On the 12th, XG announced through their official SNS channel that they had changed the abbreviation of their group name from ‘Xtraordinary Girls’ to ‘Xtraordinary Genes’. This decision was made with all members turning 20 years old as a turning point. At their debut, XG showcased unconventional music and performances, under the slogan "Xtraordinary Girls." Their message of empowering the identity of people from diverse backgrounds and environments around the world has established them as a unique presence on the global stage.
XG's new "Xtraordinary Genes" this time contains the "CORE" that is inherent in all members, their creativity, and their spirit and determination to create a new culture without fear of change. The change from the starting point of "girls" to the essential root of "genes" is a declaration that XG is turning the page.
Starting with the change in the meaning of their group name, XG will release their first full-length album ‘THE CORE - 核’ on the 23rd. This full-length album is a declaration that contains XG’s deepest essence. XG has also confirmed that they will be holding their second world tour ‘XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE’ starting in February.
XG had a dazzling year in 2025, from performing at Coachella to entering the Tokyo Dome through a world tour and dominating global charts. Therefore, attention is focused on what kind of steps they will take in 2026, starting with their first full-length album and world tour.
original post: here
1. They changed it because there's a member who isn't a "Girl" anymore
2. Ah I was shocked, they're still XG anyways
3. So they changed the meaning? I was shocked ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. I just learned that this was the meaning of their name
5. (Information: There is a member who says she doesn't identify as a woman and asks people not to call her a woman and she shaved her head)
6. So they changed because of the nonbinary member?
7. I thought that "genes" had negative connotation nowadays? Could they not think of something else?
8. So are they going to become a mixed group?
9. They should stop trying to piggyback on K-pop if they claim to not be K-pop
