XG: "New Dance", Becoming XG, & Group Training | Apple Music 

for real tho !

Fact

Because she is the member with the best English

Yesss, her confidence and friendliness really stands out. She is a great leader when English needs to be the focus

Because she studied in an international school.

❤ It is incredibly sweet to see the way they all look to each other when speaking, making sure they are all included in the answers.

u can tell she has really high EQ and IQ

I love all of them ❤❤❤❤

REAL

So happy you enjoyed ❤

Cringe comment

Yep I agree....

yes!!!!!

I noticed that as well, priceless!!

Hinata has such a cute/pretty/beautiful face that - to me at least - she looks lovely all the time. She doesn't get many lines, but the few that she DOES sing, she pulls it off flawlessly. These girls are beyond amazing.

​@Batladman I'm waiting for that song where she gets more participation, i know there's that song , 🙏🙏🙏

@@calacas27 Right? It has to happen. We all know she sings beautifully, and she's an incredibly good dancer. I have my fingers crossed for more lines for Hinata on "Puppet Show".

@@Bannysadkosays2u Yeah she's a great vocalist even though she's third after juria and chisa she rarely gets any line let's just hope she becomes more confident and better in English and vocals

i wonder why don’t all of them learn English properly so that they can participate in the interview

Yeah I think she might have gotten sick while she was here.

@@ChRisu_Ojisan yeah a lot of people are getting sick right now which is concerning, but hopefully they'll be okay!

@@babyvanderwoodsen yeah I myself just got a cold too.

I just got COVID (confirmed at a hospital) for the first time on the east coast…definitely stay healthy everyone

@@kristieholiday I hope you get better

The way she beamed with excitement (in one of the Xtra Xtra episodes) and had so many intelligent questions to ask Sienna Lalau (their main choreographer) over Zoom at just age 15.. while the rest of the girls looked like (cute) deers in headlights lol She is wise beyond her years and u can tell she has really high EQ & IQ by the way she speaks

Young age??? Shes 17-18 . Thats the peak of language ability...

​@@blacklikethesunnot to compare but being the same age as her it's not always completely easy for myself and my peers to express thoughts and feelings in a professional environment so props to her

@@jk2000jk shes just talking. Shes been speaking english for a long time. It is impressive how fluent she is though. Kpop fans just tend to be amazed and blow out of proportion average or simple things because they see their idols as amazing. Maya isnt a child anymore .

@@blacklikethesun and yet there are 20 something year olds who aren’t as articulate.

ive been saying this !! the take ova

THIS!!!! XG is really really extraordinary one!

Cocona with the absolute strait face at the beginning 😂

who is simon? is that their manager?

@@ikhlasmohamed7203creator and mastermind behind XG

​@@ikhlasmohamed7203the one who created this team XG and far ahead of our expectations he gaves us with XG

Think she's sick.

@@ikhlasmohamed7203 XGALX is labeled under AVEX Japanese Entertainment Corporation. AVEX CEO Katsumi Kuroiwa who partnered with Simon Jakop XG producer is Simon Jakop( he is half Japanese and half Korean ) Avex’s CEO, Katsumi Kuroiwa and Simon was chosen from the music industry leaders of the world for inclusion in the list for the first time. Kuroiwa said: We launched XGALX, a global artist project behind artists like XG, six years ago, in 2017 Kuroiwa and Simon said: The strong impression I got through our activities with them was that they were keeping a close eye on the Japanese and global markets. Leveraging this experience, we launched the XGALX project with the aim of creating global hits. Initially, we were aiming for a 2020 debut, but the COVID pandemic but a halt to any major moves, so the debut ended up being in 2022. We built up even more knowledge in the intervening time, so in the end it turned out for the best. We have a great respect for K-pop, but what really sets 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. Project Manager: Yudai Hasegawa Creative Content Director: Mashiko Kamatsuzaki

And we’re here witnessing them grow 💫

Big Like

Yes!! Of course his future is so brilliant ❤❤❤❤

I feel like they won't be able to go past the limited reach of international k-pop stans. They have a very small fanbase in Korea, an even smaller one in Japan, and they don't have enough international reach to really break ground for mainstream success.

​@@mitch.ricooowe'll definitely be able to witness that for sure you'll see too

Yeah, in their documentary Cocona and Maya were both 11 when they joined as trainees and I think there was another trainee that was like 10.

The Xtra Xtra documentary on their RU-vid channel show their audition intros with their ages (11-15).

