system. it's not whether they sing in english or they're all Japanese members. it's the Kpop system that's ingrained in them. their root is Kpop. xg fans are in denial.
Nobody in denial except people wanted XG to be KPOP. Sorry they’re even not JPOP. XGALX was established since 2017, in Japan already and not in Korea. XG are all Signed AVEX Japanese entertainment artists. AVEX CEO Kuroiwa and Simon Jaklops mentioned this already that they’re not KPOP/JPOP in their individual interviews. Posted on Billboard as well. XG brief background- Billboard website: AVEX CEO - Kuroiwa interview : XG apart is their originality and freshness. We built the group together with our partners around the world, taking the best elements from Korea, Japan, and the US. The potential of the members, the music production, the video, and the fashion all came together, overlapping and giving birth to XG. We didn’t want to make them a J-pop or K-pop group, but instead create an all-new genre, X-Pop. The members of the group had a lot of different ideas about what language the lyrics should be in. Some said that since the members are Japanese, they should sing in Japanese, but ultimately they came to the conclusion that since they’d be targeting the global market, including the Korean market, English would be best. None of the members are native speakers, so we really focused on pronunciation from the very start of their artist development.
Kpop delulu amp 😂 if that your mentality, it means BoA , Younha Tvxq even Kara and SNSD was a Jpop because they debut and promoting in Japan ? Coming from the girls and the Label , they are not Kpop nor Kpop, they are HipHop and RNB Global GG
I think that XG is kpop in some way for many reasons: example1) Part of their training was in Korea2) They speak Korean, rap in korean besides japanese or english 3) They promote in Korea and perform in korean music shows like Inkigayo, the music show, etc 3) They are invited and participate in entertainment kpop idols shows 4) If they don't sing in korean is the less relative thing nowadays, funny thing that the most awarded song in korean music shows is Dynamite(which lyrics are full in english), Blackpink lyrics lately have more english than korean. Lisa is the most known kpop idol overseas but she is from Thailand and her singles are in english so isn't that ironic. Also not all the music in korean is consider as kpop, it's a matter of genre. I think the problem with XG is basically fear by some koreans as well music producers and executives, tbh they have strong reasons to feel threatened by foreigners idols and they might be right cuz XG are way more talented than the majority of korean kpop groups. Besides all that I imagine that the intention of their agency is not to be classified only as kpop, they wanna be more something more than kpop. That's why their songs are full in english, to promote worldwide and may people be able to enjoy their music and lyrics.e todo el mundo entienda sus lyrics. We don't have to be hypocrite to recognize that besides from Psy (whos lyrics only had a few english) the rest of the kpop groups gradually had to include more english in their songs or even have songs full in english (many exmaples like Girls Generation, BTS, Blackpink, etc) to get intgernational recognition. I see it logic, every group want to improve their career and not only to focused in the Korean, japanese or asian market in general. So yeah from my point of view XG is kpop even though many don't like or accept that.

Boi they sing in three languages not only Korean and English. They ARE Extraordinary. Comparing them to other 4th Gen that only using catchy beat to be famous to them is actually insulting hahahahah so yeah, they're not Kpop.
XG themselves said they aren’t and that they are a global girl group so I guess they are just cherry picking all the things we like about kpopj to appeal to us. Its working for them.
XG has love-hate relations with Kpop. Their company is incorporated and based in S Korea. XG is almost always on various Kpop platforms. Everything about them is Kpop except their lyric in English.
Not really…. Not even close to KPOP system… 😂😂lol… or else people won’t think they’re unique. Simon Jaklops and AVEX CEO Kuroiwa believed of forming a group that is different from JPOP or KPOP group. But probably have bit of elements of JPOP and KPOP… that makes people confused only.
I wish these types of "Is xg kpop or not" shorts & videos would stop because eventually somebody throws in racist accusations about the Japanese or Koreans. There was only 1 influencer who sifted through her comments & deleted any hateful ones, but most creators don't care & allow anti-Korean/J sentiments to grow.

Whatever XG is K-pop or not,
I don’t care.
Just love it.

