Girl group XG (XG, Joorin, Chisa, Hinata, Habi, Julia, Maya, Kokona) is gearing up to unveil a broader musical universe in the latter part of this year. On the 8th, XG surprised fans with news of their upcoming second mini album through their official social media channels, hinting at a busy schedule ahead.

They sparked excitement by releasing a single image and confirming their comeback plans for later this year. The imagery, featuring expansive space, suggests endless possibilities and a bigger musical canvas, showcasing their ambition to grow their global fanbase.

Operating within the same creative 'universe', XG has earned public trust and musical credibility with their unique concepts. Fans are eager to see what new songs and performances XG will bring to connect with their audience this time around.

Since their debut mini album 'NEW DNA' last September, XG has gained attention not only in their home country but also internationally, notably in Japan and the United States. Their track 'GRL GVNG' topped the U.S. Billboard chart 'Hot Trending Songs Powered by Twitter', while 'NEW DNA' also claimed the number one spot on Japan's Oricon Weekly Digital Album Chart and Billboard Japan's Hot Album Chart.

XG's continuous growth is evident in their ongoing world tour 'The first HOWL'. In May, their concert in Japan drew an audience of approximately 55,000. Their upcoming performances in Seoul on the 11th and later in New York, Los Angeles, and Taipei are all sold out, highlighting their global popularity.