@@pure_viiyikes 😬

Face of the Group it used to be a actual posistion

I like it better too! That way they can express themselves more vibrantly. You can tell by their answers in Japanese they are very passionate in what they are creating.

perhaps but english interviews will help them become more fluent so they can express themselves fully in english too

i wonder why don’t all of them learn English properly so that they can participate in the interview

@dangzitspro they are fairly fluent and understand the language but not confident with it in such setups. Besides, they can learn and speak English but they don't have to. That's why interpreters and subtitles exist.

@@ericmwangi9130 there might be a translator but certain messages may not be communicated effectively and certain expressions might not be conveyed due to language barrier. Also, there would not be a sense of closeness between the 2 parties if there is always a translator there.

@dangzitspro then I guess this is high time anyone who wants to directly understand them learnt Japanese.

@@ericmwangi9130 of course there are many people who put in the time and effort to be fluent in Japanese. But as I’ve mentioned, you can see that they’re trying hard to expand into the global market. It only makes sense for them to master English since it is the lingua franca of the world. Language plays a huge part in breaking into any market in the world. Imagine wanting to break into kpop but not speaking Korean. Speaking a language that is familiar will make the audience feel closer to them. Name me another internationally famous and successful artistes/group that doesn’t know how to speak English.

Estoy de acuerdo

I try my best ❤

@@Breese07 you ate that

They are the best group ever ❤

I think so,too

Yes

Most of them are the haters usually you can ignore them

I think they’re secretly racist or something like 😭 or they think Koreans are superior

there are always judgmental armchair commenters online who dont know what an ounce of hard work is. some of the comments are ridiculous, acting as if learning a whole other language is some easy peasy task

They're haters for sure girl, and they say whatever they want in this way😂 just because they all aren't fluent in English it doesn't mean that they can't reach to success✨

i wonder why don’t all of them learn English properly so that they can participate in the interview

@@dangzitspro English isn't easy to learn, especially for Asians. It's a lot easier for people in other regions. Some Europeans, for instance, can learn English in a matter of months. What I know about XG is that while most members aren't fluent English speakers, they all can understand English without any difficulties.

@@GoodOldCinema Not true. That’s just an excuse for not putting in the effort to master something. You can see countries like the Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore etc are all very fluent in English. Even ITZY is more fluent than them in English and they’re all Korean. Only Lia came from abroad but all of them are almost fluent in English. That’s because they put in the effort to learn the language.

@@dangzitspro Lia went to international school. That's how she learned English. She also lived in Canada for a short time. Out of the remaining members, only Ryujin is close to being fluent. The English level of Yuna, Yeji and Chaeryeong isn't much better than the XG members. Your assumption is that XG members, Maya aside, don't speak English at all. Look it up and you'll find interviews of them speaking basic English. If K-Pop idols are anything to go by, learning English clearly isn't' easy for Korean or Japanese people.

@@GoodOldCinema it isn’t easy but it is not impossible. With hardwork and proper education, they can be as fluent in English like Ryujin, BTS RM, Babymonster Ahyeon etc. Being Korean or Japanese isn’t an excuse for not putting in hardwork to learn.

It's like some people forgot what organic growth looks like. They are averaging 3.3K RU-vid subscribers a day.

@@chrislambert9903 I do dislike how many people within the kpop fandom who obviously are just haters compare them to other newer groups and how others have grown faster then them which I find very silly. What makes XG special is their not relying on others or anything besides their own label and team to take them far, and so far we are seeing such humble beginnings and growth that is actually earned and through hard work and dedication. That’s why I admire this group so much - they give underdog vibes

@@Mxhxajx Not sure what video but I did go to HITC NYC & HITC LA just to see XG & it was sooooo worth it!!

I have exact same question Like how can they sounds good in English song but can't speak English?????

@@christianusrodin8914 何百回もたくさん練習して言えるようになった英語のフレーズと日常会話ができるというのは全く別のものだと思います。

I kept wondering myself but loving it❤

they take language lessons every day. They are now fluent in Korean and speak it with confidence. It's just a matter of time before they feel confident speaking fluently in English.

Level so high gonna need that ladder 🪜 🚀 💫

Chisa and Jurin's English is good but I think they need more confidence and that's normal. I am sure they will speak English fluently in the future 😁

I believe they all understand English very well and speak well, although maybe not as confidently as Maya. But they all know at least 3 languages.

Maya speaks so good she could be like “I’m from Oregon ” and I would be Portland huh.

Happy you enjoyed, it’s all for the fans 🩷