Call it K-Pop, J-Pop, X-Pop, Hip Hop, R&B. I don't listen to XG because of a specific label, I listen to XG cause it's dope. 👽♾️🐺
XG have reached me in North Devon UK. I'm hooked on their music style and global superpower. Alphaz 🙌
who care's abt culture industry, we enjoy their music and talent❤
Really, what a question.
1. XG is from Japan
2. Mainly sing in English
3. Music is heavily influenced by R&B/Hip-Hop artists of the 90's& early 2000's
let's just say KPOP would love to lay claim to this group but even JPOP can't. XG is their own thing, a new breed of girl group.
The K, J, C, .. all this with POP is just a label anyway. It's as stupid as the Generation thing which makes no sense.
Example: 4th and 5th generation groups - members are basically the same age and in human terms, same generation. Music hasn't changed, New Jeans music is not much different from 1st gen. S.E.S.. Check it out.
The music is the #1 importance, labels are just marketing.
Preach preacher❤❤❤❤
xg is really the means of XTRAORDİNARY they are always different
XG is so unique in a good way and their song's makes me dance every time
They always put out a bop and that is enough ❤😂
They are amazing.
nope, XG isn't Kpop.
That's why they're aren't on the top at the moment considering their immense talent.
If they were koreans singing in korean they would conquer the world right away but they are not Kpop and that's a good thing because their fans are more down to earth and mature instead of being extreme to the risk of becoming sasaengs.
I'm sure they will get the recognition they deserve because everyone involved in this group is passionate and full of talent so be patient, it's coming! They are almost there! ♥
Their Talent says everything that is needed to be said, not much else matters really
Xpop global girl group how many times we have to repeat this
The kpop world is the best place to introduce girl groups in I think, and thats why they sent xg there to start off I think
The edition is cool especially your last line along side with Shooting Star!
They said they’re Xpop so that’s what they are! If they said the sky is red, then it’s red!
These girls hard asf
Does anyone remember that clip of Le serrafim Yunjin saying she wanted to "change the industry"? I think XG is doing that😅❤
It's why there is a clip of Yunjin on behalf of the other members asking XG if they wanted to be friends
I used to fight and argue over the fact whether xg is k-pop Or not but am done. I don't care, them being kpop Or not isn't gonna change anything. It's even better if they aren't considered kpop atleast they will be free from all those stupid toxic Netizens social media comments . It's even better if they are a global pop, they are gonna be recognized and loved by the whole world. Even after debuting just a few years ago, they are still making such good musics, Surprising us with their hidden skills, each member is equally recognized and skilled and loved, there's no partiality like some girl groups. And trust me i believe there will even be many kpop idols who will become alphaz and will look up to them and take motivation from them
Facts. Kpop has definitely taken inspiration from this group.
Last line cold af
i kind of like how they have every aspect of japanense, korean, and english in them. their mv’s and choreo remind me of k, their fashion reminds me of japan, and their lyrics and songs are in english
They promote Worldwide 🌍 not solely Korea
Now they are Goated 🔥

Japanese girls ! 🤤
They are X-POP
They're just a girlgroup, like Spice Girls, Fifth Harmony, or Little Mix. ❤
CocoNa hairs so Servinggss🎉

Verrry nicely done!👍🏽
XG labels themselves as an XPOP/Global Group so they can be free to be anything whether it's Jpop, Kpop, American Pop, and whatever.
damn right
wow thanks for the info
Xpop🎉🎉🎉
Eat and Hit the back case of using Kpop system
Bullcrap. They are international. Their talents and their production crew are limitless and Xtra ordinary
i love them so much, i don't care if it's kpop or not, i personally think it's not, because they're all japanese and they're from a japanese company
Girl Band with 7MC 7Vocal
Cocon ❤❤❤❤😊
they way u went into the chorus of shooting star @ the ending, ohhhh u ate that i fearrrre
Goal is the world. Korea is the launchpad.
The producer also said they just use the industry only.
Back in 90's and early 00's Japan are the Launchpad of Korea in terms of music and entertainment, that why BoA Younha and Tvxq became popular in Japan even in Korea
@@jhomsubiaga-cabaro5715 Yeah now it's Korea's turn to become the launchpad for XG to become No. 1 in the world.

Kpop adjacent
XG = Xtraordinary Girls
X-POP = Xtraordinary pop
They ain't K-pop, because they ain't Korean!
So anyone who isn't Korean, aren't Kpop??? So Sana, Momo, Mina, Lisa, Minnie, etc, aren't kpop artist???

@@ScoobySnacks7 and they aren't on a Korean label.✌️
They did the same with KATSEYE
dude love the outro
Simon is Korean and Japanese too
FYI to be fair jpop or japan pop was already established in japan when kpop hasnt invented yet
Japan is a war criminal country and I know Korea is a victim country
theres no invention of "jpop" or "kpop", that is simply just a term that have been developed to be associated with a whole genre of music.
That was one smooth introduction
めんどくさ。
事務所が公式に言ってることが全てじゃん。
いつまで擦るのよ。

The answer is Yes and Not.👽
XG doesn’t “promote exclusively in Korea”.
I prefer them just sing in english or japan....thay dont need into kpop...i still will listen their music.
NOT KPOP PERIOD!
Xpop
Whatever they are, it's working
Xg lebih bagus dari kpopp😊😊😊
Mereka semua berbakat😊😊
They sing in English though…
xg has all the elements of Kpop. trained and produced under Kpop system. it's not whether they sing in english or they're all Japanese members. it's the Kpop system that's ingrained in them. their root is Kpop. xg fans are in denial.

not kpop
not jpop
JUST XPOP !
Not Kpop. Doesn't matter but ain't Kpop.
